Can only do one nighttime show- which one?

[mgsquared]

Hey everyone,

Headed to Disney for the weekend this upcoming weekend. We fly in Friday evening and leave Sunday evening.

So we can only do one show on Saturday, the electrical parade in DCA or the new castle show in Disneyland. Which one would you do? Leaning towards castle show.. classic!

We have been to Disneyland and Disney World before (twice to each) if that helps. But these are both new pixar themed shows. Can't decide!

I haven't seen the new show, but for me Paint the Night is a can't miss. It's incredible.

I am with @ashley0139 ! However good the new fireworks show is, you will not go wrong if you choose PTN.

I’m wondering if it would be possible to do both, since it looks like paint the night is running twice a night?

You should be able to do both. You can watch the fireworks at 9:30 and then watch the second PTN at 10:45.

It would be a lot more for 2 day park hoppers. Wasn't planning on doing that.

Are you doing a park hopper on Saturday or are you trying to decide which park to go to Saturday and which one to go to on Sunday?

We were just going to get 1 park per day tickets like we usually do. But honestly, you all are convincing me. We should maybe get park hoppers and try to do both. We saw the electrical parade in Tokyo Disneyland and it was really amazing.

Personally, I would go with the hoppers so you can do all of the entertainment for Pixar Fest.

I went Friday, we were able to see PTN first show, then we ran across to catch the ending of the fireworks, but got to see the full Fantasmic 2nd show.

What is the new castle show??? Paint the Night is absolutely worth it.

There is new a fireworks show with all new projections and the pyrotechnics themselves are pretty amazing.

 

[mgsquared]

So you have to run across and then maybe catch the end? That sounds stressful.

I would do fireworks then PTN if your going to both in one night, way less stressful and easier to do.

For reference last night the parade ran from the swings to Hollywood land on the first showing and then in reverse for the second showing.

Paint the Night and fireworks.

There’s an hour and fifteen minutes between the start of one and the start of the other-I think it’s totally doable if you want.

And parkhoppers are a must at DL anyway, at least for us! Doooo it

 

[OKW Lover]

If I had to choose I'd go with Paint the Night. Incredible!

 

[mgsquared]

Thank you everyone!

Just saw the new fireworks show this past weekend, and PTN. If I could only do one again, it would be fireworks.

PTN. I watched a video of the new fireworks and....meh. It's definitely not Disney's best effort.

PTN, though, is amazing!
