Ummmm...... Maybe I'm just getting old, but I don't get it.

Even after I have a couple of those Glowjitos they'll be serving at the Glow Bar, I don't think I'm going to get these videos.

Or am I just totally out of it and everyone else understands these?

I love the concept -- making music out of random noises from the films with beats. I just think they're wayyy too repetitive, especially the one for Alice. As background noise and playing on screens it will give a pretty cool Disney at night vibe, but I think they could have a lot more fun with these honestly.

yep, they're a bit different.. but they seem to be really popular online, so popular in fact that Disney hired this guy to create a music video when Up was released. I think it will be fun, should create a pretty fun atmosphere - we'll have to wait and see what they come up with for the party.

in other news, the Summer Nightastic banners/billboards are now up around the resort. While the website and commercial use the old Nightastic logo, these new ads feature the new one -

The setup for Glow Fest is going up very quickly at DCA. They had a lot of light towers being set up along Hollywood Blvd in HPB, as well as giant themed boxes that will probably hold projectors/lighting equipment. It's shaping up to be a pretty big event.

These new glasses for Summer Nightastic will be released next week. For APs only, they will be free with any purchase (from June 11-17) Also, it looks like we may finally get Summer Nightastic merch this year:

Glow Fest opened up yesterday at DCA. Although the 6:15 event was cancelled last-minute, the late-night festival started at 8:15. It was bright, loud, very colorful, and very different from a normal Disney event (think NYE or Grad Nite parties).. They had a live DJ, two bars on opposite ends of the street, and all kinds of projections and lights with dancers throughout the entire street. Very fun atmosphere but certainly not for everyone. They had the Disney remixes by Pogo playing now and then - with the videos playing on the dozens of TV screens lined up along the street.

Interactive projections on the Hyperion facade. Cameras would capture the movement of people dancing and it would project it in different patterns/colors on the wall

new lighting for pretty much every building

It takes sounds and phonemes of the dialogue and mixes them into really trippy tracks.

Summer Nightastic we all waiting for this,Kinda surprised they kept the Summer Nightastic, name, since World of Colour is the head-liner. World of Colour brings Disney animation to life with powerful fountains that are the stars of the show, forming the world’s largest projected water screen,now it open between june11-august 29,I think all enjoy and like it very much.

Word is that Fantasmic! is now sporting some fancy colored lasers similar to World of Colors... Not sure ifs its true but as soon as I find video of it I'll post it here. Upgrades to Fantasmic! are always welcome.

 

[sponono88]

^ I actually saw the new lasers when Fantasmic returned back in May. I heard they are currently going through their final programming so they are even more apparent now. They are very bright and vibrant, with full color. Certainly a huge improvement over the old green/red lasers which were often barely visible. In addition to the lasers they also added new fog machines to that create a thicker mist.

Here's a video I found, although it doesn't capture how bright they really are. they make a cool wave effect that kinda hovers in the sky over the audience

New video from the Disney Parks Blog - Summer at DCA:


http://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/2010/07/whats-happening-at-disney-california-adventure-park-this-summer/

In January, we began sharing a series of videos (with the help of our host, Eddie) to document all the exciting changes coming to Disney California Adventure park.

Today’s video focuses on the new attractions and shows that are available at Disney California Adventure park this summer. “World of Color” and Silly Symphony Swings are now open, and we’re also sharing video of the nighttime party Glow Fest and Lotso, a “Toy Story 3” character now appearing in Disney’s Pixar Play Parade.

If you’re looking for more details about what’s coming to Disney California Adventure park, check out www.DisneysCaliforniaAdventure.com or visit the Blue Sky Cellar in the park.

A pretty cool Fantasmic! blooper.. well, not really a blooper. It's an alternate ending while they work on Mickey's lift mechanism. Sorcerer Mickey says the last line - Some imagination, huh?

I actually really like this ending..

Hey, that's actually a great ending! It's different, but doesn't really lessen the show any.

That video also reminds me how absolutely awesome Fantasmic! at Disneyland currently is. All of that new tech they've added (digital projections, reworked pyro, lighting, audio, new laser arrays, etc.) over the last three years has really added up and paid off. The show is nearly 20 years old now, but it looks crisp and fresh and modern and still stands up strong next to World of Color next door. Bravo Disneyland!

Glow Fest has been extended through Labor Day, according to Al Lutz

The wildly popular Glow Fest has now been extended through Labor Day, beginning 8/23 in a new format confined to the Sunshine Plaza area. The original end date was 8/22, but huge cocktail and food sales, and the continuing high survey rankings the nightly party gets from visitors, convinced TDA that Glow Fest needed to be extended right through the very end of summer. The TRON version, designed in-house this time, will debut later in September in the Hollywood Pictures Backlot.

[sponono88]

A Disneyland spokesman confirmed today that the full format of Glow Fest, including the dance party, will continue through Labor Day.

http://ocresort.ocregister.com/2010/08/18/disney-dance-party-extended-through-labor-day/53283/

Disney California Adventure visitors can keep dancing in the streets for two extra weeks now that the park is extending the nightly parties.

The full Glow Fest, a nightly, neon-splashed performance and interactive dance, now is scheduled to run through Sept. 6, which is Labor Day, said John McClintock, a Disneyland Resort spokeswoman.

Glow Fest is a two-part celebration starting with shows in the Sunshine Plaza near the park’s entrance and continuing with a dance party in the Hollywood Boulevard area. See a previous story and poll about Glow Fest at Disney California Adventure.

Originally, the dance parties were set to end Sunday, while the performances were scheduled to run longer through Labor Day. Now, both parts of Glow Fest are running through Sept. 6.
