The 10 Best Things to do Good for Adrenaline Seekers 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.

We had a wonderful time there! It was not supposed to be crowded, according to crowd calendars, but I did think it was quite busy and some lines were long, which makes it difficult with two very young kids. It is natural to compare with Orlando and the possibility of getting Fastpass for almost everything (which does not happen at Disneyland!), so in that sense we could not go to all the rides we wanted to as it would be too tiring for the kids, but we definitely enjoyed it a lot and we were able to go to many. Since a lot of the rides do not have a minimum height limit, we really enjoyed a lot of options! We really enjoyed Buzz Lightyear (it is definitely one of our favorite ones - we got to go twice on the same day!) and the classicals like Small worls, Dumbo, Storybook Canal, Finding Nemo, Space Mountain (single rider line was really helpful as only my husband and I could go and we needed to go separately!) Highlight for the kids was Toontown!!! They loved every bit of it and had major fun to greeting the characters (including Goofy and Pluto that were just walking around!!!!)

Warning- you will get wet no matter where you sit, It is just a matter of "how wet". Fun ride-you climb into a circular raft that fits about eight. The raft takes you up until you hit a series of water falls and dips. Meanwhile the raft will move in circles as it hits certain areas so everyone is likely go over the falls backwards at least once. Depending on the weight in the raft more or less water will splash into the raft. We (group of five-4 adults and one grandchild age eight) rode with three teenagers we had never met. This ride will cause everyone in the raft to interact and have a blast. Suggestions: 1. Obviously, not a wonderful ride on a cold day or night. 2. Can get crowded, particularly on warm days, so use a max pass to avoid the lines. 3. If you really want to try to stay dry, where a poncho. 4. Try to keep your feet as high up on the center console as possible to avoid getting your shoes and socks soaked. By all means, you must ride this attraction- I would have been happy to ride it continuously for half a day at least.

Thunder Mountain has been a staple of Frontier Land for many years. Essentially it is a short roller coaster ride that is enjoyable for all ages. There is a height minimum; my eight year old grandson easily met the requirements and enjoyed the ride. It is fast and does encounter ups/downs/turns and jolts. As a senior citizen I could have done without the jolts; but to see my grandson's joy made up for any pain. Line on a weekday was not bad.

This was an exhilarating ride. There were two small drops which drenched my jeans. The final drop must have been around 50 feet. That was scary and really got the adrenaline pumping. That soaked me completely right down to my underwear. Good fun.

Soarin’ Around the World is an absolute must experience for ages 2-100! Fast passes are recommended but if you don’t have one, the stand by line moves pretty quickly. After the flight attendant, Patrick, welcomes you and gives instructions, you are escorted into a large room with 9 vehicles (multi passengers) that lift guests into the air over a gigantic IMAX screen. You will experience gentle motion, scents and wind effects as you soar over the Great Wall of China, Matterhorn in the Swiss Alps, Australia’s Sydney Harbor, Neuschwanstein Castle in Germany, Eiffel Tower in Paris and more! The fireworks finale at Disneyland has a hidden Mickey.

I have always loved this ride. The special effects are first class and the ride was spectacular. You will get banged up a little but that is part of the fun. To avoid the long lines, get in the single rider line if available. I would strongly advise to purchase the speed pass. It is well worth the cost.
