California Adventure views 2012

In addition to visiting Disneyland this summer, my family also visited California Adventure for the first time. This is the park directly across from Disneyland. I liked it more than expected, particularly the recreations of 1930s Buena Vista (from the time Walt Disney first went to California), the California desert of Cars Land and the recreation of the Santa Monica pier. Wonderful detail and design.
