The 10 Best Things to do Good for a Rainy Day in Disneyland Resort, Disneyland Resort
Disneyland Resort features two theme parks: Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure. Opened in 1955, Walt Disney’s original theme park, Disneyland Park is divided into 8 themed “lands”—Main Street, U.S.A., Tomorrowland, Fantasyland, Mickey's Toontown, Frontierland, Critter Country, New Orleans Square and Adventureland. Sail with pirates, explore exotic jungles, meet fairy-tale princesses, and dive under the ocean and rocket through the stars— all in the same day. Combine the magic of Disney with the best that California has to offer and the result is Disney California Adventure, a theme park that celebrates the California in style. When you enter the gates of this park, you are transported to the land of promise, opportunity and glamour. Disney California Adventure is a journey from the California of yesterday to today and a tribute to this land of dreams. You can ride the Red Car Trolley in 1920s Los Angeles, take a raft down the rapids with a mining company on Grizzly Peak, travel down Route 66 or brave a white knuckled roller coaster in a seaside amusement park. Whether you prefer "action, comedy or romance," Disney California Adventure has something for everyone.

I am not an artist, but I still love the Animation Academy at the Disneyland California Adventure Park. Even though my drawing didn't come close to that of the real Disney artist that led the class, it was still fun and a great way to escape the rain that hit the park that day. The waiting area of the Animation Academy is shared with other attractions and features multiple screens of different sizes and shapes that show the creative process that takes place in creating some of the iconic animated scenes from favorite Disney movies. I didn't get to return to the Academy during my visit, but I know one of my daughters returned at least two more times since she truly is an artist. It is definitely one of the highlights for her when we visit Disneyland!
2. Toy Story Midway Mania!

Ride takes you through toy story venues while you shoot at targets and build your score. The shooting is actually popping a strong at various "targets". Offers the added enjoyment of competition as your score is totaled at the end and your seatmates scores are shown with yours. Clearly the more you ride this attraction the more likely you will increase your score- hint- if you google this ride there are suggestions as to how to increase your score. I rode with my 8 year old grandson- I was more than happy to end up with the exact same score as him as he fired almost twice as many shots as I did. Aim low! Generally on weekdays the line is not too bad.

I love slipping by here to get out of the heat or just avoid the crowds. Total Nostalgia. During Christmas the "Voices of Liberty" come from EPCOT. They are amazing. They use the Great Moments with Mr Lincoln theatre to perform.

We visited Disney in December, so the Haunted Mansion is re-imagined at this time in a Nightmare Before Christmas theme. Lots to see and I can’t imagine it would actually be scary to anyone but tiny toddlers, maybe. Classic ride and very worth experiencing!

8. Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters

Reviewed By lwj - San Jose, United States
Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters is one of my favorite interactive rides in Disneyland... Join Star Command, board your XP-40 Space Cruiser and help stop the Evil Emperor Zurg from stealing crystallic fusion cells. Destroy Zurg’s secret weapon by shooting targets with your laser pistols and accumulating points. The target values from lowest to highest are circles, squares, diamonds and triangles. When lit, the values are increased... the ride features two confrontations with Zurg himself. Aim for the hidden target on Zurg between his breast plates just below the Z on his chest for extra points. Astro Blasters takes you to infinity and beyond!
