Disneyland used the downtime during the two-year pandemic pause of “World of Color” and “Fantasmic” to refurbish and update the hundreds of technological elements and special effects of the nighttime spectaculars that are often submerged under water.
Disney Live Entertainment show director and writer Wendy Ruth and producer Jennifer Magill spoke about the refurbishment process for the nighttime spectaculars that saw “Fantasmic” at Disneyland and “World of Color” at Disney California Adventure return just as visitors remembered them during a round table media panel about the Anaheim theme park’s returning entertainment lineup.
“We had a lot to restore,” Ruth said. “We were down for some time. It took time to put a lot of things back together, especially as they’ve been sitting in the water.”
