Glow with the Show

‘Glow with the Show’ Coming to Walt Disney Worldยฎ Resort

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

These interactive ear hats will make their debut at Disney’s Hollywood Studiosยฎ 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 showย and the Celebrate the Magic projection show on Cinderella Castle at Magic Kingdomยฎ Park
  • Interaction this holiday with The Osborne Family Spectacle of Dancing Lightsย 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 Worldยฎ Resort.

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

Wondering how they work? Get a little geeky with us as Chuck Davis, Principle Technical Director of World of Color at Disney California Adventureยฎ Park, explains a little bit about the technology and MAGIC behind the โ€œGlow with the Showโ€ Ears.

‘Glow with the Show’ Expanded To Disneylandยฎ Park

As we reported back in July, guests at the Disneylandยฎย Resortย have been lighting up the night with the help of their “Glow with the Show” Ears atย Disney California Adventureยฎย Park.

Now, Disney Imagineers have expanded that technology to include theย Fantasmic! Show insideย Disneylandยฎ 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 theย Disneylandยฎย Resort.

As they say, “the show must GLOW on!” Ok, maybe that isn’t how the saying goes… But, nowย guests of the Disneylandยฎย Resortย can light the night thanks to new Glow with the Showย Mickey ear hats that change colors in sync with shows atย Disney California Adventureยฎ Park.

These new hats feature iridescent lights that change to compliment the imagery and beat of the World of Color and Mad T Party shows. The fun doesn’t stop at the shows though. When not activated by one of the shows, the ears glow with other settings magically placed aroundย Disney California Adventureยฎ Park. Outside of the park, the ears will put on a show of their own!

Glow with the Show Ears are available at select locations insideย Disney California Adventureยฎ Park for $25. Walt Disney Imagineering is currently looking at opportunities to expand theย programmedย Glow with the Showย interaction intoย Disneylandยฎ Park.
