I'm at work so I can't listen to it yet,but does it have the actual "paint the night" segment in it still or was that taken out? (The music during the paintbrush segments)

So with our PTN, what other units are they planning on having other than what's already there, plus the two Jubilation floats? I know Micechat mentioned a Frozen unit a while ago, but anything else?

There'll be something for everyone. More walk around characters, more walk around characters in general. As for floats and units, less PIXAR, more Disney Animation.

Most of our info has come from Miceage Updates over the last six months, with lots of backup and extra info provided by @GiveMeTheMusic .

But the basic rundown from Miceage on what is coming for the 60th Anniversary starting in May is this, in no particular order...

  • New night parade for Disneyland, based heavily on Hong Kong's new Paint The Night Parade
  • New fireworks show for Disneyland, done by Steve Davison
  • New World of Color show for DCA, done by Steve Davison
  • Upgrades to the Fantasyland Dark Rides (new animatronics, HD mapping, effects, audio, etc.)
  • Upgrades to Matterhorn Bobsleds (new Harold animatronics, lift and cavern effects, etc.)
  • Christmas star returns to Matterhorn, along with Nostalgia campaign touting old favorites and forgotten 'stuff'
  • Hatbox Ghost returns to Haunted Mansion
  • Luigi's Flying Tires closed and rebuilt into Luigi's Festival of the Dance (dancing car ride)
  • Soarin' upgraded to 4K projectors, Condor Flats rethemed to Grizzly Peak
  • Innoventions lower level redone to Disneyland nostalgia exhibit
  • Castle refurbed into sparkly diamond edition, diamond décor added throughout Resort

Nice.
Seeing these images reminds me once again of those *sparkling* strobe lights i was talking about earlier in this thread, and how these would create a great visual for the Castle, to sparkle like diamonds.

These graphics really seem to suggest that perhaps those light effects will be used.
Interested to see if it ends up happening.
I think it would look beautiful if done tastefully.

I have a feeling next weeks parade announcement is going to be highly HKDLs parade info and images. We probably won't know much more than we do now.

Yeah, but Wishes and IllumiNations have each been around for more than a decade now. MSEP has been partying like it's 1776 for over 3 decades now. That isn't nostalgia you hear, that's the sound of apathy. I LOVE Wishes and IllumiNations and tolerate the MSEP (can't get over the loss of SpectroMagic due to neglect); but, it's time for a change. A large part of nostalgia is recapturing that feeling of being fresh/new/young. It's hard to do that when they keep carting out the same product year after year.

Despite being the older park, Disneyland does a great job feeling fresh and new. I wish the same could be said of WDW.

Illuminations DID get a major improvement with the new lasers. It may sound small but it did add a lot to the show. We also have Festival Of Fantasy which is still pretty new. The thing about WDW is that it's so big, you can usually find a place you've never fully explored or knew about yet. Sorry to get off topic...

So while were still speculating on all things 60th, Mintcrocodile has 3 interesting photos on his blog this week.

http://mintcrocodile.blogspot.com/2015/01/repairs-and-additions-are-taking-place.html

Seems there are projection mapping projectors sitting in at least 2 windows on Main Street one in the Market House aimed at the Fortuosity Shop and Emporium has one aimed at the Disney Showcase-

You can see the projector in the 2nd floor window just above the "101" on the Emporium sign.

At first I thought it was a camera lens to maybe get a picture of the Fortuosity shop prior to a refurb for a scrim? The Emporium one throws that out since Disney Showcase was just painted in Oct. So with that and thanks to the close up it appears to be a Barco projector it looks kinda like this one

I want to say its probably just for the 60th announcement, but I think it would be awesome if Main Street got projection mapped during the fireworks or something.

Or, heck, during Paint The Night. I know WDW has projectors with gobos in their windows for special events like the Christmas party and such, but to use them on a thematic levels would be great.
