Lands: Disney California Adventure Park features eight themed lands.
- Buena Vista Street: Guests enter Disney California Adventure Park through this lively and richly detailed land, immersing them in a locale reminiscent of Los Angeles in the 1920s. With its familiar shop names, period costumes and architecture, Buena Vista Street is inspired by the “city of dreams” Walt Disney found when he arrived in California by train.
- Hollywood Land: This is where the Golden Age of Hollywood and the magic of Disney movies are celebrated with attractions (Monsters, Inc. Mike & Sulley to the Rescue!), shows (“Mickey’s PhilharMagic”) and entertainment that conjure the romance, glamour and sentimentality of the silver screen.
- Grizzly Peak: Grizzly Peak immerses guests in the beauty of the Golden State’s national parks, where they can raft through rough waters (Grizzly River Rapids), plus explore jaw-dropping natural and man-made landmarks (Soarin’ Around the World).
- Avengers Campus: Introduced in 2021, Avengers Campus invites longtime fans of Super Heroes and those discovering them for the first time to team up with the Avengers and their allies in this fully immersive land that mixes innovative technology and fun for all ages. Here, guests can sling webs (WEB SLINGERS: A Spider-Man Adventure), rescue the Guardians of the Galaxy (Guardians of the Galaxy – Mission: BREAKOUT!), taste-test inventive dining (Pym Test Kitchen) and become part of a bigger universe.
- Cars Land: Here, guests can step right into Radiator Springs and meet friends from Pixar’s “Cars” films. Cars Land is home to one of the largest and most elaborate attractions created for any Disney theme park, Radiator Springs Racers.
- San Fransokyo Square: Inspired by Walt Disney Animation Studios’ Academy Award®-winning film “Big Hero 6,” this reimagined area opened Aug. 31, 2023, transporting guests to the not-too-distant future, in a fictional mash-up of two iconic cities – San Francisco and Tokyo. Here, guests may encounter boy genius Hiro Hamada and his huggable healthcare companion robot, Baymax.
- Paradise Gardens Park: At this boardwalk-inspired land, guests can navigate the seas (The Little Mermaid – Ariel’s Undersea Adventure), skies (Goofy’s Sky School) and retro-style fun (Golden Zephyr). Paradise Garden Grill offers a rotating menu of seasonal flavors and delicious dishes.
- Pixar Pier: Reimagined in 2018, Pixar Pier features four whimsical neighborhoods where guests can step into beloved Pixar stories, with attractions including the thrilling Incredicoaster and Pixar Pal-A-Round, Pixar-inspired food and beverage at the Lamplight Lounge, plus guests can meet their favorite Pixar pals and more.

Fun Facts:
- The Carthay Circle Theatre is a majestic building at the end of Buena Vista Street that recalls, in name and architectural style, the great California movie palace where “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs” premiered in 1937.
- Cars Land and Buena Vista Street were introduced on June 15, 2012, as part of a five-year expansion to Disney California Adventure Park.
- “World of Color – ONE” spans Paradise Bay, a five-acre, man-made lagoon at Disney California Adventure Park. The show’s “stage” is a platform comprising nearly one full acre of engineered superstructure. It’s longer than a football field! Guests can access the viewing area for “World of Color – ONE” through the virtual queue system** available only via the Disneyland app. Though joining the virtual queue is not required to view the nighttime spectacular, it is highly recommended.
