Today I'm gonna talk about our:
FAVORITE SHOWS TO SEE AT THE PARKS
Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln
When I was little, after the first or second trip my family took to Disneyland, I would imagine this smell. I knew it was in Disneyland and I knew when I smelled it again, I would be in the park and would smile. The next time we went back, I tried to find that smell. And I found it! In the lobby of Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln. I'm guessing it must have been the paint or something they used in there but every time I entered that building and took a good sniff, I knew I was in Disneyland and I'd smile. I'm guessing they changed something in the past few years because I no longer smell that smell in that building anymore, but I still love this attraction. Abraham Lincoln is my favorite president and I love everything about this show in honor of him.
It's Tough to Be a Bug
I think this show is super fun. You get to be an "honorary bug" and they give you bug glasses to fit the part (they also give you the glasses because the show is in 3D). If you like A Bug's Life, you will love this show (and if you've never done it before, there are some really fun surprises waiting for you!). They have used this theater more recently to show previews for upcoming Disney movies so it isn't always open. But when it is, it's definitely worth a watch!
World of Color
This is one of my most favorite shows in the parks. Set on the waters of Paradise Pier, this show uses water, lights and projections to showcase beloved scenes from Disney movies. The current show, World of Color Celebrate, highlights 60 years of Disneyland and is hosted by Neil Patrick Harris. The ride sequences aren't my favorite, as they don't actually show a lot of actual footage from the rides, but it's still a great show. I highly recommend it if you've never seen it. And a little tip: if you stand right up against the fence, you will get wet!
Paint the Night Parade
This is new for the 60th anniversary. Taking its inspiration from Disney's Main Street Electrical Parade from the 80s and 90s (it can still be seen in Disney World, as of publish date), this nighttime parade dazzles with tons of amazingly lit up parade floats. I loved the Electrical Parade as a kid, but this parade is just so much fun. We have seen it at least five times now and it never gets old.
Fireworks
I have always been a huge fan of fireworks. My parents like to tell the story of my first baseball game (when I was six months old) that happened to be on the 4th of July. They were worried I would be scared of the loud booms, but instead I clapped and laughed. I still love the loud booms. The bigger, the better. Disneyland's current fireworks show is in celebration of the 60th anniversary. The fireworks show they played before was the one they created for the 50th anniversary of the park. It was my favorite...until I saw the current one. It's awesome! They project images on the castle, the Matterhorn, It's a Small World and on the buildings of Main Street. Because of the unique nature of this show, you get a different experience in each place you stand. We have seen the show in front of the castle, in front of the Matterhorn and in the middle of Main Street, and each time was definitely a different experience. The songs they created for the show are also great and the finale part makes me cry every time I watch it.
