Exploring Disney California Adventure
Yes, experience all of the wonder and excitement of Disneyland, but remember to save time to explore Disney California Adventure. Inspired by the California of yesterday, once inside guests can ride the red car trolley before hitting one of the numerous white knuckled roller coasters spread throughout the park. Are you ready to ride… because many of the attractions throughout California Adventure are tailor-made for grown-ups. Seriously.
A few of the must-experience rides and attractions within Disney California Adventure? California Screamin’ is the park’s surprisingly smooth looping steel coaster that is regularly pegged as one of the best rollercoasters around. The Silly Symphony Swings are anything but your traditional ‘wave swinger’ offering an incredible view of the Paradise Pier. When you’re ready for a serious thrill try the Twilight Zone-inspired Tower Of Terror – a bone-jarring 10-story plunge —that will have you laughing and screaming simultaneously. [Editor’s recommendation: Amp up the fun on the Tower Of Terror and save this experience for the evening.]
Like the Disneyland environment… when you’re ready for a break, many of the quick-service locations have tables and chairs to sit and eat at, or you can opt for something a little more grown up. The Carthay Circle Restaurant (located on the second floor of the iconic reproduction of the Carthay Circle Theatre) is a luxurious space that takes guests back to Hollywood’s Golden Age. The award-winning restaurant features a diverse menu filled with rich, succulent creations.
Depending on the day you go, finish off your Disney experience at Disney California Adventure by heading over to Paradise Bay for impressive World of Color show. It’s the ultimate nighttime extravaganza of light, water and projections that is set to every memorable Disney tune. The Disney California Adventure spectacle never fails to delight.
