Disneyland's California Adventure

Disneyland's California Adventure. This park is one of my favorites! I love entering into this park and hearing the 40s-50s music, and of course, smelling Starbucks. California Adventure is a good mix of Hollywood Studios and Epcot. You walk in on Buena Vista Street and enter into what seems like a little square with all the streets to get to where you want to go. There is Hollywood Land, Avengers Campus, Grizzly Peak, Paradise Gardens Park, Pacific Wharf, Pixar Pier, and Cars Land.

I loved Hollywood land, it has all the shopping, and one store I really enjoyed was called Off the Page. It has some of the most detailed Disney art I've ever seen. I felt like I could have stayed in there all day looking at everything that was presented. This store also connects you to Animation Academy, this is a fun and free activity you can do. You learn how to drawl Disney characters. In Hollywood Land you can also find Monsters, Inc. Mike and Sulley to the Rescue ride. This ride is adorable and I enjoyed it.

Avengers Campus. The number one ride is Guardians of the Galaxy-Mission: BREAKOUT! Web Slingers Adventure is the new ride, I did not wait in line for that ride. I heard it was not great, but if the wait time is low, definitely do it!

Avengers Campus was cool, because they have shows every half hour almost. I enjoyed watching all they provided in just that one area. It was so neat!

Cars Land. Radiator Springs Racers is the main attraction in this area and it stays busy!! I would almost consider rope dropping for this ride in the mornings. Cars Land is so immersive. They even have a Lightening Mcqueen car that drives around and talks. How cool is that? I also enjoyed eating at Flo;s V8 Cafe. It was quick and easy!

Pixar Pier. Pixar Pier is the main reason I love Disneyland's California Adventure so much!

The Incredicoaster!!!! Seriously, one of my top favorite rides I've ever been on! I have never had so much fun on a roller coaster and we did this multiple times in a row. For some reason the wait time was always between 10-20min...so why not go back to back? It was a blast!!! Pixar Pier is also just an exciting place to hang out. They have food stands, shopping, smaller rides for younger kids. You may can spend almost half a day just seeing all there is to offer on this side of the park.

Next, we ventured over to Grizzly Peak. And yes, we rode the water ride. The water rides are Robby's favorite. He loves it and it brings out pure joy in him. I have never seen him laugh as much as he does on rides like Grizzly River Run. It is fun! Thankfully, I did not get as wet on this one as we did on the ride in Universal. I do believe they change the intensity of how wet you get on this attraction during the summer/winter seasons. We were there in December, so I feel like we made it out without getting soaked from head to toe.

That is my overall view of Disneyland's California Adventure. My next blog will be on how we made the most of one day in Disneyland's California Adventure AND Disneyland. It's doable, and I want to share what it looked like for us during a peak season, which was Christmas time when we visited.

Thank you for reading! Let me know in the comments what your favorite ride is, in Disneyland's California Adventure!
