Buena Vista Street

By D.Z. 

Buena Vista Street is a whole new area at Disney's California Adventures. This area starts from the moment you walk into the park. In the center of it all is the Carthay Circle Theater. It is a replica of the theater where Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs premiered.

 

 

As you look around, you will find lots of shops. Inside, they have Mickey ears, t-shirts, key chains, pins and much more.

Riding around Buena Vista Street are trolley cars. Here you hop on for a little ride. Once in a while, a show is preformed on one of the cars. For more information, visit our shows and entertainment post.

Another cool thing is that Buena Vista Street has is a newspaper. The newspaper is different every month. This month (October) the cover was all about Halloween time. These newspapers are free and are very cool to have.

If you are in need for a quick bite to eat, Disney has lots of carts set up where you can purchase drinks and snacks.

 

As you can tell, Buena Vista Street has a lot to do. Next time you are in the park, be sure to explore Buena Vista Street.

By D.Z.

At California Adventures, they have been adding lots of brand new shows and experiences.
 

 

 

Red Car News Boys- This show is preformed every once in a while on Buena Vista Street. The cast includes a bunch of news boys and Mickey Mouse! The show is full of music and dance. Songs include "Take me out to the Ballgame," and "California Here We Come!" This show is very great. Don't miss it.

Five and Dime- This show is filled with jazz music. The cast includes some jazz musicians, one very talented singer, and Goofy. This show is another must see.

 

Minnie's Fly Girl's- In this show, you get to enjoy some music and get ready for a nice plane ride. (Not really) The cast includes three fly girls and Minnie! The show is close to Soarin' Over California.

Cars Land is a new land at Disney's California Adventures. This land is based off of Disney Pixar's movie Cars. Here is a little history on the land. It just opened on June 15! Walt Disney Imaginers have been working on this land for years. It is a part of Disney's California Adventures Expansion.

 

From when you first step in, you see the mountain range.

Mater's Junkyard Jamboree is such a fun ride where you twist and turn on a tractor.

Luigis Fyling Tires is where you ride around on tires.

Flo's V8 Cafe is where you get get something to eat.

Radiator Springs Racers is where you race friends on a giant track. In the beginning, you go through shows rooms where you meet characters from the movie Cars.

 The Cozy Cone Motel is where you can get a quick snack.

 Herre is one of the many cones where you can get a snack and a drink.

Here is something everyone should get! This is a Cars Land Souvenir Cup. You can purchase it for around 8 dollers at one of the Cozy Cone's.

Cars Land is one place to visit day and night. At sunset, Disney plays Sh-Boom and place by place lights up Cars Land. Just like in the first movie. When this event happens, everyone gets really excited. It is the start of the night time life at Cars Land!

Star Wars Miniland

 

By D.Z.

Legoland California has something really cool. Star Wars is the newest area in Miniland. This project was announced back in January of 2011. It opened on March 31 that year. Ever since it has been a big success. It really is a must see, though a little small. Just in January, Legoland announced that they will be expanding the experience by adding a gallery. What they did was add some small models of the Star Wars characters. Be sure to check out Star Wars Miniland next time you are in the park. Soon Legoland Florida will be opening their Star Wars Miniland so stay tuned.
