California Adventure Dining

Disneyland Resort’s 2001 addition of California Adventure brought rides targeted to both a higher age group and entire families who had both smaller children and teenagers. California Adventure is separated from Disneyland by Downtown Disney, an outdoor mall with no admission price loaded with unique and theme oriented stores and restaurants such as House of Blues, Rainforest Café, Build-A-Bear, and ESPN Zone. The atmosphere in California Adventure is much different than Disneyland as well. Disneyland is themed to its movies and to young children, while California Adventure is for obvious reasons based off the different lifestyles of California. With a small scale Golden Gate Bridge, a boardwalk modeled after Santa Monica and Venice Beach, and a mountainous raft ride down the Sierras, California Adventure attempts to encompass all aspects of Californian life that diversify it from the other 49 states. Like Disneyland, California Adventure is split into different regions: Sunshine plaza, Hollywood Pictures Backlot, A Bug’s Land, Golden State, Paradise Bay and Paradise Pier.

The Rides: The rides are the main attraction at California Adventure, and they are found spread evenly throughout the different regions of the Park.
