If you follow me on any form of social media, I would first like to thank you for putting up with my constant posting and ranting. Second, you would know I went to Disneyland for two days! I have a season pass so this may not be surprising but I usually go with my best friend who also has a pass, but this time I went with my mom! She got the two days- 1 park per day pass, which we assumed meant we had to go to both parks. FALSE. We could have done Disneyland both days. But that's besides the point. This trip just reassured me that I really don't like CA Adventure and I really love Disneyland.
We didn't get there until like noon which was fine because we slept in, drove down, got a hotel, and ate breakfast. Totally fine with me seeing as there are only like two rides in CA Adventure that I actually like.
I don't like CA Adventure because it's super split up, there aren't any lands, and to be honest, it isn't magical. There is something about Disneyland that just makes me smile. (I will get more into this in my post about Disneyland) Whatever it is, CA Adventure doesn't have it.
I do love CarsLand though...
And I also love the Starbucks in CA Adventure, although Disneyland now has one too!
I am also a huge fan of the Toy Story Mania game, but only because I've gotten really good at it.
FACT: I always win at Astro Blasters at Disneyland.
I win!
Monday night we got dinner in downtown Disney and OMG it was delicious.
Disneyland itself has the greatest food for theme parks/just really good food in general, but I don't like any of the places I've tried at CA Adventure. Mind you, I haven't gone to Ariel's Grotto, so I can't say that I have tried everything.
FUN STORY TIME! (That you already know if you follow me on Twitter) While we were at dinner, a woman was making balloon animals. The table next to us had two kids. One boy and one girl. The boy got a sword, and I didn't hear what the girl asked for. She started making it upside down and I thought it was a palm tree. Next thing I know the palm tree has red hair and was Ariel from The Little Mermaid. MIND BLOWN. I want to learn how to make balloon animals. Let me know if you know someone who can teach me.
After dinner, we headed back to the park for World of Color, but decided to go back to CarsLand... again. Because it is one of the few fun things in CA Adventure.
And then we saw World of Color.
And it was magical.
And we ate churros.
Moral of the story is: CA Adventure is not Disneyland. It's just another theme park. I'm sorry. Yes, it is ranked above several other theme parks in my book, but if I don't have to go back to CA Adventure for awhile, I'll be happy. It isn't magical, it has a weird vibe, and I just don't know how I feel about it. I also don't like wearing my ears there. So that's saying something
(Mickey Mouse ears... that is)
Stay tuned for my post about the magical land of Disney!
This entire post preaches to me because I think there's an entirely different vibe in Disneyland that is much more magical than CA Adventure. <3 Miss you!
ReplyDeleteOne time, we drove up all the way to Anaheim from LA to go to Disney.. and my friend was like trying to convince me to go to CA Adventure instead.. excuse me? NO.

ReplyDeleteWow, Disneyland sounds a lot different from Disney World!
ReplyDeleteI TOTALLY agree with you about California Adventure. Walking into Disneyland is breathtaking and my heart stops because I'm so excited, and I get none of that with CA. It's a nice theme park, but it's definitely just a theme park where Disneyland is an actual magical world of its own. I do love CarsLand though, and World of Color. But I'd still rather watch fireworks in Disneyland.
