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.

5 Must Do’s at Epcot – Future World

5 Must Do’s At Disney’s Magic Kingdom
Disney's Magic Kingdom is my favorite Disney park. Nothing beats walking down Main Street USA, seeing Cinderella Castle looming before you. Even though Walt never got to see the sister park to Disneyland Park, you can still feel the connection to Mr. Disney in every nook and cranny.
