Never been to DL or seen World of Color other than a video, so help me out. Does everything open back up after the show, or is the park then closed for the night? Isn't Illuminations shown right at park closing as well? It makes me wonder now that we see that there will be more seating area than first thought if this show will be only once at park closing instead of possible multiple showings like Fantasmic.

F! on both coasts, as well as WoC can have either one or two shows per night, depending on the crowd levels/time of year. Shows that rely heavily on FW are typically shown only once due to cost and set-up time. ROL clearly falls in the former category, so it is conceivable that they could run more than one show per night. If memory serves me well, they don't close Splash or BTMRR down at DL during F!, so if that's any basis, I doubt that EE will close during ROL.

I'd be surprised if RoL is not running 2 times a night regularly, except during perhaps the slowest times of the year.

Good point, I didn't even think about the lack of fireworks for RoL. Should be no reason there isn't more than one showing per night, except during the slow periods, but even then with the record crowds last year and once Avatar opens, there may be a need for multiple shows year round.
