Hey there, Jessica! Thanks for swinging by planDisney with your question. I’m so excited you’re taking your son to see
World of Color. My family and I will be there in two weeks, and we too are so excited to see
World of Color!
I have good news – you can join the
virtual queue for World of Color at 12:00 p.m. while you are physically at either park. You must have entered Disney California Adventure Park with a one-park ticket or Park Hopper ticket, or Disneyland Park with a Park Hopper ticket.
My suggestion is around 11:50 a.m., open the
Disneyland mobile app, click on Virtual Queues, Join Virtual Queue, and select Disney California Adventure Park. You’ll see World of Color listed here. You’ll see an option to “Preselect Party” – click on that and select your party. You’ll see a “Refresh” button below. The instructions say to tap the “Refresh” button at noon to launch the joining process. I would start tapping that button repeatedly a minute before noon! I have been able to secure spots in the virtual queue this way before. There is no additional cost to join the virtual queue.
There is another option, which is the
World of Color dining package or
World of Color Dessert Party, for a more magical, premium experience. These experiences come with reserved viewing areas. If you don’t see availability in the app, you can still check day of, as there are last minute cancellations.
Jessica, I wish you an evening of color, magic, light, enchantment and lifelong memories with your son!
