It was rare, I was there. Thanks for uploading, this was an important day in my lore😂

I was 6-years-old when Disney’s California Adventure Park first opened (in 2001)! :)

What is that person with a gray top and black trousers holding the odject called 8:48

People Hated Disney California Adventure Back When the Park Firstly Opened in 2001.

32:10 is one of my favorite parts

This felt more like an Olympics opening ceremony than an opening of a Disney park. Not surprising since Salt Lake City was hosting the 2002 Winter Olympics. The entire park in its early days felt more like the Olympics than a Disney park.

The actor playing Werowance/Chief Powhatan reminds me of August Schellenberg!

It really is criminal how little Disney thinks of Hercules, Pocahontas and Hunchback these days.

I wish Pocahontas didn't get the negative views it seems to get nowadays 😔. This show proves it would have made a beautiful Broadway / West End production. I wish i could have been there in the 90s when this was on. 🍂

Fun fact, Dave Goelz came in as Bunsen via backstage before other cast members continue when the duo traveled to Florida and Hong Kong. While Steve whitmire was only brought in to record exclusive dialogue for beaker

I like him he laughs funny

Hk

SHE'S NOMINATED FOR A TONY!!!

3:23 😨oh no! the background was dropped to the ground😨

This was the best parade that Disney has ever put together. Just brilliant.

4:57 does anyone know where those elephant costumes are? They need to bring them back

i am goan create new Belle ni sweden speking 😆👌🇸🇪👈 befordrad 🇺🇲👈 1992 vs 2024

I love belle and Prince Adam ❤

This show is cursed

This actually seems like it would have been a surprisingly decent revue-style show before they shoved in a cringey 'hip n' cool" fairy godmother plot

simpler times

take us all back

The Final Performance Wild Wild West Stunt Show Universal Studios Hollywood Florida/Orlando January 6th 2002-September 01st, 2003!

omg she played cassandra on tangled the series and rapunzels tangled adventure now she plays the queen of hearts on alice's wonderland bakery ( or the classic queen of hearts daughter )

I wish time travel was possible so i could travel back in time to see this historic event

They skipped the part where Pocahontas introduces John Smith to Grandmother Willow!

Thank you for posting 🥹🥹

This should have ended in 1996 and become The Hunchback of Notre Dame: A Musical Adventure and then Animazement followed by Mickey's Detective School and Snow White: An Enchanting Musical!

December 1999 the YTV The Zone subway bumpers, and also the start of Weird 2K. It was also the start of Howl’s Moving Castle on CCTV prime time.

This would have been so cool to see!

The end result, people hated this park because it was so small. Thankfully, a decade later it was fixed and has the same love as the other park next door

This should have also been at Fantasyland Theatre in Disneyland California in 1996 after The Spirit of Pocahontas!

Ii was SO FORTUNATE to see this astounding version of "Steps in Time" on January 19th, 2001 in person at the Hyperion Theater in DCA on a special preview day. I have NEVER seen any musical act at Disneyland Resort that could even come close to the opening Snow White number in this show! The music and talented singer , combined with the costuming (and hair, clothes styled to the 1930's), and the phenomenal set with the seven dwarves cells that dropped down (each with a "ker-chunk" sound) that ended up filling the entire background of the set, then Snow Whites dress reveals 3 scenes from the movie. All combined was completely AMAZING and ASTOUNDING!!! Several other songs in this version were remarkable, as well, athought opening was definitely the highlight. Other notable segments have to include The Beauty and the Beast Trio as a candelabra, what amazing vocalists!!!!! And the solo performance of the song from Hercules! A Whole New World also has amazing vocalists WOW again, however they should have had some special set piece for that song. My complaint about the show, was , you didn't know what to expect for the next number. Going from Snow White to Jungle Book was just too jarring. They really should have taken a hint from the show title "Steps in Time" and just just take it a step at a time, from decade to decade. Instead of jumping all around. I did like the Jungle Book Segment coreography was good, although the costuming was a disaster for the portion of the show. and the Hakuna Matata segment choreography and costume was good too. They just needed to be set in the right sequence. The biggest failure of the of the show was under the sea, horrible costumes and awful choreography.

All this malarkey for a mediocre theme park that still has an identity crisis going on. lol

Dinesyland good place dream Alice ✨ we love you mickey mouse

Time: 9:54 POV: Xehanort Entering to Take Advantage of the Darkness within Lady Tremaine and Her Girls... XD (Kingdom Hearts be like)

The show closed in 1997 and in 2004 it became Snow White: An Enchanting Musical.

I wasn't even born yet lol

29:53 Did you see that child petting that camel? I wish all kids were like her and they don't ever change when they grow.

Finally an actual video of the opening and not just the TV special!

2:35 Gazeem gets devoured

Wow i love it cinderella is my favorite disney princess of all time this is like a stage adaptation of cinderella 3 a twist in time

14:13-14:38 He maybe late but he improvised

This level of talent and music is just unparalleled in the parks these days

Omgosh the actress playing Ariel sounds exactly like Jodi Benson!

Excellent performance by Nick Santa Maria as the genie. The whole cast was really good! I really enjoy watching this version here on You Tube!! Although I would of loved to see this particular version performed live, this was the next best thing. Thank you for posting this here VMI Presents.
