About This Place
Sitting just steps from the original Disneyland park, Disney California Adventure opened in 2001 as a love letter to the Golden State itself. The park celebrates the spirit, landscape, and culture of California from its sun-soaked coastlines and towering redwoods to its rich movie-making legacy and agricultural heritage.
Over the years, Disney California Adventure has undergone a remarkable transformation, evolving into a world-class destination in its own right. Today it's home to some of the most immersive and thrilling experiences in any Disney park anywhere in the world.
Thrills & Immersive Worlds
Guests looking for bigger thrills will find plenty to love here. Guardians of the Galaxy, Mission: BREAKOUT! delivers a high-energy drop tower experience unlike anything else in the resort, while Incredicoaster rockets guests through the world of the Incredibles at top speed. For those seeking full immersion, Avengers Campus brings the Marvel universe to life with jaw-dropping attractions, live action hero encounters, and an energy that feels genuinely electric.
Something for Everyone
Despite its reputation for bigger attractions, California Adventure is far from just a thrill-seeker's park. Buena Vista Street welcomes guests with a nostalgic recreation of 1920s Los Angeles, the city Walt Disney first arrived in as a young dreamer. Cars Land offers one of Disney's most stunningly realized themed environments, with Radiator Springs Racers consistently ranking among the best rides at any Disney resort worldwide.
Families with younger guests will find plenty of fun in the whimsical worlds of Pixar Pier, where classic Pixar stories come to life in colorful, joyful attractions perfect for all ages.
Don't Miss
World of Color, the park's signature nighttime spectacular, transforms the lagoon into a breathtaking display of water, light, fire, and music, a fitting finale to any day spent exploring California Adventure.
