California Adventure vs. Parking Lot

[Kram Sacul]

The parking lot is the original huge open area of concrete that was the prototype for the Florida theme parks.

It’s kind of sad that they didn’t get around to installing the Astroturf.

DCA failed from the moment it stopped being Westcot.

Don't @ me.

 

[Sharon&Susan]

This beats anything at DCA

I was at disneyland paris recently, and ignoring the studio park, Yes, I prefer it as a parking lot. And I wish DTD and grand californian weren't there. The resort grounds and the approach to the gates could be so much more beautiful.

Wasn't that proposed for Port Disney in Long Beach?

 

[Californian Elitist]

Apologies, I didn't know I wasn't allowed to take a jab at California

Who said you weren’t allowed?

Take the jabs, but I’ll be right behind you, responding.

Wasn't that proposed for Port Disney in Long Beach?

Yes. Yes it was.

You can blame the City of Long Beach, the California Coastal Commission and various environmentalist organizations like the Surfrider Foundation for killing that one.

DCA is far from perfect, but I'll take it over a parking lot. There's plenty of good attractions and atmosphere stuffed in between a couple of dogs. Makes for a good park hopper park.

I just spent over two weeks with nearly 70% of my body covered in poison ivy. I think my yard should get Astroturf before Disney does.

"I liked it better as a parking lot.." - John Hench

Indeed.

With that aside....
DCA is much better now then it was in its earlier years.
The retheme of Condor Flats, adding Buena Vista Street, and Cars Land definitely improved things.

Pixar Pier on the other hand....

Can the place just be quintessential disney next summer outside of star wars? How long must one wait to see remember... dreams come true and ride haunted mansion in the same day?

The days before they made you wear a five point harness to ride in the trams.
