@Kira Nerys did you ever see CineMagique at Disneyland Paris before it closed? It's the one Disney attraction that actually had James Cameron's Titanic in it.

Yes! Nothing better than finishing up the night on Pirates at closing and walking through the nearly empty park towards Main St.I'm a rope-drop-to-after-closing guy. Vacations are *not* for resting!
At a minute to park closing, I love to get on one of the very last Pirates boats and then 20 minutes later walk out through a closed and darkened NOS and Adventureland.
I largely agree with those assessments.
Unfortunately I tend to be a night-owl and will always prefer to do a reverse rope drop and stay until park closing.
I've been able to knock out Pirates, Haunted, and Indy in under half an hour before, simply by staying later. Also, getting to the parks later in the day means much less time dealing with heat and sun.
It needs to do the unexpected, and incorporate live actors. It should get the audience tapping their toes to the music. WoC right now is one of the most robotic-feeling, soulless shows I've ever seen. Pretty isn't everything.Miscellaneous Thought: World of Color needs way more emphasis on the synchronization of water fountains to music and far less on projections. I can't be the only person who feels this way.
Not gonna happen. Disney is all about decreasing labor costs, not increasing them. If they could find a way to take the actors out of all their other live shows, they'd be all over it.It needs to do the unexpected, and incorporate live actors.

Just wishful thinking on my part; I know part of WoC's Color's goal was to be exactly what it is: devoid of all "costly" humanity. On the other hand, they're willing to pay the bill for something like "Frozen" live (which, as you said, I'm sure they'd be happy to replace with fountains and film clips if they could.)Not gonna happen.

World of Color needs a complete overhaul, with a new show designer. Davison has run his course, and I'd love to see someone that's willing to move beyond the "project a Disney animated film greatest hits clip show on water or buildings" approach to show making.
World of Color isn't nearly as amazing as it could be, and neither is the upgraded Fantasmic. Disneyland Forever was impressive because of the projections, not because of show content.
Today's Disney shows are essentially designed around the technology- instead of designing a show and using the best technology to bring that show to life.
I'm not sure it needs live actors, but you raise great points in that it needs a central character to drive the narrative. That being said, there should also be a narrative to drive!
