California Adventure is where buying the 2-day pass really comes into play. CA Adventure and Disneyland share the same land, and are divided literally with a sidewalk. If you go right, you are in Disneyland, and if you go left, you are in CA Adventure.
California Adventure has more of a theme park feel, and is geared more towards adults, but there are plenty of attractions for kids as well. CA Adventure has attractions like rollercoasters, a ferris wheel, and the swings. CA Adventure also has more theatricals, such as 3-D movies and an attraction called Soarin' Over California. I was ready to ride!
California Adventure has what is called a fast pass, which is available for an additional price. This fast pass allows you to bypass the line and head straight for the front! The pass comes in handy on such rides as California Screamin', a rollercoaster set to music!
Soarin' Over California was the hilight of my day at California Adventure. When you enter this ride, it seems like you are entering a movie theater, with a huge screen in front of you. You are guided to your seats, which are on different levels, and eventually elevate and pivot you off the ground so there is no one in front of you. Eventually the screen comes alives and you are watching a short movie on all California has to offer. Not only that, but the way you are seated has you feel like you are the pilot of a plane, flying low over the CA land. The cool thing about this is when there is movement on the screen, your seat moves as well. You are taken over the snow-capped mountains in Northern California to San Fransisco, to Napa Valley, to L.A. to San Diego, and many points in between.
The 3-D movies are cool as well. We went to several, but the "A Bug's Life" production was exceptional. The concept of a 3-D movie really isn't that difficult to grasp, so I'll leave this up to the imagination.
In a section of California Adventure, there is even a mini-Hollywood, including several mini movie sets. If you are lucky, you might even catch a production of a mini disaster.
Tips on California Adventure:
-Tips on CA Adventure are similar to that of Disneyland. One tip that is different, but applies to both parks is this: go on a week day to avoid long lines, families, and park enthusiasts.
