Disney California Adventure Park

Disney's second Anaheim gate, themed around California history, culture, and Hollywood glamour. Highlights include Pixar Pier, Cars Land's Radiator Springs Racers, the Guardians of the Galaxy drop ride, and the World of Color nighttime show.

Practical: Sits directly across the esplanade from Disneyland Park, so park-hopper tickets let you split a day between both. Buena Vista Street and the breweries/eateries make it a strong evening choice.
