Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's been a while since I've really been wowed at
the Disneyland resort, like I always love it. I always
loved being there, but I was just surprised at what
we got to see when we went to Disneyland, went
out and about last weekend with Nick Pouliochini.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Morning, Nick, Good morning Amy. How's it going.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
It's going great. So we went to a Galaxy far
far away. We did our normal thing, wandered around and
finished up because it was the end of the Food
and Wine festival, so we did all that and then
we went over to this to the park, to Disneyland
and headed over to Galaxy's Edge. And I mean, I
know that we were talking about this and I just
(00:42):
kept looking at you, going wow, wow, Nick, that was
really great. So what it is is that Disney has
two new nighttime shows and it's four Season of the Force.
And that's all because they do their Star Wars after
dark events. But this is Season of the Force where
(01:03):
it's just sort of a light overlay around the park
that Star Wars leading up to May the fourth.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
Right, So you've got that back on Galaxy's Edge and
then that all is happening plus Tomorrowland. So This is
kind of the cool thing. There is a park takeover,
as you said, and it runs not just through May
the fourth, it runs through May eleven, so it's kind
of a nice as you said, like a light overlay.
But those two shows that we saw specifically are exclusive
to Basu or Galaxy's Edge. One would be a Rise
(01:32):
of Fire the Rising Moons, which is very unique because
it's using the existing Disneyland fireworks show that you can
see from anywhere in the park, but when you are
off Galaxy or off planet actually on Bought two at
Galaxy's Edge, it's a completely different show, including a lot
of the music from the Star Wars franchise, so you
hear a lot of those John Williams songs that you're very,
(01:53):
very familiar with. And then the newest thing is you said,
Shadows of Memory, a Skywalker Saga is a brand new
project show that happens on the spires at Batu or
at Galaxies that really really incredible with holograms and everything else,
something that you've never seen before at Disneyland and very unique.
You really haven't seen any other theme park around the world, you.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
Know, and if you've been to the Disneyland for their
fireworks shows. They've gotten really good at putting the projections
up on the castle and the matterhorn and that kind
of stuff. So it's along those vein or along that vein.
But this show, it's it's like fifteen or twenty minutes song, right,
and it encompasses the six Star Wars movies, so episode
(02:33):
one all the way up through six, which is a
Return of the Jedi, and it's Luke Skywalker's you know,
it's while he's part of the Star Wars universe, and
it's sort of like a comic book come to life
but not.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
It's great way to put it.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
And it's just so cool with it. And like I said,
I was just absolutely wowed by it because what they're
doing with those projections on these spires in BA two
is just it's so amazing. Like they turn from rock
and then the rock crumbles and it looks like the
rock is actually crumbling off the spires, and then they
(03:13):
turn it into waterfalls and it looks like water is
actually flowing down the side of these spires. The technology
that they've come up with is so amazing. And then
the sound with the music and they've got narration, and
it was just fabulous, and that one happens like at
eight thirty. And then, as you mentioned, the fireworks, and
the fireworks blew my socks off too because I love
(03:35):
the fireworks at Disneyland, but this was a different viewpoint
or a different vantage point, and it's a whole different show.
Even the fireworks are exactly the same as when you're
sitting in front of the castle, but they're different because
they're in Galaxy's.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
Edge, correct, And so I mean, if you're familiar with
the existing Disneyland fireworks show, there's a hidden mickey at
one point that's coming up near the end. You can
even see that because of the angle being different at
that back of the park, you almost miss it. So
it's a completely new and completely different experience something that
I don't know. It's a very clever use of a
(04:10):
very large theme park to be able to really lean
into something different. But again, like you've already said, using
an existing event, using an existing entertainment piece that Disney
already had built in, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
It was a whole new entertainment show for me. So again,
that's going on through May eleventh at least. Although I
talked to a cast member, I said, how long are
you guys going to do this? And they were like, well,
it's we've had such a great response to it that
we might keep it indefinitely. So we don't know, because
Galaxy's Edge is you know, that's going to be there
indefinitely or forever, right, So yeah, so if you get
(04:45):
next time you go to the park, I would definitely
carve out some time in the evening to head to
Galaxy's Edge to see these two shows, the Shadows of
Memory a Skywalker saga, and then that's followed a short
time later by the Fireworks show that both just spectac
just spectacular.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
And there's still four more nights of Star Wars Night available,
including tonight that is not sold out, So tonight, the
twenty fourth, the twenty ninth, the first of May, and
the sixth of May. So those are also four nights
that are exclusive after hours events were Disneyland after Dark
that you can also check out an even more intense
version of what we've already talked about, something that's exclusive
to that to the special event.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
All right, Usually that sells out, So we don't know
if that means that we've all been, like the super
fans have all been, which gives you an opportunity to go.
But it's a cool, it's a fun thing and whether
you go to after Dark or you're just going to
the park, seriously, go to Galaxy's Edge and check out
the new shows from that vantage point. Absolutely stunning. Thank you, Nick, Paula.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
O'Kane, and you got it.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
No worries, all right, go back to sleep now, I
Speaker 2 (05:49):
Will promise, all right,
