Happy #20 Disney's California Adventure!

How can it be TWO DECADES since this Park opened? Oh the plans they probably had and the glee that would have been experienced for this milestone, only if...

Disney California Adventure Park, commonly referred to as DCA, is a 72-acre park, located adjacent to the original Disneyland, and is themed after the history and culture of California. This Park celebrates the fun and adventure of the state through the use of various Disney, Pixar and Marvel properties.

Our friend, Bob was happily employee at Disneyland and he and Annie brought us along for our introductory visit (September 14, 2001). What a blast!

It took awhile for DCA to catch on, however. After the park officially opened to the public on February 8, 2001, the company's attendance projections were never met. Disney spent the next several years incrementally adding new rides, shows, and attractions, and implementing other promotions aimed at boosting attendance. In 2007, Disney announced a major expansion of the park as well as a major overhaul of a significant portion of the park. Construction lasted for five years and was completed in stages, culminating with the opening of Buena Vista Street and Cars Land in June 2012.
We visited DCA dozens of times over the last 20 years. Here's hoping we get back there soon for dozens of more visits and silly photo opportunities which cement the memories forever. What a ride!
