All the new stuff sounds cool! Why are they taking away the bridge and California letters?! They are fun! That’s too bad.
i want them to leave the golden gate bridge and i want them to leave the “CALIFORNIA” letters up! The Golden Dreams theater shall not close as well! its not fair to the kids or the adults becasue we love it now and we don’t want anything to change.
We are a family of annual passholders and parents of small children. We love California Adventure for different reasons than we love Disneyland { our number one and always will be Fav} Looking forward to all the new attractions. We are there alot and have a routine there as well as we do in the Magic Kingdom. We almost never visit the pier area at all. california soarin and the Hollywood section are our areas we frequent { Playhouse Disney, Crush, Monsters Inc and Alladin is amazing!!! } Next week the new Toy Story opens and we will be there early. I hope they have given some thought to some inside the park transportation like in Disneyland. We actually make use of the DL Railroad and even the Monorail as part of our routine navigating our way around the park throughout the day. It can be a real challenge trying to make it to all the timed shows and attractions in California Adventure especially with little ones. New stuff will be fun but its always kind of been our slow paced casual getaway when we needed a break from the crowds and hustle around the magic kingdom.
in addition, I see no benefit in losing either the Iconic symbols of either the Golden gate bridge or the BIG California at the entrance. Both of these have played a major role in several of our favorite Kodak moments. What they need to fix is the entry gates at the turnstiles of California adventure. We and soooo many other people like us with more than one toddler , have a large stroller where our children sit side by side. We payed alot of money for this state of the art strollerand it dosent fit through the stoller gates. Its been a common problem for some time now and they have done nothing to fix it. While the rest of our party passes through with ease , my children and I are reidirected to a large drive thru gate where we always have to wait atleast several minutes for someone with a key to be called to let us in. We are always waiting with several other owners of this now VERY POPULAR stroller. Seems like a simple fix but its a huge inconvenience for us.
I think u should leave the letters outside of california…..All the changes seem ok, but some how i feel u are all forgetting about the family part of your sayings….There hasnt been a new major roller in disneyland in awhile u all keep building little kitty rides and no major attraction rides for us older people, dont get me wrong i love disneyland and california adventure….Just need a new roller coaster ride for older children and adults….
