You'll see dozens of photos, and discover details about the theme park's attractions! Plan your day: how to squeeze in the most fun!
You'll notice that the Disney California Adventure park hours aren't the same as its sister park, Disneyland. In fact, Disney California Adventure hours are ALWAYS shorter than Disneyland's hours---and that's because Disneyland attracts a greater crowd. Don't worry, though. Even though Disney's California Adventure Park is open shorter hours, its lighter lines for most attractions will usually let you see everything that you had planned. Plan your day around the 6 most popular attractions, and everything else will fit into place. Those attractions are--- 2.) Disney's live, Broadway-style theater production, "Aladdin, the Musical" (Only available during several showtimes throughout the day.) The theater is large, so you'll make it into the showtime of your choice if you plan ahead and get in line early. The difficulty is remembering when the showtimes are, and planning your day to be near the theater at the right time. 3.) Soarin' Over California (ride; has Fast Pass option.) This ride is another one that most visitors consider a "must-see" attraction. You'll often find a long line here; yet the Fast Pass and Single Rider options can help. 4.) High School Musical 2: School's Out (Based on the popular Disney movies, this event is both a parade and a show combined!) Kids love this interactive parade, and adults find themselves tapping their toes and smiling. To see pictures, you may visit the High School Musical Parade page of this website. 5.) Disney's Electrical Parade (nighttime parade featuring beautiful lighting, formerly called the Disneyland Main Street Electrical Parade.) The Disney Electric Parade is often "on hiatus" during the less-crowded months of the year, but is always certain to run during Spring Break, Summer Vacation, and the Christmas Holidays. To see pictures, please visit the Disney's Electrical Parade page of this website. 6.) The Pixar Play Parade! The popular Block Party Bash parade has ended its run in Anaheim, California...and it has moved on to the Disney Resort in Orlando, Florida. But Pixar character-lovers need not despair---the new Pixar Play Parade is be full of your favorite Pixar costumed characters! An all new musical soundtrack accompanies the Pixar Play Parade...and there is other fun along the route---such as cascades of bubbles and squirts of water being shot into the crowd. It's a parade worth planning NOT to miss! To enjoy pictures of the Pixar Play Parade, please see the Disney California Adventure Parade Schedule page of this website.
