Disney California Adventure opened on February 8, 2001, as the second theme park at the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, and covers 72 acres. Its nine lands include Cars Land, home of Radiator Springs Racers, Avengers Campus with Guardians of the Galaxy: Mission Breakout, and Pixar Pier with the Incredicoaster. After dark, World of Color fills Paradise Bay with water, light and film. About 10 million people visited in 2025, so plan headline rides for early or late in the day.
