  This location is a must-visit for children and families. It is extremely well-organized, and the employees are highly trained and very informative. Feel free to ask them any questions about the park, and they will be able to provide the answers. Even towards the end of August, despite the heat, all the employees maintained a pleasant demeanor. The park offered numerous dining options and sold refreshments and food, which were priced higher, similar to other attractions.Despite this, each store was instructed to offer complimentary drinking water to all visitors. This action by Disney is particularly noteworthy. We commend them for this. Every show and ride is meticulously planned for all ages to enjoy. The Disney land app is a savior. From maps to show times to reservations to dining orders. Over all this is definitely rightly a magical place for kids. Stand outs: friendly staff, well organized handling of crowd, well staged and choreographed rides for all ages, plenty of frequent shuttles fromand to the parking lots, fireworks and mickey magical show end the day perfectly. Areas for improvement: No place to charge your phones(if you don't have your battery packs good luck), even in August heat mono rail is shut down throughout the day due to heat, lack of more vegetarian food options, random closures of attractions, no internal train or shuttle rides to hop on or off.

  Overall, a fun and enjoyable experience for the whole family :-) my family, a party of six, went for Oogie boogie bash. Disneyland offers a half-day event where you pay approximately $200 to enter the park at 3 PM instead of at opening. From 3 to 6 you get to roam the park, ride the ride and eat the food. After 6 PM the park opens up to a trick-or-treating event throughout the park. You’re able to collect candy and enjoy the park after dark, to include fireworks. One major improvement that the park needs is to get their liquor license. The only refreshing adult beverages available or water down Soju and wine mixers. They offer piña colada’s, but it’s made with Fanta coconut soda. There’s no hard alcohol in the park. Disneyland should figure out a way to allow adults. Tasty beverages without becoming intoxicated. For example, a wristband that would allow you to have two beverages during your stay. Two beverages that are of alcoholic content quality. We went to California adventure versus Disneyland. It was very hot the day that we went, so Mr. throughout the park would have been nice. It’s understandable that they didn’t as California has. It’s drought issues. I appreciate that they only offered limited entry so that the park was not crowded. The food choices weren’t that great. We went to the Japanese food establishment in Tokyo land. The food was mediocre and of course expensive. I feel dizzy should and could do a better job of offering higher quality, food, versus reheated food. Have an established nice restaurant for guest to attend.

  Fui al oogie boggie bash empieza a las 6 pm pero puedes entrar desde las 3 pm, lo malo de eso es que se concentra mucha gente y los tiempo de espera suben demasiado aún con pase rápido, después de las 6 ya bajan demasiado los tiempos, en los mundos, zonas puedes pasar a pedir dulces en la bolsa que dan, es como un mini recorrido y tienen a personajes villanos, también hay fotógrafos en varios puntos del parque donde pueden tomarte fotos, al final te escanean tu pulsera que te ponen y las suben a la app para que ahí las veas y descargues, es fácil rápido y no tiene costo, hay unos juegos como el de Ariel que está muy viejo y descuidado, se paró como dos veces, el de toy story igual tiene varias fallas, el de cars radiador springs igual, los carros no llegaban, el de intensamente igual lo detuvieron, deberían darle mantenimiento, de ahí en fuera todo cool, si recomiendo ir al festival, lo que si es que deberían dejar de vender bebidas con alcohol o limitarla, vi a un grupo de personas tomadas y empujándose, puede ocasionar problemas y hay gente que va con niños

  As Walt Disney World Annual Passholders from Florida, my mom and I were excited to experience Disney California Adventure for the first time. Our favorite part by FAR was Cars Land. It is incredibly well done, and Radiator Springs Racers was easily our favorite ride between both California parks. We loved it so much that we rode it multiple times! We also tried the mac and cheese bread cone from Cozy Cone Motel, which was delicious. Unfortunately, the Incredicoaster was down during our visit, which was disappointing. Outside of Cars Land, though, California Adventure was honestly a little underwhelming for us. There are some fun rides, but it felt like the park was lacking additional experiences, especially for adults. One thing I think Disney could really improve on is more substantial live shows. Disney has incredible performers, production capabilities, music, costumes, and storytelling, and I would LOVE to see more 45-minute to hour-long theatrical productions included with park admission. Not every adult wants to spend the entire day going from ride to ride, and having a few high-quality shows would add so much variety. We were there on a Sunday during D23 weekend and crowds were surprisingly manageable. With Lightning Lane, we barely waited for anything, the weather was fantastic compared with Florida, and it was much easier to move around the park than what we’re accustomed to at Disney World. Overall, Cars Land is absolutely worth experiencing, but the rest of California Adventure was more of a one-and-done for us.

  This was our first time at Disneyland with kids and we had the summer evening pass. We planned 10 rides in total to cover between 6 and 10 pm. We had our list ready a day before based on the height requirement (42”), and our plan was to just run and wait instead of searching where to go next. It was too crowded even for a weekday. We covered everything except two — Mike & Sulley had a power outage right when it was our turn to get on the ride, so unfortunate! The other one we missed was Radiator Springs (70min wait). We covered the rest. Disney is a very well-maintained place — we enjoyed a lot! I’ve put up the list of rides in order to guide the trip. The rides below are mostly for kids and toddlers — they are slow and toddler-friendly." Disney Rides for Kids (Height 40"-42" Min) Monsters, Inc. Mike & Sulley to the Rescue! - Any height - Kinder and Kids Radiator Springs Racers - 40" Min - Kinder and Kids Mater's Junkyard Jamboree - 38" Min - Kinder and Kids Jessie's Critter Carousel - Any Height - Kinder and Kids Pixar Pal-A-Round – Non-Swinging - Any height - Kinder and Kids Toy Story Midway Mania! - Any height - Kinder and Kids Jumpin' Jellyfish -40" - Kinder and Kids Golden Zephyr - Any Height - Kinder and Kids Goofy's Sky School - 42" Min - Kinder and Kids The Little Mermaid ~ Ariel's Undersea Adventure - Any Height - Kinder and Kids Soarin’ Across America - 40" Min - Kinder and Kids
