World of Color – Season of Light

The 23-minute seasonal nighttime spectacular takes over Paradise Bay with dancing fountains, laser lights, and festive projections as a medley of classic and original holiday music plays. Guests can watch it at 9:00 p.m. and 10:15 p.m. from multiple vantage points.

This holiday water show features winter and holiday scenes from various classic Disney films like Cinderella, Lady and the Tramp, Beauty and the Beast, and Fantasia. It also has clips from modern favorites like Frozen, Tangled, Toy Story, and Inside Out.

Holiday songs include “The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire),” “Let It Snow,” “Baby, It’s Cold Outside,” and “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas,” as well as music from Tchaikovsky’s The Nutcracker.

Guests even get to hear Kristoff ask Anna for a kiss.

The show also features scenes with Mickey & Friends, including a hilarious light segment featuring Goofy.

Reserved viewing areas with standing room only are available for guests who enter via a virtual queue or by booking a Dining Package or Dessert Party. Other viewing around Paradise Bay is first-come, first-served.
