Deb Wills and I were fortunate to be able to attend the World of Color Premiere event tonight. It was an amazing experience – I like World of Color more every time I see it.

We posted a short video to youtube earlier this evening with highlights from World of Color from the dress rehearsal last week. You can see that here (and thanks to Lee for doing the editing on it!)

It’s really too late to try to tell you much about it, so I’ll just share some photos for now.

Our Master (Mouster?) of Ceremonies was the one and only Mickey Mouse – but this was the *talking* Mickey that you may have seen several weeks ago – his mouth moves along with what he’s saying, and he can blink his eyes. In fact, he even joked with Teri Hatcher that he needed to take a second photo with her because he thought his eyes had been closed! It was pretty cool!

I was able to watch a lot more of the show this time, though I still took both pictures and video. As I said, I like it more each time I see it – I’m sure I will continue to notice new things in it for a long time to come. This photo shows some of the laser effects.

And more fountains doing more things:

What? The show is over already???

Afterwards, Deb had the opportunity to interview Disneyland Ambassador Quinn Shurian about the Summer Nightastic! events, and also about his position as one of the Disneyland Ambassadors.

She also spoke to Sayre Wiseman, Director, Show Production, Walt Disney Imagineering, about the World of Color, something Sayre has been involved in from its inception. We’ll have the interviews on-line as soon as possible.

We’ll have lots more video to come – Deb interviewed Bob Iger, Tom Staggs (President of Disney Parks and Resorts) and George Kalogridis (among others) on the blue carpet, and of course we’ll have her interviews with Sayre Wiseman and Quinn Shurian.

Lots more events tomorrow!
