Wondrous Journeys

Although it debuted back on January 27th with the start of the Disney 100 celebration at the Disneyland Resort, I didn't have a chance to photograph the new Wondrous Journeys fireworks show until last Friday evening, when I headed to the parks and was able to snag a third row location centered on the castle to take pictures after catching the evening performance of the returning Magic Happens parade.  Disney guests love their fireworks and will line up well in advance to get that perfect spot, so I'll have to arrive even earlier to get a front row center spot next time.  That being said, the new fireworks show is a wonderful and spectacular emotional ride through a century of Disney animation, featuring scenes from all sixty Disney Animation Studios animated features (meaning Pixar excluded).  From the big classics that everyone loves like Snow White, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Peter Pan, Pinocchio, Beauty and Beast, The Little Mermaid, The Lion King, Encanto, and more to less prominent cult hits like Atlantis: The Lost Empire, Lady and the Tramp, Oliver and Company, and others, this pyrotechnic spectacular honors all 60+ feature-length animated films.

Here are ten snapshots from my viewing last Friday for your Monday viewing pleasure!
