Disney California Adventure Park !!
Disney California Adventure is the second theme park built in the Disneyland Resort. It was opened in 8th February 2001( just 12 years ago).

After we went in the theme park, we saw Chip n Dale but too bad that it was time for them to change shift.
However lucky for us, they changed shift with Goofy! hehe
Pluto was there too!
 |
| Pluto was able to give a signature..lol |
Another statue of Walt Disney and Mickey Mouse.
I think this theme park is as big as Disneyland Park, we couldn't finish all the rides in the park within one day. So in the end we have to give up on some of the ride.
Hollywood Land
The first attraction we encountered was Muppet*Vision 3D.
For me it was quite boring since I'm not very familiar with the Muppet except for the 3D effect which was quite amazing.
Then just next to it was Monsters Inc. Mike & Sulley to the Rescue!

After the ride, we saw Sulley outside waiting to take photo!

 |
| Ready to fight pose! Ip Man ??!! |
 |
| too bad photo and video taking are prohibited |
After Hollywood land, we entered "a bug's land".
In "a bug's land," you can "shrink" to the size of the land's inhabitants so that you can see things from their point of view.
A food boxes become a flying vehicles.
There also have a 1:1 figure of the characters.

The Cars Land was built exactly the same as Route 66 in the Pixar's film Cars. It was just opened to public on 15th June 2012. We were so lucky that we came after it opened, that was why that part was the most crowded in the whole park.
The fire truck Red was outside the land.
If you have watched the movie Cars,you'll find out these places were very familiar. Because they were exactly the same in the movie.
The most famous ride is this. It was so crowded that we have to wait for 2 hours for this ride. In the end we gave up to save the time for other rides.
There were also 1:1 figure ( I think is actually a real car ) of Lightning Mcqueen and Mater
They even can speak!!
 |
| The kid was shocked when Mater suddenly spoke to him..lol |
There is a big marry go round- Mickey's Fun Wheel with a big Mickey's face on it.
There also have a roller coaster- California Screamin' which is the scariest coaster I had so far.
We saw Donald Duck at there!
 |
| Can't miss the chance to take autograph from him |
Woody was there too.
Buzz was rushing to get ready for the parade, but he still did a nice pose for us. haha
Around 5pm there was the Pixar Play Parade where the Disney Pixar's movie characters came to meet us.
The Incredibles
Finding Nemo
a bug's life
Toy Story
The parade end with Mater
After the parade we went to the Games of the Boardwalk to play some games. A time to relax and rest.
My friend played this game called Bullseye Stallion Stampede.
The rule is simple. Just have to roll the balls into the hole which state slow, normal,and fast and see whose horse reach the finish line first.
After we had our dinner the sky had turn dark. We went back to Paradise Pier to find a good spot to view the final show of the day - World of Color
Before 8.30pm there was already a lot of people standing by to watch the show.
 |
| The colorful light ear on the visitors' head was actually part of the show too |
Mickey's wind wheel was very colorful. The color of the light keep changing.
At 9pm the show start!
It was an AMAZING show!!! I sang along when they played the classic Disney songs. I told my friends that when I go back home I wanna watch all the Disney cartoons again!
These 2 days were my happiest and most enjoyable days during the whole US trip. It really recalled back my childhood memory. I told myself someday I will bring my kids to there again!
I really miss DISNEYLAND!!!
