Wondrous Journeys Nighttime Spectacular - DLR

New video and details about the new nighttime spectacular at Disneyland, “Wondrous Journeys.”

This all-new nighttime spectacular will celebrate 100 years of Walt Disney Animation Studios in an experience that ignites the dreamer in all of us. “Wondrous Journeys” will feature nods to every film released by the iconic studio over the past century, with music, characters and special moments from favorite stories including “Encanto,” (depicted above), “Hercules,” “The Princess and the Frog,” “Peter Pan,” “Frozen,” “Treasure Planet,” “Big Hero 6,” “Moana,” and more.

I’ve watched this show probably a dozen times now through various YT videos. It’s fantastic. The music and projections are great, and it’s actually themed to the celebration it’s a part of (something they bizarrely screwed up for WDW’s 50th, regardless of how one feels about Enchantment overall). I love how you can watch it in different locations throughout the park and still get a really great and unique experience. This show makes me want to go to Disneyland just to see it.

Here are videos from different vantage points:

I’m glad I’m not the only one who went down this rabbit hole today. I read a review on “that other board” and the person HATED it. So I thought, “I’ll watch a video and see if it’s worth it to wait in a good spot.” Fourteen videos later, with tears streaming down my face, I can’t figure out who would hate this show. I’m not a terribly emotional person but this show has ALL THE FEELS.

I am hoping that if I watch it on video enough times, then maybe I won’t cry during the actual show.

That is so funny. I had watched this video several times and never noticed the train. I guess I was too busy watching and moving to the music. Just watched it again, and how did I miss the train?

From the schedule it looks like it will run every night, some nights with fireworks and sometimes without. Pretty cool.they still have a show on “non fireworks” nights.

With a 6 year old who usually goes to bed at 8, I’m trying to decide if an early “projections only” option will be good enough. It’s scheduled for 7:30 on sweetheart nights.

For now, they only have fireworks scheduled for Fri-Sun nights. Also, I have, on more than one occasion, waited for a long time only for fireworks to be canceled due to winds. Happy there is a really cool show anyway since I am going to DL for the first time in years next month.

My DD doesn’t like fireworks, so I am excited for this option. I realize I am going at a crazy crowded time, so we may just use this time to ride as many rides as possible! Glad they have something to pull people onto Main Street!

I hope you have a great trip!

We decided to get in queue for Peter Pan just before the the projections only version started tonight. It was a nice surprise to see the Blue Fairy and Baymax both fly over us while we waited.
