The World of Color Road Show is in San Diego July 22-25. As announced in this press release, Disney has been taking its new nighttime spectacular “on the road” to the cities of San Francisco, Sacramento, San Diego, and Los Angeles.

Since you can’t really take the fountains and lasers and lights to a remote location, what’s really happening is that in each city different animation sequences, which showcase themes and characters that actually appear in the show, are projected onto a large surface in that area. In San Diego, that happens to be the side of the U.S.S. Midway, an aircraft carrier that is now a museum. Yeah, that’s a pretty large surface! There are different shows with different themes for each city – for San Diego, the theme, appropriately enough, is “Water”, and includes scenes from The Little Mermaid, Finding Nemo, Fantasia and Fantasia 2000, Alice in Wonderland, Pocahontas, and Bambi. Even classics like Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs and Pinocchio make an appearance.

Though it sounds like something to experience in person, this is only intended to be an on-line experience, where those interested visit the www.WorldofColorRoadShow.com to actually see (and even participate!) in the show. The on-line experience runs nightly from 9:00-11:30 p.m. on July 22-25. If you missed the live broadcast in San Diego, you can still catch the webcast for Los Angeles, which will occur on July 29-31 and August 1 from 9-11:30 p.m.

We’ll have more footage of the show in the next couple of days after Lee has had a chance to edit the video he took, but in the meantime here’s a taste of it, courtesy of Disney:

I have to say I think my favorite moment is the little bucket-carrying broom at the end – he appears at the very end and closes all of the shows.
