‘Disneyland Forever’ premieres – New fireworks show celebrates 60 years

See full gallery on TechnoBuffalo

Disneyland celebrates its Diamond Celebration 60th anniversary this year and it kicks of today, May 22 with a 24 hour party. A new fireworks show, Disneyland Forever, caps off every fun filled night at Disneyland. For your money, it is hard to beat a Disney fireworks extravaganza. Each pyrotechnic shell and lighting effect is perfectly calibrated in sync with a colorful, emotion-filled soundtrack. Disneyland Forever certainly fits that mold but also breaks precedent with this show.

Of course Sleeping Beauty Castle is the center showcase of the fireworks show, though you can find different and even more stunning views across other locations including “it’s a small world”, Rivers of America and down Main Street, U.S.A. Each of these locations are blanketed with dozens of projectors, lasers, inflatables and spotlights. What’s really neat about these projectors and lasers is that they change the environment around you. They take you to Anaheim, California back before Disneyland when it was just orange groves, then it takes you to London with Mary Poppins, an African savanna with the Lion King or The Jungle Book. Which is exactly what the creators of this fireworks show wanted.

Steve Davison, executive producer and Sayre Wiseman, executive for parades & spectaculars for Walt Disney Imagineering Creative Entertainment both echo that technology is great but it means nothing if its not “Magic.” Instead of guests figuring out, “oh that’s how it works” or “look there is a display, some lights and other gadgets” but rather the feeling of imagination and magic making you feel like you are in those worlds of Disney storytelling. It’s like walking in to a VR world.

Something that we echo here at TechnoBuffalo is no matter how spectacular technology is, it doesn’t matter if you can’t use it or appreciate it. That’s just as important when it comes to telling stories.

Which is why people will really like Disneyland Forever. While you will traverse through those worlds we mentioned about along with Winnie the Pooh, the Little Mermaid, Frozen and more, it will just feel like magic. In fact during this particular performance of Disneyland Forever I saw more than a fair share of adults shedding tears. I won’t say during when or why, I won’t spoil it for you. You’ll need to make the trek to Disneyland park during the Diamond Celebration to see just how amazing this fireworks display is.

Disneyland Forever will run through the 60th Anniversary celebration, though we haven’t been told how long that will last. But at any rate, Disneyland is fun, just look at these knuckleheads on a recent office trip to Disneyland.

Also don’t forget Disney is holding the Disneyland Diamond Days sweepstakes, which include actual one- and two-carat diamonds, priority access to select attractions, private parties at Disneyland, an overnight stay inside Disneyland Park and whole bunch of other really cool prizes. To enter head over to http://ift.tt/1DFfJsX beginning May 22. Good luck!

Exec behind “Next Big Thing” campaign has departed Samsung

Samsung Mobile CMO, Todd Pendleton, has reportedly departed the company, according to CNET . Pendleton is credited with creating Samsung’s famous “Next Big Thing” campaign, which took aim at the company’s rivals while highlighting the benefits of its own mobile lineup. The ads were smart, terse, and ultimately helped raise the awareness of Samsung’s brand as a major smartphone maker here in the U.S. It’s unclear why Pendleton left, but it’s being reported that Samsung executives became dissatisfied with the campaign’s recent success, even going so far as auditing the mobile division’s Dallas headquarters. It seems you can only use the Next Big Thing tagline so many times; the commercials have taken a decidedly different turn over the past few months, focusing on design, functionality and features rather than bashing Samsung competitors. The timing, I suppose, seems appropriate given that Samsung has just unveiled two new flagships, the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge. Samsung is clearly

You can now control PowerPoint for iPhone with your Apple Watch

Want to master the CMO role?  Join us for GrowthBeat Summit on June 1-2 in Boston , where we'll discuss how to merge creativity with technology to drive growth. Space is limited and we're limiting attendance to CMOs and top marketing execs. Request your personal invitation here ! Microsoft today updated its PowerPoint for iOS app with a rather bizarre update: remote Apple Watch support. You can download the new version now directly from Apple’s App Store . We say this addition is “bizarre” because, well, why would anyone want to control PowerPoint on their iPhone from their Apple Watch? This PowerPoint app also works on the iPad , and we would argue it makes more sense to control a presentation on your tablet from your wrist than one that is on your smartphone. Here is the changelog so you can try to make sense of it yourself: PowerPoint Remote for Apple Watch: control your slide show on iPhone with a beautifully simple app. Start your slide show and easily navigate to

Pirate Bay co-founder won’t be playing NES in his jail cell

Fredrik Neij, a co-founder of The Pirate Bay, the massive torrent site, was arrested last year for copyright infringement. That’s okay, though. He knew how he was going to spend his free time. Really, it’s not too different from what most gamers might as for: Nintendo. All day, every day. Unfortunately for Neij, prison authorities had some issues with the request. It’s not that video games are against the rules in Swedish prisons, though. That’s actually not too uncommon. To get a piece of hardware into the prison, though, it needs to be opened up so that it can be checked for contraband items (let’s just assume Nintendo-themed shivs) hidden inside. With a DVD player or something like that, it’s not too tough, but the NES uses special security screws to prevent people from tampering with the system or getting at the hardware for piracy purposes. For this reason, the Swedish authorities chose to deny his request. Their explanation is that getting into the console without destroying i
