Directly across a pedestrian plaza from Disneyland Park, Disney's California Adventure is a "one-of-a-kind" --- none of the Disney parks are like it! Nor will there EVER be a duplicate, because DCA's theme is "A salute to the Golden State" (California's motto). The various "lands" of California Adventure are themed around various aspects of California history and geography. There are, for example, themed areas honoring both California's aerospace and movie-making industries, and another spotlighting the state's singular redwood and sequoia forests. All the rides and attractions are family-oriented. A special unique attraction is the mini-Broadway-style show, "Aladdin the Musical," re-creating the story of Aladdin and Jasmine. Enjoy dinner at the Golden Vine Winery while overlooking Disney's Electrical Parade.
