Celebrate the Art of Flavor

Experience a kaleidoscope of culinary experiences at this year’s Disney’s California Food & Wine Festival, taking place April 16 – May 31, 2010, at Disney’s California Adventure® Park and select locations across the Disneyland® Resort.

Disney’s California Food & Wine Festival includes experiences for anyone who appreciates the art of food, wine and beer. Chefs, winemakers and brewmasters will celebrate The Art of Flavor with entertaining culinary demonstrations, outstanding wine and spirits seminars, and delicious food, wine and beer. You can experience the talents of chefs Guy Fieri and Cat Cora of Food Network, along with Disney culinary masters and special guests, as they present their gastronomic talents in a full menu of complimentary demonstrations and signature paid events, such as winemaker dinners, Sweet Sundays, the Napa Rose Cooking School and Taste Food-Wine-Life – a night that celebrates the essence of the festival with a mosaic of food, wine and live entertainment.

This year, the Hollywood Pictures Backlot comes to life with artists, musicians and an international beer menu at the Brewers Collection. At the new Festival Showplace located in Stage 12, you can sample from a delicious tapas menu at the Taste of California Marketplace and relax at the new Hollywood & Wine Lounge.

Among the most popular events at the festival are live culinary demonstrations and autograph sessions with popular celebrity chefs. Along with Guy Fieri and Cat Cora, those scheduled to appear include Robert Irvine, Jeffrey Saad and Kerry Simon.

Hundreds of complimentary experiences and cooking demonstrations will entertain you during the 46-day festival, many featuring the talents of Disneyland Resort chefs. Enjoy seminars that feature outstanding wine, spirits and beer.

At the spectacular ticketed events, food and wine aficionados will collect cooking tips from chefs, mingle with noted winemakers and celebrate the palette of flavors presented by culinary masters.

Also new this year is a Brewmaster Dinner on May 7, 2010. The ingredients for this memorable evening include savory seasonal fare artfully paired with handcrafted Karl Strauss beers.

Events returning for 2010 include the gala Taste Food-Wine-Life and other popular experiences:

Taste Food-Wine-Life: This fun, high-energy evening combines the best elements of the Food & Wine Festival into one grand celebration on May 29, 2010. The immersive party will have live entertainment, an outstanding selection of wines and colorful décor. Guests will stroll from station to station sampling delectable food dishes created by the chefs of theDisneyland Resort.
Sweet Sundays: The sweetest of all events features a light buffet breakfast and sparkling toast at the new Festival Showplace in Disney’s California Adventure Park. Guests will see demonstrations and taste signature desserts created by acclaimed pastry chefs, including Richard Ruskell of Montage Beverly Hills.
Winemaker Dinners: Disneyland Resort chefs partner with premier California winemakers to prepare outstanding culinary delights at exclusive Winemaker Dinners on selected Friday nights. Each festival meal is paired with award-winning vintages and served at Steakhouse 55, inside theDisneyland Hotel.
Napa Rose Cooking School: Disney Executive Chef Andrew Sutton will once again lead this hands-on course that sells out quickly. Each class will create and enjoy a four-course meal, expertly paired with wines, and each class member will go home with a white chef’s coat embroidered with the festival logo. This rare opportunity takes place in the show kitchen of the renowned Napa Rose restaurant at Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel® & Spa. Guests must be at least 18 years old.
Introduction to Wine Tasting: In this entertaining class, Advanced Sommelier Joy Cushing introduces Guests to the joys of wine tasting. Guests will learn about wine regions, varietals, growing and harvesting techniques and then test their skills with a blind tasting.

*Some events, including culinary demonstrations, are included with admission toDisney’s California Adventure Park. Signature events are separately ticketed and require reservations; these events may require Theme Park admission.

Innovative Entertainment Technology Drives ‘World of Color’

Elaborate preparation is underway for “World of Color,” the spectacular nighttime water show that will astound guests with its magnitude and creativity when it debuts in 2010 as the next major milestone in the expansion of Disney’s California Adventure park. Surpassing all Disney water productions, “World of Color” will bring Disney animation to life with powerful fountains that become stars of the show as they create the world’s largest projected water screen.

Extensive testing of the fountains and special effects is now being conducted at Paradise Bay, where “World of Color” – a project in the making since 2004 – in nearly complete. Teams of Disney workers built nearly an acre of superstructure to support the complex production. Walt Disney Imagineering and Creative Entertainment installed the massive infrastructure and innovative technology that will create the stage for this extraordinary combination of music, animation and stunning water effects.

“World of Color” will combine hundreds of magnificent fountains, dazzling colors and an all-new kaleidoscope of audio and visual effects, to take water-infused entertainment to a new level of artistry. The production will flood the senses, taking audiences on an imaginative journey into the colorful worlds of animated Disney classics such as “Alice in Wonderland,” “The Lion King” and “Pocahontas,” along with Disney•Pixar films “Toy Story,” “WALL-E” and many more.

Disney’s newest production features an unprecedented infrastructure of water effects, larger-than-life projections, lasers, fire, fog, surround sound, and stunning images. This technical wizardry, combined with classic Disney film sequences, will create a breathtaking emotional experience for guests, as jaw-dropping effects sweep across the lagoon, soar into the sky, and rush toward the audience.

A newly designed 9,000-capacity viewing area will provide Disney’s California Adventure guests the best view in the park of this exciting nighttime extravaganza. The show lasts approximately 25 minutes.
