Growing up in California I remember my family trips to Disneyland at a time when tickets corresponded to first five letters of alphabet. The most treasured tickets among these were E-Tickets, which we used to ride Space Mountain and Haunted Mansion . To mark Southern California's Disneyland 's 50th anniversary, Walt Disney World kicked off "The Happiest Celebration on Earth" in grand style at Disney theme parks around world.

Our family is on hand to witness anniversary preparations at Disney Parks in Florida , featuring several unique shows and attractions from around world. We like to stay close to attractions at Downtown Disney, yet away from traffic. The spacious Comfort Inn in Lake Buena Vista, Florida , is less than two miles from Downtown Disney, and within walking distance to restaurants and shops. Amenities include continental breakfast at their onsite restaurant, a bar, game room, sparkling pools, and free transportation to Disney Parks.

KA, which translates to fire in Japanese and signifies spiritual duality in Egyptian mythology, is story of twins, a boy and a girl, who as youngsters are kidnapped and separated from each other and their family. The show engages a series of epic challenges that these young royals must endure in order to reunite.

A dark, dazzling gothic tone is established moment one enters sprawling 1951 seat theater. Smoke accompanied by blasts of fire light up stage while nimble Ninjas dart and swing from multi-tiered catwalks over and around audience. These characters are primal in their ominous quest. The show begins when an old Asian man with a long, thin red beard makes his entrance. The Ninjas are his warriors and their dark message has already been planted in viewer’s mind.

Breaking new theatrical ground there is no stage as we know it. Instead, there are numerous platforms, sets and incredible technology that enable performers to use vertical as well as horizontal space. A platform carrying royal family and court seems to float forward from back of stage. The evil warriors appear, separating twins from each other and their parents. Sets transform from a stage to a ship caught in a storm. Utilizing abyss on either side of stage, characters are tossed overboard and appear to be swallowed up by roiling ocean water.

Creator and director Robert Lepage describes KA experience by saying, “People will have impression they’re within some kind of cinematic event — but actually everything is interactive, everything’s happening at moment.”
