World of Color Happiness!
The new “World of Color” show is inspired by Walt Disney’s opening-day dedication of Disneyland: “To all who come to this happy place… welcome!”
The show is hosted by Joy and the other emotions of “Inside Out.”
With a touch of Disney magic, World of Color Happiness! paints the different emotional colors that embody happiness. See it happen, as Paradise Bay is transformed into an enchanting place with a brilliant array of signature fountains, dynamic lighting, colorful lasers, fog and dramatic flame effects—creating awe and wonder.
The show will feature musical moments from “Turning Red,” “The Incredibles,” “A Goofy Movie,” “Tangled,” “Encanto,” and more.
Before “World of Color,” a Muppets pre-show will feature Kermit, Gonzo, and other Muppets presenting safety announcements “in a zany song-and-dance number” projected on the World of Color fountains.
The 70th anniversary celebration will run through the summer of 2026.
