This is a great family park, with a bit more focus for older kids and teens. I know it started out decades ago as celebrating different areas of California, but it is now more of an outgrowth of Disneyland with more "lands" that are focused on movies. The new Avengers Campus had our favorite ride of the day, Guardians of the Galaxy, and some pretty decent park food at Pym's Test Kitchen. Lines are long but well hidden, so bring good shoes and some way to entertain yourselves while waiting (unless you have the financial ability to buy Genie+ and get lightning passes to get in the short lines). Kids of 14, 12, and 9 were well entertained all day. Smaller kids likely have more focused on them at Disneyland, but there are plenty of smaller kid rides here too. Try to avoid the big days on holiday weekends, etc., when they do surge pricing. We ended up getting here on Thursday, November 9, and it would have cost us almost twice as much to have gone on Friday, November 10, due to the holiday.

We didn't get a full day in the park due to going for Oogy Boogy bash on Halloween itself but it was still good. As always the parks were amazing and so were the rides. Having the extra treat trails to go through did take away from exploring the park but it was still good but felt a bit rushed. Earliest we got in was 3pm and the event started at 6. Did see the new areas like Sanfrantokyo and avengers campus and those were so cool. Nothing negative to say about it.

I’ve been several dozen times… but new for me … Star Wars - nice recreation of the expo planets and the Star Wars worlds. You can meet Chew and Mando and the baby Grogu walking around. The rides are great for the video game and younger generations, but enjoyable for the geezers like me. Continuing on new for me: Winnie the Pooh, simple ride but excellently done. California Adventure Park: the IncrediCoaster is indeed that. If you go and just ride it, admission is worth it. Roller Coaster technology has advanced to incredible levels. Pixar ride is cute, and well done. As I remembered, food still mediocre. Parking and entering the park has been improved from what I remember. Disney does a good job keeping everyone entertained.

Visited here for the oggie boogie bash. It is a great park. During the oggie boogie bash the liens weren’t too bad meaning you could experience everything. It is the best park (including the Disneyland park) out of all of them

When I need a boost in Spirit… I head to the Happiest Place. I’m a Magic Key holder so I like to dine @ Magic Key Terrace & go on my husband’s favorite ride & mine Soaring Around the world. Decorated beautifully for Christmas🎄🎄❤️😍

This was my family and I’s first visit to this park. Personally, I prefer this park over the Disneyland Park, as it was less busy and less overwhelming in terms of how many attractions there are. They also had great plant based food options for me and my family. We love Pixar movies and grew up watching Cars and playing the video game, so Pixar Pier and Radiator Springs were the highlights! My favourite ride was the Incredicoaster! I will definitely want to go back to experience it again and do any of the rides I didn’t do this time.

Amazzing day!! But NO Baymax meet (apparently for a while) We had a fantastic say! Saw other reviewers say how awful things are but we did not see any of that. Washrooms were clean, plentiful. We found food that was good snd lots of optioms. Did mobile order, we also brought some light snacks so didn’t have to eat multiple meals. Lines were the only issue but we bought lightening lane for Star Wars -Rise of resistance ($26 usd each) worth it. We also had bought the full LL pass and we’re able to use on a few rides so it really depends the rides you do if its worth it. Do single rider too where you can. The other Smugglers run StarWars ride my hubs said was terrible. The star wars area is amazzing. Make a reservation for Ogas Cantina so you get a table. Very cool place for a rest and drinks. Cocktails were great and we only had garlic bread/cheese but it was amazing and everyone at our table liked their food. A must for SW fans, but even if you’re not its wortg it! The real stars and wow came from San Fransokyo. Very cool and we stayed here for a long time to eat, look around. Lunar New Year was very cute too. We missed parade but would have been nice. We came from Canada, and main/only character we wanted to see was Baymax as my son is a huge fan. Only Hiro was there and they told us Baymax would be gone maybe for months (?) as suit being fixed. I mean, honestly doesn’t Disney have many Baymax suits? This was a huge miss that theu cannot advise of this somewhere. People spend thousands to travel to see favourites. Disney has invested millions in San Fransokyo, Baymax’s city, whats the point if no Baymax? My son was crushed. We bought merch, baymax macaton and cup, bought the gold coin from machine, you could buy big baymax balloons too. This review is really for Baymax lovers so you don’t get your hopes up if going soon. Other than that the day was dabukous!!

Theming is immersive throughout, and the whole park didn't feel as cramped as Disneyland. The lighting after dark in San Fransokyo Square and Cars Land is a must see! (And yes, every third blink of the traffic light in Cars Land is longer!) After taking a few laps through the park, you do realize that it's a giant mall and food court with a few rides tucked away throughout. The soft pretzels available at Magic Key Terrace are far larger and more appealing than those served in carts at Disneyland! Radiator Springs Racers was incredibly popular the weekend of our visit- the Lightning Line was longer than the general queue for most other rides!

We did the World of Color Dessert Party. You get a reserved table and chair to sit down at during World of Color. We each got unlimited hot chocolate, water and soda. We don't drink alcohol so I didn't pay attention to that but I think there is something included for that too. Most importantly we each got a big dinner plate full of desserts, cheeses, cracker, and fruits. They also gave us each "to go" boxes so my husband and I finished our selections the next morning for breakfast. Great to sit down after 20,000 steps that day.

We saw everything and decided not to go on the car ride thing. Too long a wait. It was nice to get a cocktail when you wanted one and walk around with it. We had a great dinner at the Trattoria, had reservations in advance and got right in. The roller coaster was down which was a bummer and it never got warm enough for us to go on the water ride (didn't want to be wet). We had a great time.
