Amazing New Years Eve Countdown shows at Disneyland and California Adventure (Merged)

[JMora]

While I LOVED the DCA Paradise Bay show (WoC + pyro = AWESOME), I think too many people are bashing on Disneyland's show unnecessarily. Disneyland's was classier, I feel, and did a decent job drumming up excitement despite having a lot less to work with. I dunno, I feel like I could've been at either and loved them both

In my opinion, people were just happy to something new, in general. I mean, Disneyland's fireworks NYE show/display has been the same routine (music lineup, etc) for over a decade, if not more. Disneyland needs to do something new but Go Fly A Kite, It's A Small World & Zip a Dee Doo Dah segments still a fav...

I totally agree. Two totally different shows with different amounts of space. DCA's show was awesome, but I'll give credit to DL that they didn't play Justin Bieber.

Disneyland's show was family oriented, and more than wonderful for my 10 year old.Each one iof us found plenty to love, and we would not have chosen to have been anywhere else.

But if Disneyland had the better show and everyone started bashing DCA. There would be no complaints from anyone about it. And you know it's true.

Looks like DCA walked away with this one. What an amazing show! I wonder if the Fourth of July will be next. Hmmmmm....

Thanks for the videos everyone. Dusty...I had no idea the quality on the iphone was that good. I need to be shooting more videos with my phone!

DCA looked better, but Disneyland is still #1.

The videos of DCA's New Year's looked great. I was doing video work at Universal CityWalk last night, but escaped early and was able to watch Disneyland and DCA's shows from the McDonalds on Harbor Blvd.

Looked high and low on youtube and didn't find anything yet.

Well, I must say that this is without a doubt the best countdown show I've ever seen from DLR. Very nice. I would've much rather have been at DCA then sitting on my butt at home watching some stupid glowy ball drop.

DCA's show is amazing. It really shows how different it is compared to the past countdowns there. I'm happy they put Lady Gaga's "Telephone" in there too!!!
Like the ones before the lagoon was drained.

And the one that they did in Sunshine Plaza last year because the lagoon was drained.

I apologize if these have been posted already, but these videos are pretty cool. DCA, in previous years, failed miserably. lol Both videos courtesy of asianbma.
Look at this years.

And look at last years. lol xD

Well that's unfortunate.

Luckily the creative team realized he is one of the biggest selling artists in the music industry at the moment and a number of those watching 'Fountains & Fireworks' enjoy his music.

Doesn't Disney have to pay to use that music. I'm surprised they didn't just use music they own.

[Ummmmm, No]

Doesn't Disney have to pay to use that music. I'm surprised they didn't just use music they own.

They care about what's popular - what connects with the younger generations.

If you don't want to hear that music - go to Disneyland.
