Disneyland Park, California

Disneyland Park California is divided into two big attactions: Disneyland and Disney's California Adventure Park.

Disney's California Adventure Park is adjacent to Disneyland and has a separate entrance fee. But there is a ticket that allows one to hop from one park to the other, of course, for a more expensive price. The adventure park's theme is the different famous culture, landmarks and history of California like Golden Gate Bridge, Hollywood, etc and it has restaurants, rides and recent movies from Disney like The Incredibles, etc.

Shuttle that would take us to the park.
 Some of the attractions in the California Adventure Park. This is like Mickey's Philharmagic, only less amazing.

Mickey's Fun Wheel. The sliding gondolas creates a unique twist to this otherwise boring ride (there is an option for a stationary gondola). The gondola slide inward and outward or swing back and forth as the wheel rotates. It can be frightening, I actually squeal everytime our gondola slides and swings. From afar, it looks boring but when you're in the sliding gondola, you are in for a fun surprise, no wonder it looks like Mickey has a mischievous smile here.
One of the highlights of our visit in the park. The show was freaking hilarious, thanks to the Genie. He was super funny and the script or his ad libs were updated with the latest Hollywood buzz. J said that Disney could make this into a Broadway bonanza just like The Lion King.
Welcome to the happiest place on earth!
The Haunted Mansion. It was not scary but the high-tech special effects were amazing like the floating ghosts and dancing mannequins, the ones we saw in movies such as Beetlejuice and Capser. It was fun seeing those movie magic up close.

Columbia Sailing Ship. The leisurely boat ride through Frontierland.
