Rogers The Musical - Full Show!

 


Can you believe they actually had this show at Disney California Adventure?  It was a great show, and I am so sad it's no longer playing...Honestly, I'm sad nothing is playing in that theater currently!

Rogers: The Musical is a limited time showing of a 35 minute production about Captain America and a brief glimpse of the rest of the Avengers, too. This was my view from the balcony, on the left hand center-ish side of the stage. Honestly, I really liked this show. I enjoyed it far more than I thought I would, and it was not worth the cost of getting the $29 VIP seat, as this view was fine. 

 I showed up about 45 minutes ahead of the show and got a seat easily. 

 "A Timeless Story of a Timeless Hero “I don’t like bullies; I don’t care where they’re from.” (Captain America) In theatrical splendor, relive the life of Steve Rogers, a.k.a. Captain America! The musical retelling takes you from Steve’s humble beginnings during World War II to becoming Captain America and leading the Avengers. 

Be on the lookout for appearances by Peggy Carter and Nick Fury—and watch some of your favorite Avengers assemble in epic, show-tune style. It’s a larger-than-life one-act musical coming this summer for a limited time to the Hyperion Theater in Hollywood Land at Disney California Adventure Park."

Disneyland's Mickey & Minnie's Runaway Railway - Entire Ride + Queue

 


The day Mickey & Minnie's Runaway Railway went to standard queue, my family happened to be at the park. We got lucky and in the evening, it was only a 30 minute wait! 

A fun little ride with a catchy tune, it was an enjoyable experience. Even the queue was really entertaining. Reading all the signs and seeing the little details helped pass the time fairly quickly! 

"Step into the whimsical universe of a Mickey Mouse short and hitch a ride on Engineer Goofy's train. What could possibly go wrong? Cue hilarious hijinks! A relaxing train ride suddenly turns into a zany, free-ranging romp through ever-changing and rearranging cartoon scenes. You’ll quickly learn that anything can happen in this out-of-control animated world. But don’t worry, with friends like Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse, you’re bound to get back on track. All aboard!"

Wondrous Journeys - A NEW Disneyland Fireworks Spectacular!

 



Have you seen the new fireworks show at Disneyland, called Wondrous Journeys?  It's fantastic!  This is the opening night show, from Jan 27, 2023.  The location for this view was to the left of the castle, right in front of the turkey leg/corn on the cob cart.  It was an excellent view!  My favorite part of the show was the mash up of classic Disney songs...seriously awesome.  Fans were crying, this show was so touching!

Check out my video below:



Here is a map, showing my view.  If you look on Google, you'll see the turkey cart listed.  We were directly in front of that, on the curb.  You can sit most of the waiting, but about the last 30 minutes to an hour before the show, they try to make you stand.






A Spark of Inspiration

Gaze in wonder as Sleeping Beauty Castle and Main Street, U.S.A. become a marvelous canvas for 100 years of Walt Disney Animation Studios storytelling. Thrill as talented artists transform empty pages brimming with possibility into beloved Disney characters and vivid animated worlds awash with magic.

All of this and more is brought to life by soaring music, stunning state-of-the-art projection technology—and on select nights, sensational pyrotechnics!

 

100 Years in the Making

For over 100 years, Walt Disney Animation Studios has unlocked a special kind of wonder in our lives. These films have inspired us to dream bigger, unleash our spirit of adventure, discover the power within—and realize that it’s kind of fun to do the impossible.

Orca Encounter at Sea World, San Diego!

 

The Orca Encounter at Sea world in San Diego, California is an amazing experience.  This was my first time ever seeing this show, and I thought they did a great job!  It's very interactive, audience participation is requested, and there is a giant screen showing cool facts and pictures behind the water.

 

The view for this video was filmed in the row behind what is painted as the splash zone. We did not get wet in our spot, so I'd say the zones are accurately marked! "See orcas in the first experience of its kind. Dive deeper into the orcas masterful hunting techniques and complex communication codes. Learn about the role of family, the importance of play and what we learn from the whales in our care every day is actively helping whales in the wild survive. Witness natural orca behaviors while an expansive infinity screen brings their story to life. Leave with a deeper connection to one of the sea’s mightiest, most magnificent animals."
