Fantasmic Glow with the Show

‘Glow with the Show’ Coming to Walt Disney World® Resort

Glow with the Show EarsThe Walt Disney World® Resort has announced that “Glow with the Show,” an innovative technology that has been in use for over a year now at Disneyland® Resort, will soon be available in its East Coast parks.

These interactive ear hats will make their debut at Disney’s Hollywood Studios® on Oct. 15th, 2013 – on the 15th anniversary of their nighttime spectacular, Fantasmic!. The ears will magically sync with the show and change color based off of events happening in the production, bringing the spirit of the show right into the audience. But the fun doesn’t stop with Fantasmic!. Other implementations of the technology include:

  • On Oct. 19, “Glow with the Show” ear hats will start interacting with Wishes fireworks show and the Celebrate the Magic projection show on Cinderella Castle at Magic Kingdom® Park
  • Interaction this holiday with The Osborne Family Spectacle of Dancing Lights and Holiday Wishes: Celebrate the Spirit of the Season fireworks spectacular
  • “Hidden” interaction outside of shows – like when two sets of ears come close to each other and near special locations around the Walt Disney World® Resort.

“Glow with the Show” ears will be available at select merchandise locations for $25. For more information, please ask your Magic Maker®.

Wondering how they work? Get a little geeky with us as Chuck Davis, Principle Technical Director of World of Color at Disney California Adventure® Park, explains a little bit about the technology and MAGIC behind the “Glow with the Show” Ears.

‘Glow with the Show’ Expanded To Disneyland® Park

As we reported back in July, guests at the Disneyland® Resort have been lighting up the night with the help of their “Glow with the Show” Ears at Disney California Adventure® Park.

Now, Disney Imagineers have expanded that technology to include the Fantasmic! Show inside Disneyland® Park. This change brings a extra splash of color to the Rivers of America area during the nighttime spectacular. Using infrared trigger technology, the colors in the Ears sync up with the scenes of the show.

“Glow with the Show” Ears can be purchased at many retail locations throughout the Disneyland® Resort.
