Disneyland had previously shared how this new World of Color show will be hosted by Joy and the other Emotions from Inside Out and Inside Out 2 in a show that will “explore ‘happy' through a kaleidoscope of emotions.” The show is inspired by Walt Disney's famous opening day words, “To all who come to this happy place… welcome!” See the concept artwork that was previously shared above.

The show will feature music and moments from other Disney Pixar stories as well, including Turning Red and The Incredibles, as well as Walt Disney Animation Studios’ stories including A Goofy Movie, Tangled, Encanto, and more.

The show is described as an “interactive joyride where guests are encouraged to dance and sing along.” It will feature classic Disney songs as well as a rendition of “Rainbow Connection” by Boyz II Men and an original song for World of Color called “Makes Me Wanna Move” by FITZ.
