Be sure to check out the other Disney California Adventure pages on this website after you're done finding out the park's hours of operation. 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!
Do you want to know the Disney California Adventure theme park's hours of operation? You'll find that info right here!
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 7 most popular attractions, and everything else will fit into place. Those attractions are---
1.) Disney's Twilight Zone Tower of Terror (thrill ride; has Fast Pass option.) Possibly the most popular ride in the park, this ride often has a line all day long. It's a good idea to ride it (or get your fast pass for it) early in the day.
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. The Aladdin show will be ending in Summer 2010! If you've never seen it, then be sure to catch it soon!
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 3: Right Here! Right Now! (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 of the previous HSM parade (the High School Musical 2 parade), you may visit the High School Musical Parade page of this website.
5.) Toy Story Mania ride: Combining both the fun of an indoor dark ride with game-playing, you'll find Toy Story Mania at the very "back" of the park (at the base of the California Screamin' roller coaster.) This popular ride, featuring a number of different "Toy Story" movie characters, always gathers a crowd.
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!
7.) World of Color nighttime spectacular: By now, you've undoubtedly heard that a MAJOR new performance will soon begin at Disney's California Adventure. The "World of Color" show will be held after dark at the park, and will feature spectacular lighting, captivating music, brilliant pyrotechnics, synchronized fountains...and, of course, many favorite Disney characters. Look for the World of Color show to officially debut on June 11, 2010---and expect to find a big crowd!
Note: What happened to Disney's Electrical Parade? If you're an Electric Parade fan, there's absolutely horrible news for you! This much-loved parade has left California and moved to Florida, where it will be running this summer at the Magic Kingdom. If you'd like to see pictures of the popular Electric Parade, please visit the Disney's Electrical Parade page of this website.
