We visited Disney California Adventure at the Disneyland Resort on Wednesday October 1 as part of our California Dreamin' Tour.
We started our day at Paradise Pier with a ride on the interactive 4D attraction Toy Story Mania! followed by the launched roller coaster California Screamin'.
Next we braved the Grizzly River Run rapids and explored the Redwood Creek Challenge Trail in Grizzly Peak, followed by a great flight on Soarin' Over California in the nearby Condor Flats.
A short ride down Hollywood Boulevard on the Red Car Trolley and we arrived in the heart for Hollywood Land outside The Hollywood Tower Hotel to enter The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror drop ride.
We passed through A Bug's Land which has a variety of children's rides and attractions such as It's Tough to Be a Bug! in 3D, the Heimlich Chew Chew Train and Flik's Flyers. We love the illusion that you have shrunk down to the size of an insect as you wander beneath the canopy of leaves and plants.
One of the absolute highlights of Disney California Adventure is the incredible Cars Land with Radiator Springs Racers, Mater's Junkyard Jamboree and Luigi's Flying Tires.
There are a couple of charming dark rides, The Little Mermaid ~ Ariel's Undersea Adventure and Monsters, Inc. Mike & Sulley to the Rescue! elsewhere in the park.
At the end of the day we returned to Paradise Bay for the World of Color nighttime spectacular featuring water fountains, screens, smoke, lasers and fire accompanied by a fun soundtrack of Disney classics.
