Wow, the rainbow grid fountains are insane! All new animation by Pixar = amazing! And once again it's good to hear that Lasseter is overseeing the project and offering his advice to the team.
I was at the park today, nothing much to report.. the area was buzzing with activity, lots of workers on the platform and viewing area. Only thing I noticed is that one the trellises has now been painted green.

So according to this article Knotts is trying to compete with WoC..? Kind of silly to compare the shows I think, but here's the article anyway -

Even though I love Knotts I think they're going to have to try a bit harder if they want to compete with DCA's new show.

Oh my gosh, that just cracks me up! :ROFLOL:
Let's hope that the Knott's folks don't actually think this is a legit alternative to World of Color. Let's hope that Knott's was just trying to plus up the nighttime vibe in that rather dark and woodsy area of the park, and the LA Times tried to slap that competition angle on the story.

Yep, just another example of WoC taking nighttime shows to the next level. I think this may be the first time you have an interactive viewing area where the show actually happens all around you. The fact that they were able to rebuild the viewing area from the ground up allowed them to add all these fun hidden things in there
Hah yes, I'm thinking this is just a seasonal event by Knotts and the blog decided to turn this a competition between parks. As a fun little nighttime event it seems like a nice addition.. but I just don't see how this will rival WoC :lol:

and in other news, the new flower beds in Paradise Park Plaza look really nice!

You know, honestly, the Disneyland Horticulture team just does THE BEST job with this stuff! Disneyland/DCA landscaping consistently outdoes what I've seen at Tokyo Disneyland and DisneySea, and any of the four parks at WDW. Not that those other parks don't have some nicely done landscaping, but there's just something so perfect and so lush about what they do with the beds and displays in Anaheim. Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter; each season brings just amazing displays of color and theme and detail in landscaping.
Maybe its the near-perfect climate in SoCal that helps set them above the other properties around the world, but clearly the Horticulture team in Anaheim is full of some very talented people working with a very healthy budget. It always looks just fantastic!

Very, very, very pretty horticulture. Something that Disney never really fails on. :lol:

I agree, they always do a great job with landscaping! Have you seen the flower beds they've just added to the hub in Main St? That whole area is full of pink and white tulips - looks amazing
Also read that they added yellow tulips to the Casey Jr area, but I haven't seen those in person yet.

They were testing during park hours tonight. V-Fans, random fountains, front mist screen, and all the lights around the lagoon. Everything looked good.
The PoM lighthouse tower was finally on again - but most of the lights weren't working. Can't wait till they fix this!

guests really seemed to love them. --
Macro has a Tech Stuff update today
A closer look at the hidden fountains

Dateline Disneyland also has an update
progress in the viewing area, here you can see where all the hidden fountains are going

That wide show really shows how many fountains the area will have. Awesome

Not so hidden now, are they? :lol:
Gotta love the Internet! For the average visitor though, when those fountains turn on from under the landscaping in those planters, it's really going to surprise people. That's one of those little details that only Disney on top of their game is able to do.

It should look amazing! Add to that the LEDs in the globe lamps that will sweep all kinds of colors in the viewing area.
I wonder what else they're hiding in the planters. There was a warning sign up on a lamppost a while back - had a warning of laser radiation.. makes you wonder if they will hide some of the lasers there as well. :shrug:

Well unless its the new planter out by MK's Space:lookaroun
or the awful YOAMD 1.0 Mickey floral which wasn't horticulture fault as the design was from else where...I think it's a small world also had yellow tulips a few weeks again, they look so pretty around the park.
Dateline Disney has a few shots of the Hub and its flowers at the beginning of the update-

I love the color of the new wood planks in Paradise Park, now if they would only restain the ones along the rest of the pier....

Last year Al Lutz mentioned that the World of Color show would "sweep" up off the lagoon and into the viewing area. At the time I didn't quite understand that, but now it's making more sense.
I'm fairly certain this is the first time fountains and lighting have been used in the viewing area itself for a Disney show, directly adjacent to where the audience is standing. They've really thought of everything for this one!

And what happened with the YOAMD Mickey? I don't remember that.
And the Hub looks lovely.
