I was trying to find this video and somehow came up in the search results! I was obsessed with watching this in the late 2000s in anticipation of the expansion to DCA. Crazy to see over 10 years later how everything turned out.
I love it too! I really miss how the park was from 2012 to 2016. It was cohesive and it was very well done. Disney did a great job previewing this park and getting the crowds hyped
The only thing i will miss the most when all this is completed is the memories I've had at Disney's California Adventure, I do really look forward to all these changes :]
I just visited. It's a different park from Disneyland, and I can't really see anyone spending more than one day in the Adventure, it offers something really different. Apart from the INSANE wait for Radiator Springs Racers (seriously, fastpasses were gooone!) it was actually a beautiful park with that touch of Disney magic. Plus, unlike Disneyland in the summer, I could actually walk from place to place with ease, though if word gets around, it won't always be that way. ;)
As you are at Disneyland frequently, you should check out the Blue Sky exhibit, where you'll find models and concept art for most every change discussed in this video.
Thank you for so much insight on what is to come! It makes me really excited. I'm mostly looking forward to The Little Mermaid ride and the new lagoon. It all sounds so interesting!
Wow, thanks TJ for putting that all in perspective. I was there in feb. for two hours. That's all you really need after you've done the part five or more times. The new additions will hopefully be more exciting. TJ Hope we dont have to wait so long between DL updates! We look forward to them.
THANK GOD! i didnt get the disney feel almost at all but, this is gonna get me to come back to DL resort to see all the newness. Im so glad the imagineers are doing this...Walt always wants these parks to grow and change but,never lose the disney charm. Im looking forward to all this. ;D
I was there when they drained the lagoon, it was quite the sight. The toy story ride was pretty good. The 3D works and you get a good variety of games to play. All the games involve shooting some sort of projectile from the cannon in front of your seat. You get some good tactile feedback whenever you shoot, which will be often. The ride not only tracks your score but your accuracy as well. You know, the ride isn't even that new anymore, I don't know why I'm going in to such detail...
This looks like it's going to be so much fun. I can't wait. He I'll be like 27 in 2012 when most of it is done, but I will always love Disneyland/California Adventure.
The park will remain open with rotating closures of individual sections. Teams will develop one area at a time. So, in essence, Sunshine Plaza will close for a year or so as it is transformed into Walt Disney Plaza, etc., but the rest of the park will remain open. As for Screamin', the queue area will be rethemed, but the ride itself will remain the same.
i was there yesterday and you can totally see that they are really putting a lot of effort to this, the lagoon is already drained and parts of the disney's world of color are already in place the giant orange is gone, but the maliboomer is not so i dont think theyre taking it down.. the little mermaid stuff is still due to open on 2011 and they are already installing the red street cars and i got to ride the toy story mania and it was awesome it's gonna be huge :D
My dads friend is an imagaineer at Disneyland and when he came to visit, he told us all about Carland!! It's going to be so cool and fun, because cars is awesome!
Sections of the park will be closed in stages as work on the expansion and placemaking continues. The largest problem will occur in about two years, when the main entrance and Sunshine Plaza are closed, though the park will remain open. A temporary entrance will be utilized. But the park will remain 70-80% open during expansion.
I am glad to see they are making over California Adventure. I've never been very fond of it and have only been there twice (out of 17 visits in the last year as annual passholders to Disneyland). The rides lack imagination and the separate areas in the park were built with no regard to a cohesive flow of one area into another.
It's very interesting to see the mixed comments on this. I had the feeling that a lot of people were not fans of CA Adventure and was surprised to find out that that is not the case! Personally, I am looking forward to the revamp for this park. I really hope it gets a more immersive feel like the original Disneyland Park.
dude, i nearly cried. I and so many have been saying "they should put a 'W.E.T.' fountain here like the bellagio", they did it for Illuminaria, why not have a year round attraction, heck i remember sitting on the ground for hours waiting for the magic waters at the DL Hotel, remember that? super corny and simple, but oh so enchanting. I saw one of the last performances.
first, walt didn't just approve that ride but helped with the development of it, Creative talent and supervision, which is the most vital part of creating a new attraction. there's a reason why imagineers had so much trouble with the haunted mansion when he passed away. they couldn't agree with anything. second I dont know if there was anything before but its relief that they put something worth that space unlike winnie the pooh ride which also answer your third response
As well as they have to add to carland, Paradise Pier and HPB Ratior springs Car wash will be like Soak-N-sail at Pirate shores in Legoland. Lighting Macqueen's Roamin cars will be like Autopia. Wall-E the Ride will be a simulator ride simalair to star tours and it will replace the Hyperion Theather. Up Balloon Bounce will be a rethemed version of Jumpin' Jelllyfish. Ratouille Rat Chase will be a rethemed version of Mallound Madness But with Rat traps, Kinves and other traps ETC.
Oh yes I also want to say that I went to DCA on Monday June 23 and it was packed because of the new Toy Story Ride, Soarin' had a 210 minute wait, all the 3-D movies had full theaters, and the Toy Story Ride, 300 minutes!
I'm so excited for all the new additions to DCA. I hate that people are getting mad about these changes and saying that they like things now. Wasn't it Walt himself who said that we should keep growing and that the parks will never be complete?
Great update- I had no idea so much was going on! CA Adventure sucked in 2003 when I went for grad nite. It played Beach Boys music all the time, too. I like how it's becoming more Disney specific.
California adventure is PERFECT the way it is!!! i love the california theme,and the entrance is beautiful! the park shows how walt disney himself loved california, and why he made it his home!! are they taking away soarin, or grizzly river run? or brother bear challengee trail? i love everything abot it, and who cares if it didnt make money? it is absolutely magical. im gonna take many pictures of the park. =(
i was there for my first time in aug of 07 and thought it was nice but no big deal! it was missing disney majic. Now i look forward to going back in the future. its a long ride from ct and now worth it.
I live In Orlando and was very excited to visit other Disney Parks. I was blown away by Disneyland But DCA was not impressive. I can't wait to go back in 2012. Only bad thing is i'll have to make two scrapbooks. One for the old version and one for the new version.
thanks for the update! do you have any idea as to how long all this would take? and for BrickstarRunner, it seems like Cars Land is going to be a whole new area for Cali. Ad. and not a new park of it's own. can't wait to see the new lake set up, looks like it should be amazing.
so when excatly are they supposed to do this whole new entryway? I was just there a few days ago, and I didnt see anything new yet. I kinda like how it is now better.
I would love a Philharmagic in CA, though I heard that the current muppet theatre wasn't big enough to accommodate the extra wide screen . . . I hope they find a way to work around it. I'm stoked for the Cars ride.
i love california adventure, and when i first heard about this a year ago, i was upset. but now i can't wait for all the new stuff!! also, the orange stinger is being re-themed as a Silly Symphony thing. and i think some ride is replacing the maliboomer, but i'm not 100% sure... and i can't wait till cars land!
This is really good, I think attendance will boost. I hear Country Bears is coming here too, and Muppet Vision is going to be replaced by Philhar Magic. I hope they build Western River Expedition here and theme it to the gold rush, maybe that would replace Grizzly River Run.
i be noticing some changes at the park. as of January 16 2009, the huge water right in front of california screamin is gone.. i don't if it be water cleaning but all of the water is gone.. ( except near the wharf)
i was jsut ther recently and u cood see alot of changes; they pumped out all the water in the pier and its completely gone and they bordered off the way to see it. and they moved the mickey ears from california screamin to the ferris wheel so that was shut down, u cood tell they were changing a lot
I think the best idea of a ride should be when it's hidden by lush vegetation or any earthly structures especially with water . Example: To hear the ride but not beable to see it is very very exciting. This is an example of an early memory of my imagination when I was little and also from some certain rides at Disneyland and other parks.
The new entrance looks just like the entry at Disneys' Hollywood Studios (formerly, Disney/MGM Studios) in Orlando. The overhaul makes me think of the "re-invention" of Epcot. When Epcot first opened, many were dissapointed that Disney characters weren't there. Word spread the Epcot was "Disney for adults" and people were rightly put off. Now, Epcot appeals to more people than ever and the "new" DCA looks very promising as well.
does anyone know if they will have california adventure open when they do this. and does anyone know if they are planning on changing anything to the trains on california screamin to fit the new theme in paradise pier. gosh i was so relieved when they said that muholland maddness was just being remodled and not torn out. im also glad that they are going to have a test track type ride. on the down side it makes me sad that the entrence to toystory mania covers the loop on california screamin.
Thanskn for the update. That Midway Madness (3D toy story shooter) is great, even the single rider queue has 40 people in it at peak times! I thought they may have included Zorro, but maybe they dont have right any more....
I like the entrance the way it is, but I do agree on the fact that it needs more rides. I also cant wait for the water show and the Little Mermaid ride.
Great video! At 3:30, the background music is the instrumental version of "There's a Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow." Is that available on CD? (Love the credits version, too!)
G3 Test Track cars? I really hope that they are able to fix all the bugs with those. Even though they have been reworked, TT still has a comparetively large downtime.
hm, that comment was from awhile back. but i think i was asking how long would each project take. and i DID notice the bottom lines, but i thought those were start dates. they're actually opening dates, huh? can't wait to see all the new stuff. still haven't seen toy story mania, yet, though. =(
This is my first You Tube post. I must say that I worked in the park while DCA was being built (employees parked where DCA now stands for years) and I was a bit disappointed when it opened. However, I've been back and I've found my personal "jewels" of the park that keep me coming back and opening my eyes to the park as a whole. Dinsey has always appealed to kids and Disney knows without working class families supporting DCA, the park is doomed. I'm sure DL proceeds help DCA stay afloat.
I;m ecstatic that they're renovating CA. It never expressed the Disney magic like DLand does. That's what brings the tourists; the unique spark of magic you find within yourself when you enter the gates. Carland will be done when I'm at their college program! Yipee!
nobody knows about phase 2 yet, but there are alot of rumors. i heard that they may upgrade muppetvision and put some new attractions in hollywood land. Disney didn't really announce that they were going to have a phase 2 either.
Wow great video! Those changes sound great. It's very true that the entrance now is very boring and generically themed. It doesn't have a "main street" type of entrance like every other disney them park. Hope it all comes out for the better. I love CA Adventure but it seems like they put it together without any deep thought in it's creation.
I like all the new stuff that DCA is getting. The only downside though is that Paradise Pier in its new Victorian form will have much less to do with the park's overall theme of California than its predecessor. Either way though, I have no doubt that DCA will see an improvement in attendance over the next few years, especially with the opening of Carsland. I plan to make a visit to DLR again in late 2012 or early 2013 so I can see all the new stuff all at once.
Actually, autopia is in Disneyland so don't worry about that. I wish that they were keeping the old California Adventure too. Personaly, I think that California adventure just needs more popular roller coasters and thrill rides rather than giving the park a different theme.
This all sounds amazing, but whats gonna happen w/ the Cali. Screamin' w/out the Mickey ears?? Im gonna miss those the most! plus, i actually might miss the lagoon too!!! But the rest sounds awesome!
But what is the point of removing Maliboomer? What are they replacing it with? Maliboomer doesn't really take that much space, so I don't know what they would put there. Thats one of the only rides I ride at DCA.
If only I was alive when walt was still around. Even though I never personally knew him, I missed him ever since I was born. Walt once said that Disneyland would never be finished. These modern "Imagineers" have the wrong idea. They know how to get new customers, but they don't get how to keep their old fans.
the guy that answers the questions inside The First 50 Magical Years, told us that the The Country Bear Jamboree its comming to California Adventure, that its almost a fact...(on wikipedia it says is still a rumor). YEYYY!!! I love love those bears!
Agreed. I too would prefer more roller coasters than changing the theme. I think I'm one of the few people who digs the grown-up vibe of California Adventure. I'm not sure how fond I'll be with it becoming Pixar/Victorian/Old Hollywood - Land.
I'm really looking forward to the new, revamped park!!! The old one was okay, but that was all; o-k-a-y. California Adventure, like anything Disney, should be e-x-t-r-a-o-r-d-i-n-a-r-y!
This would be great, but I wish they made some more Disney magic into the entire park. When I go in there now, it's to go one Soarin' or GBRR, so hopefully, this will have some connection to Disneyland, and not just Califronia, maybe a mix. =)

So crazy going back and watching this now that it's all done. I remember going in Sept or Oct 2011, and it was construction wall city!
Taylor Ward i went in late 2010! It was Wall City!!!
I just visited. It's a different park from Disneyland, and I can't really see anyone spending more than one day in the Adventure, it offers something really different. Apart from the INSANE wait for Radiator Springs Racers (seriously, fastpasses were gooone!) it was actually a beautiful park with that touch of Disney magic.

Thank you for so much insight on what is to come! It makes me really excited. I'm mostly looking forward to The Little Mermaid ride and the new lagoon. It all sounds so interesting!
Its about time. This park has so much potential and Im glad they're finally bringing it out.
Can't believe how far we've come 🥰🥰🥰
I love the fact that Disneyland has rides that people of all ages can enjoy :D.
The thrill ride at Carsland looks like a cool idea! It's nice to have a ride like Test Track at Epcot at DCA!
Everything looks so good now :) Can't wait to see the final product soon when it's complete.
Wow, thanks TJ for putting that all in perspective. I was there in feb. for two hours. That's all you really need after you've done the part five or more times. The new additions will hopefully be more exciting. TJ Hope we dont have to wait so long between DL updates! We look forward to them.

goodness gracious! i went last sunday and the wait for the toy story ride was maybe 45 minutes at the most!

and i got to ride the toy story mania and it was awesome
it's gonna be huge :D
thats how i was too!
im so excited and cant wait for this renovation to be completed.
It's great that they're going to expand this park. I hope that they consider putting the country bears in this new project. That is my one hope.
My dads friend is an imagaineer at Disneyland and when he came to visit, he told us all about Carland!! It's going to be so cool and fun, because cars is awesome!
I hope they do, as well. From what I recall, test-and-adjust continued for about 18 months on TT back in the 1990s.
Sections of the park will be closed in stages as work on the expansion and placemaking continues. The largest problem will occur in about two years, when the main entrance and Sunshine Plaza are closed, though the park will remain open. A temporary entrance will be utilized. But the park will remain 70-80% open during expansion.
That night time water show thing looks pretty cool.
I am glad to see they are making over California Adventure. I've never been very fond of it and have only been there twice (out of 17 visits in the last year as annual passholders to Disneyland).

Awww man! The side murals when you walk in are coming down too?! That's where I got my very first picture from California Adventure when I was 9!
dude, i nearly cried. I and so many have been saying "they should put a 'W.E.T.' fountain here like the bellagio", they did it for Illuminaria, why not have a year round attraction, heck i remember sitting on the ground for hours waiting for the magic waters at the DL Hotel, remember that? super corny and simple, but oh so enchanting. I saw one of the last performances.
Cool! I can't wait, especially for the mermaid ride and the water show! Thanks for posting. :O)
Hey thats why the lake thing was drained the last time it was there!!
I am SOOO excited for this!!
first, walt didn't just approve that ride but helped with the development of it, Creative talent and supervision, which is the most vital part of creating a new attraction. there's a reason why imagineers had so much trouble with the haunted mansion when he passed away. they couldn't agree with anything. second I dont know if there was anything before but its relief that they put something worth that space unlike winnie the pooh ride which also answer your third response

can't wait to see the new lake set up, looks like it should be amazing.
Totally! Thats my favorite ride at Florida's Hollywood studios. It would be nice to have it in CA!
I like the idea of the face-lift for the park.
so when excatly are they supposed to do this whole new entryway? I was just there a few days ago, and I didnt see anything new yet. I kinda like how it is now better.
The Lagoon Is Already Drained...All you can see is wood metal...and pieces of statues :D
its gonna be awesome
I would love a Philharmagic in CA, though I heard that the current muppet theatre wasn't big enough to accommodate the extra wide screen . . . I hope they find a way to work around it. I'm stoked for the Cars ride.
Mickey’s Philharmagic opened in California in 2019! 11 years after you made this comment. It’s where Muppet Vision 3D used to be.
i love california adventure, and when i first heard about this a year ago, i was upset. but now i can't wait for all the new stuff!!
also, the orange stinger is being re-themed as a Silly Symphony thing. and i think some ride is replacing the maliboomer, but i'm not 100% sure...
and i can't wait till cars land!
cool...I like the ideas, I do think though that they should add some more coasters...but yeah for the beer garden wohoo...
This is really good, I think attendance will boost. I hear Country Bears is coming here too, and Muppet Vision is going to be replaced by Philhar Magic. I hope they build Western River Expedition here and theme it to the gold rush, maybe that would replace Grizzly River Run.
i be noticing some changes at the park.
as of January 16 2009, the huge water right in front of california screamin is gone.. i don't if it be water cleaning but all of the water is gone.. ( except near the wharf)
it look very good and i look forwardto going to the new park
i was jsut ther recently and u cood see alot of changes; they pumped out all the water in the pier and its completely gone and they bordered off the way to see it. and they moved the mickey ears from california screamin to the ferris wheel so that was shut down, u cood tell they were changing a lot

The new entrance is gonna be EXACTLY like the one at Disney's Hollywood Studios in Walt Disney World, Orlando, Florida.
I can hardly wait! I was there opening day and thought it sucked! I'm glad theyre adding so much too it. woo hoo
I'm going to California adventure
TOMMAROW!!!!!!
can't wait
does anyone know if they will have california adventure open when they do this. and does anyone know if they are planning on changing anything to the trains on california screamin to fit the new theme in paradise pier.
gosh i was so relieved when they said that muholland maddness was just being remodled and not torn out. im also glad that they are going to have a test track type ride. on the down side it makes me sad that the entrence to toystory mania covers the loop on california screamin.
Thanskn for the update. That Midway Madness (3D toy story shooter) is great, even the single rider queue has 40 people in it at peak times! I thought they may have included Zorro, but maybe they dont have right any more....
I like the entrance the way it is, but I do agree on the fact that it needs more rides. I also cant wait for the water show and the Little Mermaid ride.
Carsland will be so awesome and with addition the Cars 2 will be coming soon =D
Wonderful improvement from what they have now. :)
@Bladerunner55217 actually it's 1.1 billion dollars to make what was THEN a carnival park, into what is NOW a disney park.
Walt would be happy.
Great video! At 3:30, the background music is the instrumental version of "There's a Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow." Is that available on CD? (Love the credits version, too!)
G3 Test Track cars? I really hope that they are able to fix all the bugs with those. Even though they have been reworked, TT still has a comparetively large downtime.
they should make like a calico ghost town ride, kinda like big thunder mountain. and a wall-e ride, like star tours but with stuff wall-e would do
I am very happy that this is happenig.
Ido have one question.
Are they keeping Califarnia Scremain'
man thats exciting, im trying to convince my parents to take me to Disneyland as a grad present in 2013 so i can check every thing out
hm, that comment was from awhile back. but i think i was asking how long would each project take. and i DID notice the bottom lines, but i thought those were start dates. they're actually opening dates, huh? can't wait to see all the new stuff. still haven't seen toy story mania, yet, though. =(
oh thank god theyre remodeling it
i never felf as if it were a "real" disney park, im sooo excited for the new grand opening!
is the california adventures park seprae from the disney and park?
And 4 years later .. its all come true : )
Will Do! leave me a buzz on May 20th, and I'll let you know how it looks (:
disneylandtourdotcom: Is there any episode about what has been going on with the it's a small world refurb?
love it!!! ur the best

nobody knows about phase 2 yet, but there are alot of rumors. i heard that they may upgrade muppetvision and put some new attractions in hollywood land. Disney didn't really announce that they were going to have a phase 2 either.
I think they are now open want to go to disney california adventure and see?
They're were all open in their almost 15 years of operating including the Expansion ongoing to the park. The reopened in June 15 2012.
oh ok
Wow great video! Those changes sound great. It's very true that the entrance now is very boring and generically themed.

Actually, autopia is in Disneyland so don't worry about that. I wish that they were keeping the old California Adventure too. Personaly, I think that California adventure just needs more popular roller coasters and thrill rides rather than giving the park a different theme.
In true perspective disney upgrading itself improves the economy of where its locate
And what about the aladdin play, which is one of the best plays ive ever seen?!
This all sounds amazing, but whats gonna happen w/ the Cali. Screamin' w/out the Mickey ears?? Im gonna miss those the most! plus, i actually might miss the lagoon too!!! But the rest sounds awesome!
But what is the point of removing Maliboomer? What are they replacing it with? Maliboomer doesn't really take that much space, so I don't know what they would put there.
Thats one of the only rides I ride at DCA.
If only I was alive when walt was still around. Even though I never personally knew him, I missed him ever since I was born. Walt once said that Disneyland would never be finished. These modern "Imagineers" have the wrong idea. They know how to get new customers, but they don't get how to keep their old fans.
the guy that answers the questions inside The First 50 Magical Years, told us that the The Country Bear Jamboree its comming to California Adventure, that its almost a fact...(on wikipedia it says is still a rumor).
YEYYY!!! I love love those bears!
wat about the orange stinger? that got replaced with silly symphony swings
Agreed. I too would prefer more roller coasters than changing the theme.
I think I'm one of the few people who digs the grown-up vibe of California Adventure. I'm not sure how fond I'll be with it becoming Pixar/Victorian/Old Hollywood - Land.
I'm really looking forward to the new, revamped park!!!
The old one was okay, but that was all; o-k-a-y. California Adventure, like anything Disney, should be e-x-t-r-a-o-r-d-i-n-a-r-y!
The Voyage of the Little Mermaid is also supposed to come to the Magic Kingdom where the lagoon was.
This would be great, but I wish they made some more Disney magic into the entire park. When I go in there now, it's to go one Soarin' or GBRR, so hopefully, this will have some connection to Disneyland, and not just Califronia, maybe a mix. =)
there's lots of old surf music at the entrance, too.
Yes, thank you hypnodude.
I am aware there is going to be a Mermaid ride and that was relevant to anything I was saying how?
it was 80 minutes when i was at DHS in WDW a few weeks ago.
The trailers near Aladdin are gone.there's this Wall-E Photo Place.
