The Disney California Adventures theme park is just next to the Disneyland California Park.  The entrances are within walking distance to each other.

 

 

The theme park was designed to include California’s famous landmarks in Disney style with areas such as Buena Vista Street, Paradise Pier, Grizzly Peak, Pacific Wharf,  and Hollywood land.

There was a replica of the Golden Gate Bridge.

There were also Victorian houses like those in San Francisco.

 

The popular rides at Disney California Adventures include the roller coaster, and the ferris wheel.

 

My son’s favourite ride was the Grizzly’s River Run.

 

 

There were also Bugs Land and Cars Land from the Disney movies “A Bug’s Life” and “Cars” respectively.  We also saw other characters from various Disney movies including Toy Story.

 

My daughter especially liked the Playhouse Disney live show.

 

 

Ontario Mills Outlet Shopping

Ontario Mills is one of the popular factory outlet shopping in LA.  We left Disney California Adventures Park early to go shopping at Ontario Mills.

 

NEXT DAY: Drive about 5 hours from Anaheim to Yosemite National Park
