When California Adventure first opened, Paradise Pier celebrated the classic theme parks found in Los Angeles' piers and beaches. California Screamin' was Disney's first looping roller coaster, bringing much needed thrills to otherwise tame park.

This eventually led to the change from Paradise Pier to Pixar ...

I don't know if you know this about me yet - but I love breakfast. Which is weird, because I distinctly remember HATING breakfast food growing up. Regardless of my random change of heart in college regarding breakfast food, going out for breakfast is one of my favorite things. It's even better on vacation, because I can stuff my face as much as I want and use the excuse "but I'm on vacation!" to justify the enormous amount of calories I eat at Disney resorts. ...
