You can see Glisten! during Jollywood Nights at 8:15 PM, 9:15 PM, 10:30 PM, 11:15 PM, and 12:15 AM.
Quincy thought this was a must-see! The dancers were very talented and it won’t take up too much of your time. You don’t need to take time to stake out a good spot either as there is a good view from almost anywhere. The projections on the theater behind them made a beautiful backdrop. We would watch this again!
Pixar Place Dance Party
Pixar Place is also getting a new addition this year. Pixar Place is hosting a rockin’ dance party with some of your favorite Pixar friends including Joy, Frozone, and Edna Mode. We headed over to Pixar Place to check out the party!
Echo Lake Throwback Bash
There is also a throwback bash that happens over at Echo Lake where you can stir up nostalgia for the 1990s and 2000s. You never know who you might spot during the bash from Phineas and Ferb to Max Goof as Powerline. Plus, there are some new additions this year including Baloo and King Louie!

We thought this was such a special show! We thought this was nostalgic and a lightheartedness to this show. We felt like this show had everything comedy, love, and joy. The lead singers were very talented. This is a MUST Do according to Sage.
