Oh no no no. I meant SoL could still be the same just adding more films like Moana, RBTI, Frozen 2, Coco, Onward, Soul, Luca, Raya & Last Dragon, Turning Red, Encanto, Strange World, Elemental, and Wish.
Based on recent precedent, assume that they are incapable of adding IP without also entirely changing the show and likely ruining what works about it in the process.

Be careful what you wish for.

Kinda unrelated, but it's the closest thread so ehh.

I finally got to see World of Color (just the winter seasonal show) for the 1st time last Saturday (11/18). My last and also very first trip to DCA was back in 2010, so no WoC yet and there were walls everywhere and I was only like 10 years old. I do remember the giant California letters outside the park gates tho!

Anyways, WoC was what I imagined it would. A grand display of fountains and water, with music. It still wow'd me that chilly night, despite seeing countless videos of the show(s) online. My MagicBand+ also played along with the show, but not much compared to other shows like HEA and F! in WDW.

All of the moving fountains in the back row were working as far as I can tell. The flames were not working for that night. The heart shaped bubbles during the finale weren't working either. Was really disappointed since I kinda hyped up that effect with my friends who were true first-timers.

The WoC: Seasons of Light show itself was a bit long imo (~30 mins long). Think they could cut a song or two, especially with the long post-show. My absolute favorite segment is the Trans-Siberian 'Carol of the Bells'. As noted, the fire wasn't working that night, so it was a bit of a bummer. The Peace on Earth finale is also very good, despite the missing heart bubbles.

I’ve been looking at video lately, and yeah, no fire so far this season, but every video I’ve seen has had the bubbles working, shame it didn’t for you.

Fountain array itself seems to be in good shape, even the chasers don’t have noticeable gaps anymore.

Darn, guess it was an off night for the bubbles. It was a bit windy during the 10:30pm show, but that hasn't stopped it in the past years afaik.

And yea I was surprised with the fountains themselves. Their upkeep has been better then pre-Covid surprisingly lol.

I saw WoC One this past Saturday and during the 9pm show towards the end, Incredicoaster broke down and as expected, its work lights turned on.

I was mildly irritated on how the lights are seen through the mist screen as seen in the photo I took below. I'm likely in the minority here but I think the coaster should go back to being closed for the show. And I'm usually out of the parks by 10pm on weekends so staying for the 10:15 is not an option for me.

I don't think there is any plans for the original to return considering the new one is still running outside the "100th celebration".
I'm sure the original will return at some point, but this is weird, ONE has no business to be running this long, the celebration it's attached to has ended and it's not even THAT good to be keeping this long considering the original is iconic and the most well regarded version.

It does have IP that Iger likes - some obviously shoe-horned in. I love the original for the opening sequence and the wall-e sequence because what they do with the lasers in the fountains is so cool - they try to do it in ONE during the mufassa talking but it’s not as good.

OG World of color needs to come back. ONE isn't terrible, but the OG is just better but it doesn't look like there's any plans to bring it back.

Booking my first Disneyland and have a question, why do WOC Dining Packages never show up? I did not know you were supposed to book the Storytellers Cafe and then ask. Such a confusing reservation system, I hope I can get reservations since I really want to see WOC.

Honestly, the Virtual Queue is also really easy, we waited until 1PM, got the second show, and then went about 30 mins before, got a front row spot.
