Following the presentation of the FASTPASS and meal options, Doug McIntyre, Disneyland’s Director of Entertainment Development and Production shared details of Glow Fest, a street party that will precede World of Color. Guests will gather in Sunshine Plaza at about 6pm each night. A host will lead the festivities, assisted by two groups of performers: world dancers who will change from week to week, and a resident troupe, the Glow Dancers. Described as a ritual transition from day to night, this kick-off to Glow Fest will include an interactive “drumming down the sun” ceremony, at sunset.
Following this, shortly after 8pm, the party will move on to Hollywood Boulevard in the Hollywood Pictures Backlot. Special graphics, set pieces and light towers will create a festive atmosphere. Guests will help create this atmosphere by participating in interactive activities that will project their images onto the wall of the Hyperion Theater at the end of the street, as well as in satellite locations. Smaller stages, bars selling specialty drinks, and food vending stands will complete the setting for this phase of the party that will last until DCA’s official closing.
