It's Tough to be a Bug
This is one of my favorite things to do at DCA. It's a really fun little show...and you get to be an honorary bug with "bug eyes", which makes for a great picture. I don't want to spoil it if you've never experienced it before...but just be ready to be surprised!
Fireworks
I have always been a huge fan of fireworks. Apparently, my parents took me to a baseball game when I was six months old and they thought I was gonna be scared by the fireworks. But, all I did was laugh and squeal with delight. I love fireworks so much...the louder, the better. Disneyland's fireworks are my favorite, especially the way they've been doing them the last few years. They do little sequences from many of the rides, past and present. I've never experienced a better fireworks show in my life.
Captain EO
I am a big fan of Michael Jackson from the 80's. I love Thriller and Billie Jean and The Way You Make Me Feel. Disneyland had a show in the late 80s-early 90s starring Michael Jackson called Captain EO. I remember seeing it the first couple of times we went to Disneyland. I was so excited when they brought it back as a tribute to Michael Jackson after his death. It is a fun 3D show with a couple of original songs by Michael Jackson. I don't know how long they will keep the show there, but we love to see it every time we go.
Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln
This show, and the building it's in, house some of my greatest memories. After my first couple of trips to Disneyland, I went back after a couple of years had gone by. And as soon as I walked into that building, it was like I had never left. It was the greatest feeling in the world. There's something about the smell of that building that makes me so happy. It's something I like to experience on every trip...because when I'm in there, I know I'm really in Disneyland. Besides that, Lincoln is my favorite president, which makes the whole experience that much better.
World of Color
I have only seen this show once live (I watched some videos on YouTube before I saw it in person), but let me tell you, it is so worth it. We got fast passes when we saw it so we could get better viewing, which is also worth it. We even stood there an hour early in the pouring rain with ponchos on, waiting for it to start (and of course the rain stopped when the show started), and it was still worth it. It's about 25 minutes long, and it is simply amazing. The way they project things on the water, and use the water as effects...it's just so incredible. If you've never seen it, I definitely recommend it. I can't wait to see it again on my next trip.
Tomorrow I will finish up the Disneyland portion of this series with the moments I am most happy when I'm there.
