California Adventure

When you enter California Adventure under a stylized Golden Gate Bridge flanked by two tiled murals representing the state's riches, you enter the essence of the state of California, Disney style. Disney Imagineers traveled over the state while designing California Adventure, distilling the Golden State into 55 acres, skimming off the best and brightest parts to celebrate.

The sections of this smaller theme park take their cues from the state - Hollywood Pictures Backlot, Paradise Pier, Golden State - and fewer rides tell a story, allowing the Imagineers to create some new and fun experiences, a few of which are unique here among all the Disney theme parks.
