Disney's LuminAria was a 2001–2002 fireworks show on Paradise Bay at Disney California Adventure at the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, California.[1] The show was short-lived, lasting only one winter season. The show design was similar to IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth at EPCOT focusing the audience towards Paradise Bay while fountains played in various changing patterns and fireworks were discharged in sync with seasonal music.
