From composer Eric Whitacre's Facebook page:

"American singers 18 and over: Disney has commissioned me to write a new piece for them called "Glow" which will be used as part of their World of Color show this holiday season. Best of all, they want the choir to be made up of auditioned singers in our 'virtual style' so that the final performance will be projected onto water, part of the dazzling light show at Disney's California Adventure park in Anaheim. Just go to worldofcolorhonorchoir.com for all the audition materials. Woo hoo!

Here’s how it works: Sign Up on this website, learn your part, record your audition video and submit it. We will select around 500 submissions and join them together to form an Honor Choir for World of Color – Winter Dreams, a new nighttime water spectacular at Disney California Adventure for the holiday season!

If you enter make sure you follow this rule- black or dark blue background and no logos, pictures or words on your shirt. Most of videos posted have missed this rule.

You'll notice that the "sister show" in Paris is called "Dreams of Christmas". Just like how Pirates still has the girl in the barrel there, some things the French don't get offended over.

Holy crud - I'm going to be there for the premier!
I just planned a short visit in conjunction with some business travel and it happens to be overlapping 11/15!!!
Sweet!

I think it's more that the French are ALWAYS offended, so why bother.

First look at making of Toy Story Nutcracker segment

Steve Davison is promising some very exciting new things for the show!

I'm out programming World of Color - Winter Dreams tonight. I saw a fraction of the new finale effect. It's EPIC and will knock your socks off! Everyone in the programming trailer is thrilled! Show opens November 15th! Come out and join us for this amazing new hoiday show. I am so excited!!!

He also posted this last night:

We did a full run through of World of Color - Winter Dreams last night with full audio and everything but the new special effects. I must say, it is a really moving, spectacular show. I will be so excited for all or you to see it. I am very proud of it. And once the finale is done with all the new effects we are adding, the lagoon is going to be the place to be this holiday!

I wonder if the finale effect is snow, like on MSUSA?

Nope! No snow (at least from what I was told a few months ago. Watch, it'll be snow now)

A new article by the OCRegister:

The show will be approx. 30mins long (same as World of Color) and Steve also mentions that he wants to do a Halloween show next!

---- Possible SPOILER below ---






Here's a sneak peek of the new lighting effects that have been installed on Screamin'

Very cool. And a Halloween WoC sounds like a no-brainer. DCA is painfully underwhelming during Halloween.

Yes I even think they should do a Halloween one since NBC has Disneyland Frankenweenie could be at DCA.

Rehearsal highlights of Winter Dreams:

The final holiday touches are being added to the brand-new “World of Color – Winter Dreams” at Disney California Adventure park. Each night as the creative team works, we see just how special this show is going to be. It really is filled with all the wonder, happiness and warmth the holidays bring.

A very special treat in “World of Color – Winter Dreams” is Olaf, the cute little snowman from the new Disney Feature Animated film, “Frozen.” He is our childlike, loveable host of the show. With Olaf, we skate off into a wintery world where we encounter many spectacular surprises.

Looks the show is going to be really good.

 

[etwtec]

Will they do a live broadcast for the Winter Dreams premiere?

 

[Twilight_Roxas]

I think i'm going to like the Toy Story segment.

 

[GiveMeTheMusic]

Will they do a live broadcast for the Winter Dreams premiere?

Unlikely. But there should be no shortage of HD videos of the whole show up on YouTube by Friday morning.

FYI, I don't know if all of the equipment is for Christmas segments or what, but Paradise Lagoon is surrounded with lots an lots of camera and production equipment.

Also, the "Limited Time Magic" event states that there are AP viewings starting 11/15, but they are handing out wrist bands TODAY for AP's to see the premier!
