Part of the new Oogie Boogie Bash at Disney California Adventure, Villainous! promises a captivating story featuring all your favorite villains with the trademark World of Color fountains, lights and music. Though billed as the highlight of the party, Villainous! fails to meet many expectations, though not completely without merit.

Wait, are those the Newsies coming down the street?!  Oh, not quite, but they're still high energy and have some great dance moves!  If you've been to California Adventure then chances are you've heard or seen this show from a distance.  There are a lot of impressive parts of the show, but if you have somewhere to go you can always catch the show later.

The most successful daytime parade to come out of Disney California Adventure is the Pixar Play Parade which celebrates the wonderful world of the Pixar family - at home in DCA!  This upbeat parade can be an excellent way to keep the kids entertained for a while during what can be one of the least productive times of day, but maybe you only need to see it once per trip.

The hottest new ticket in town is the new show Frozen - Live at the Hyperion in Hollywood Land at Disney California Adventure.  It took some time and some trial and error, but we were able to see it less than one week from its opening day.  Even if you're not a big Frozen​ fan, there's a lot to love about this new stage show!

By now, most people are at least familiar with Disney California Adventure's nighttime spectacular "World of Color" in Paradise Bay.  For the Diamond Celebration at the Disneyland Resort there's a new version, officially titled "World of Color - Celebrate! The Wonderful World of Walt Disney".  It's a long title, but the show is full of nostalgia and wonder and, if you're a Disney history geek like me, Disney magic.
