We had a fantastic time here and the kids (12, 10, 8) preferred this side of the park to the other. Much better layout and easier to navigate your way around than Disneyland. Seems to handle the crowds better. The rides are fantastic. Tip. We joined the single rider queues whenever possible and hardly ever had more than a 5... More

I have lived in so california for 40+ years. I have gone to Disneyland since I was a young child. I had never been to California Adventure until this last weekend. It was fun, there were some good rides but it does not have the magic of Disneyland. Also, it costs the same amount but it much smaller and fewer... More

It has a fresh theme modern rides and fun, even though lines can be long. Liked the new rides and theme did not like the lines.

This park had less issues with rides breaking down. Lots of space so you don't feel as though you are sitting on laps of strangers when you need some down time. Loved that you didn't have to go through security when park hopping. Well kept and Disney friendliness abound.

Kids had a great time. For us adults we had a good time too going on some of the rides with the kids. Food and snacks are a bit expensive, however the experience overshadowed the cost.

Our family of 5, 2 parents, 2 teens aged 16 & 19 girls & 1 10yo boy travelled to Anaheim for the first time this month. We visited Disney's California Adventure. We went on every ride that was there. It is more for the teens than the little ones. World of Colour was fantastic. I believe it is shown every... More

With the addition of the new Cars Land area, Disney's California Adventures Park is a fun-filled place to hang out. The new Cars Land is a detail-oriented take on the movie and my children and I enjoyed exploring the streets. Be prepared to wait in a long lineup to get on Radiator Springs. We had an early entry into the... More

This is an awesome Park! The rides are so much fun and the whole place feels like one giant carnival! CARS LAND is amazing and you feel like you are on the movie set. We loved everything about it! As others have said, if you don't have a Fast Pass for Radiator Springs Racers within 2 hours of the Park... More

The lines were pretty fast this time of year and it was great to get on and off rides with little to no wait; however, the line for the Fast Pass to get on the new Cars racing ride was rediculous. They run out of fast passes quickly so if you are not there when the park opens be prepared... More

In my opinion, California Adventure is the better of the two parks! There are more than enough rides for one day, but the lines are quite long! I think we waited over 1.5 hours of the Cars ride. The musical (Aladdin at the time we visited) was a stunning performance, as was the World of Color!
