No World of Color after summer at DCA

Guests who call to book dining packages to see World of Color at California Adventure in the fall are being told that there are no scheduled shows after Labor Day. When pressed guest relations says a version of the show may come back after Thanksgiving, but they aren't accepting reservations.

This is a bit of a shock to those guests who planned vacations to Disneyland hoping to see the big new item the resort promoted this summer. I can understand them limiting performances to three or four nights a week as DCA won't support 10 or 11PM closing times all week during the off season, but to not show it at all is a weird decision.

So the question is, are they retooling the show? The biggest complaint about WoC is that it has no story line and no dramatic finish. It's beautiful and powerful as everyone hoped it would be, but Fantasmic! still wins in the story category.

However, I thought that the benefit of the new World of Color technology was that they could make changes on the fly. No retooling required. So it must be something economic related.

Fans? What do you think?


Update: Disneyland has decided to extend DCA hours to 8pm with one show on weekdays and two on weekends. Well, that's a relief. Oddly, the park is still scheduled to close at 6pm on some nights with a show scheduled for 8:15 that night. What are 5,000 guests supposed to do for 2 hours when the park is closed?
