Now the moment you have been waiting for lets get to the Land details that i have been worked out in-depth for all of California Adventure destinations, ranging from fountains to benches. The First Land Detail is from Spanish Village.
(& Just to note, I don't know what Cast member outfits & Streetmosphere for Spanish Village could look like. If anyone has ideas for Cast member outfits & what Streetmosphere for each/some lands & for this land, then please be my guess to comment if you will, i would be happy to hear what their costumes & the streetmosphere could look like in the park. Thank You!)

Walkaround characters
The Famous Fab Five from the opening ceremony remain as Spanish Village’s walkaround characters, continually greeting guests throughout the day. Photo ops regularly occur at the Sunshine Circle and by the flagpole at the entrance plaza of the Spanish Village.
Restrooms
The first restroom is shared between City Hall & the main entrance of the Square alongside it. This way, guests enjoy restroom access before rope drop. The exterior, as seen from the Square, is a simple low-slung Spanish Revival facade built into the land’s bounding walls. The interior features tile mosaics depicting historic California.
A second restroom is found inside the San Angelos Bakery & the Tortilla Factory Building on the right. It too is a simple Spanish facade. The interior is identical to the first, with more mosaic artworks.
A third & final restroom is found near to the entrance to Hollywoodland in an Art Deco facade seemingly built.
Trolley Treats
Every “destination” in California Adventure features dedicated churro, popcorn & ice cream carts. Just like how Tokyo Disney Resort boasts specialty-flavor popcorn carts in every land, our carts do likewise with designer treat concoctions. It’s simply another special way to help California Adventure soar above the competition!
Spanish Village’s Popcorn & Churro carts are found somewhere next to the Entrance/Plaza & at the Hub & sometimes they walk their carts around like a ice-cream truck. At the Churro Cart, Churros here come filled with creamy caramel and coated in crispy, delicious cornflakes, & at the popcorn cart, this cart not only carries only butter popcorn but now it has different favorites you can choose from, from now Honey, Caramel & much more.
Drinking fountains
Fountains in our entry land are simply Spanish Village's variations on Main Street’s fountains, which helps subliminally connect California Adventure back to Disneyland.
Trashcans
Similarly, the trashcans here are simple normal or sometimes a Spanish Mission style on Disneyland’s designs.
Benches
Most benches are fashioned from metal and wood, done in a Spanish style.
Umbrellas
Umbrellas shadings here are the same but has Spanish Colors & Shapes.
Fencing
In addition to the stucco walls, low-lying fencing is done with wrought iron in a Spanish style similar to the benches.
Lighting
Most of Spanish Village’s lighting is hidden and recessed in the land’s structures. At night, the land has lightbulb/popcorn lights from sometimes the buildings, sometimes at the top of the roofs & to the trees like next door to Disneyland, but not in the Main Building at the Hub & the Main Entrance building. and the land is illuminate with the main building that hosts Golden Dreams in a beautiful grandeur.
Stroller corals & phone-charging stations
With fewer major attractions in our entry land, dedicated stroller corals are less necessary. Nonetheless, cast members will “taxi” guests’ strollers upon request.
The entry land’s cell phone recharging stations are found in some restaurants at every seat.
This concludes our initial walkthrough of Spanish Village. Coming Very Soon we will begin looking at the land's Guest Services, Attractions, Retail & Dining.
Guest Services

Guest relations center
Spanish Square Town Hall is California Adventure's “City Hall.” All-purpose guest relations services offered here include: General information, lost & found, guided tours, ADA info, park ticket changes and upgrades, foreign currency exchange, and a baby care center.

Just as Disneyland is defined by trains, California Adventure is defined by trolleys. The attraction features replicas of the Pacific Electric Railway's "Red Cars" that once traversed much of Southern California.
Trolleys run approximately every 8 minutes while the park is open. Unlike the Main Street Vehicles that travel through neighboring Disneyland, the Red Car Trolley runs all day, only briefly pausing service when a parade travels down Hollywood Boulevard.

Greeting Character Hub
C-ticket meet & greet
Come & meet beloved Disney characters at the Hub
Disney Park guests always expect meet & greet & take a picture by encounters with their favorite characters from the latest Disney (or Pixar, etc.) films. The Character Hub provides California Adventure with a dedicated meet & greet attraction able to accommodate all unanticipated upcoming characters & also to the Fab Five.
Golden Dreams
D-ticket Audio-Animatronic Show
Discover the Story about people who came to California—their dreams, their challenges, and their triumphs.
The Main Attraction of California Adventure, Golden Dreams is right inside the exact replica of the San Gabriel Mission Playhouse in San Gabriel, California. The building uses forced perspective to make a five-story building appear to be two and a half stories; there is a large ramp inside the attraction that slopes up, then down.
Golden Dreams is a quite similar show/attraction to The American Adventure in Epcot at Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida, but themed to California & This is certainly the most prominent feature in Spanish Village & to the whole California Adventure park.
(Lobby from Magellan's at Tokyo DisneySEA)
The start of the attraction & the main building begin when guests come inside the exact replica building of SGMPH & into the lobby is a square room that has an oval-shaped area in the middle with a dome-shaped ceiling with a painting of all California. Also Inside the lobby of the building its a huge statue but not a globe but instead about all things California. Include the iconic Bear like on the California, & down below featuring Surfers, & Beach Goers, Directors, Goldrushers & much more, & even a hidden mickey or Mickey Mouse at this statue.
(QUESTION TIME: If some of you know what could this statue at the lobby would look like could some of you give me some ideas & concepts if you could, of what could this statue would look like please.)
The walls contain quotes from famous Californian, which include Walt Disney & others, & Paintings of California life throughout history representing what this place is all about as the guest go upstairs or to elevator just to get to the theater.
In the upstairs lobby there is a full Painting/Mural of California life on the wall before they got into the Theater of the Attraction.
In the theater, there are 12 statues, Their is 6 statues on each side of the theater, that are spirits of California values personified & maybe having Walt Disney of the wall of statues on the right side inside the theatre, & once guests come fully inside, the announcer tell us the safety of the show & then the lights turns off & the curtain rising as the show begins.
RIDE STATS
Ride Type: Multimedia & Audio-Animatronic show

Theme: The History of California
Hourly capacity: 1024 per show
Duration: 20-25 minutes

Did you ask Douglas for permission to use the name and to rework the concept?
D Hulk
Well-Known Member
I'm OK with this, and I've given my blessing privately. What @HomeImagineer is doing is homage, not mere copying.
Beginning of Golden Dreams & Meet Queen Califia
As the lights dim. The Curtain begins to rise & the stage is designed like a dark empty Museum/Gallery as sparks ignite the statue & Califia statue comes to life as an Animatronic with the face and voice of Whoopi Goldberg, as she tells us the dream of California & then we begin our story of Golden Dreams.
Act 1: The Begin of California's Hopes & Dream
(13,000-1890)
The Story starts with the Native American Chumash tribe, who settled in California over 13,000 years ago. The Spanish missionaries arrive—and promptly experience an earthquake. A gold prospector during the California Gold Rush is unsuccessful until he gets a little help. Two of the 15,000 Chinese laborers who risked their lives to build the railroad—a father and his son—appear to be victims of an explosion. Irish immigrant William Mulholland brings water to “the little desert town of Los Angeles.” Thanks to the efforts of Scottish immigrant John Muir, Yosemite becomes a National Park. (Also by the way using that similar National Park scene from The American Adventure at Epcot)
Act 2: The Japanese comes to California & The Great Depression
(1853-1930s)
Act 3: Movie Making in Hollywood & The Begin of the Second World War
(1930's-1940s)
Act 4: The Rockin' 50's & The Happiest Place in California
(1950s)
In the 1950s, it’s television, tract homes, surfers and hula hoops. & then we went to Disneyland in 1955/56 when Walt Disney meets a person at the park who is so interested of the park that someone build. So Walt asked him of what's his name & what's about what this person's dream is about & Walt Disney tells him if he interested of working in Imagineering, He was delighted to go & work there.
Act 5: The Hippy 60s & An Little Helping Hand from Cesar Chavez
(Mid/Late 1960s)
In the 1960s, it’s the Summer of Love. Then Cesar Chavez leads the way toward rights for farm workers from Mexico.
Act 6: New Technologies in California & The Dream Kept Growing
(1976-Present)
Steve Jobs, who wants to sell a computer to everyone on the planet. A young Steve Wozniak shows a primitive personal computer prototype to a young Steve Jobs, telling Steve Wozniak to Dream On.
Throughout the attraction, Whoopi/Califia shows up to offer encouragement, help, and words of wisdom. For example, she helps the gold prospector by pointing and asking, “What’s that shiny thing?” She tells the Japanese couple, “Be strong.”
Reacting to Wozniak and Jobs, Califia/Whoopi advises, “Keep Dreamin’. Trust me on this one.” She bites into an apple. Califia knew what would happen with Apple Inc., but even she didn’t know that the late Steve Jobs would one day be the largest shareholder of The Walt Disney Company, thanks to Disney’s acquisition of Pixar.
Act 7: Just One Dream, Finale & Exit
As we end of Journey & the Story of California, Queen Califia tells them to keep those dreams alive, as we get to the main song of the attraction.
Accompanied by the song, “Just One Dream,” the movie ends with a montage of film snippets showing famous Californians, often in moments of great achievement. (Also i feel like not only we have Heather Headley & maybe another singing if anyone has one singer idea do to a duel singing of Just One Dream)
As Queen Califia tells everyone if their everything they ever need, she will let them know & she will be there by their side & tell them to take care of themselves, as we get into a grand climax finale's song Just One Dream & a similar ending Climax/Song to The American Adventure, as she walked to an California Desert to the Sunset as the Curtain begins to close in Pitch Black, The Lights come back on & we end our Golden Dreams Adventure of California as the announcer tells guest to exit to the ramp on their left, & right to the store or out the building.

Spanish Village - Dining
Mission Tortilla Factory
Hosted by Mission Foods
Counter service & attraction of the history of Tortilla
Tortilla Wraps, desserts and more
“In a park that showcases the diversity of the California culture and landscape, Mission Foods is proud to demonstrate the history and the making of the traditional food of ancient and modern Mexico—the tortilla.” That’s how the Mission Foods website describes this attraction.
It’s not a ride or a theater. It’s an authentic, working tortilla factory.
Before you enter the factory, admire it from the outside. This isn’t a storybook theme park building. The exterior, with its corrugated metal sides and rough timbers, looks fittingly industrial. The huge, cylindrical storage container on the left holds 14,000 pounds of corn flour, while the one on the right holds 15,000 pounds of wheat flour—enough to yield 408,000 corn tortillas and 390,000 flour tortillas, respectively (give or take a few).
Room 1 (Pre-Show)
Now step inside. The first part of your experience—the pre-show—is in a room with a large mural and an ornately framed video monitor. The mural depicts the Mayan god Hun Nal Ye bestowing corn upon the Mayan people—a momentous event in their history and culture.
Three children narrate a two-minute, animated video, “The Story of the Tortilla,” about the origins and importance of corn and tortillas in the Aztec, Olmec, and Mayan cultures of Mexico. Among other things, the children explain, “Some even worshipped corn as a god,” and, “According to Mayan legend, the tortilla was invented as a gift to the king.”
You’ll learn that, thanks to the invention of Maseca corn flour, tortillas are better than ever. (According to Mission Foods, “Maseca is the secret behind the incredible taste, consistency and quality of Mission corn tortillas.”)
Room 2: (The Pepper-Ghost Effect/Peek-In Windows)
The doors open to the next room. There are more murals and four peek-in windows. Take a look. Ghostly little video people populate vignettes within the windows. Watch them grind the corn with traditional stone tools and form tortillas by hand. Then step to the right to another window to watch a more recent kitchen scene. Yes, tortillas have long been the Hispanic staple of life.
Room 3 (Tortilla Making Room / Production Line)
Now that you’ve learned the proud origins of the tortilla, it’s time for the third part of your tortilla experience. Step into the Production Line room. You get to watch the entire process on a short walking tour—from fresh dough to tasty tortillas. It’s not a big factory, but it is a working tortilla facility. The line on your right makes flour tortillas. The one on your left makes corn tortillas. The output is used by restaurants here at the park.
At the far end of the Production Line room, you reach the fourth and final part of your tortilla experience—a chance to learn more about Mission Foods and to discover new ways to use tortillas at the Demonstration Kitchen, also known as the restaurant of the Tortilla Shop. Toward the end of your visit you’ll learn even more about the leader of the “tortilla revolution”… Mission Foods. Devoted to technological innovation, Mission uses technology not only to reduce costs, but to increase product quality and consumer satisfaction. These innovations are one of the most interesting aspects of the Mission Tortilla Factory. And Watch as Mission Foods chefs preparing traditional Mexican and contemporary California recipes using genuine Mission Tortillas. The chefs at Demonstration Kitchen produce tasty looking dishes. Tortillas are the perfect ingredient for any meal (breakfast, lunch, or dinner) and any course (appetizer, main course, or dessert).
I hope the Tortillas made you hungry, well i do. I made a Peanut Butter & Banana Tortilla/Wrap with a glass of milk for snack & it was Delicioso, that means Delicious in Spanish. Well it Tortilla for some of you are not your favorite dish, then how about some Sourdough Bread give you on the mind instead, Well i think the place that you are going to love in the next recipe then Tortillas.

San Angelos Bakery
Counter service restaurant & Self-Guided Sourdough Bread Factory Tour
Coffee, bakery items & Sourdough Bread
The whole Bakery shop is inspired by Southwestern Artists ASSN at the Spanish Village Art Center Balboa Park in San Diego & inside feels similar to the Baker’s Field Bakery that was at DCA in 2001 because of all of that Spanish Mission Design.
Whether you’re looking for a simple cup of freshly brewed House Blend coffee, an icy cold Malibu Mocha Frappé, an exotic tea, or something else, you should find something you like on the beverage menu. This isn’t just a place to drinks, then their are other things like get cookies, muffins, and pastries; it’s also a place to get meals. How about a grab-and-go salad or sandwich? But we can't forget in the Bakery without Sourdough Bread, In this famous bread its still the most favorite breads in all of California. You can get yourself an Sourdough Grilled Cheese or how about an Sourdough Bowl that is filled with your favorite kind of soup in it.
(Beautiful Painting/Mural on the casher's service wall)
A mural of the California Zephyr splashing across a flooded track in front of Yosemite Falls dominates the wall behind the counter. It’s a montage of California images. The California Zephyr crossed the Sierra Nevada Mountains through Feather River Canyon, not through the Yosemite Valley.
This Bakery not only hold as a counter service restaurant, its by the way also an attraction on to it self similar to the Mission Tortilla Factory but for Sourdough Bread.
After entering the building, a Disney cast member hands out two pieces of sourdough bread per person. The attraction includes a room with interactive stuff, Facts about bread & a video screen in front as the Pre-Show, in which Rosie O'Donnell & Colin Mochrie talk about the history of the bread. After this, The Doors open & guests are able to walk through hallways where they can look through glass windows at a real bakery facility and see sourdough bread being made.
Then guest exit out to the doors or right to the restaurant to get some nice Sourdough Bread or some other bakery treats & snacks from your hunger. Now for something small for a snack, So everybody, To the Trolley Carts.

The park’s largest selection of merchandise
The Store is inspired by the Santa Barbara Station in Santa Barbara, California.
San Missions Department Store has a lot of California Adventure merch from their logo or even the lands of DCA, as well for a little of Disneyland Resort merch.
We can't forget about the store’s prominent window display: It is a character tableaux, similar to those at Main Street’s Emporium.

Hollywoodland
Traveling down Hollywoodland & Become a Famous Star
TIMELINE: 1930's/1940s
Hooray for Hollywood! Follow the trolley tracks down Hollywood Boulevard into an area that brings back the Golden Age of Hollywood and hosts attractions in this land based on film, television & theater. This area is hosted into three sub-areas: Hollywood Boulevard, Hollywood Studios (Muppet Courtyard, The Backlot & Toon Studios) & Twilight Alley.
This is essentially also a mini version of classic Disney-MGM Studios at Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida. A bit of the Hollywood that never was and always will be. It feels like that i want to listen Celluloid Heroes by The Kinks, as I'm walking down the Boulevard.

I wonder what Roger Rabbit's Toontown Transit Adventure is going to be about it? Will the simulator ride will have non-Disney characters such as Bugs Bunny and Betty Boop cameos in it too?
I don't know yet.
Hollywoodland - Attractions
Great Moments at the Movies
E-Ticket Omnimover Dark Ride
Journey into historic films in the 20th century on the greatest ride in Hollywoodland.
HEIGHT REQUIREMENT
The attraction employed the use of Audio-Animatronic figures, practical sets, special effects, & projections to recreate iconic scenes from classic films throughout motion picture history.
The Attraction is located inside the replica of Grauman's Chinese Theatre, one of Hollywood's most famous movie palaces & fact that its almost close to the real one that is almost 40 mins away in Los Angeles. Yeah the ride is almost like a clone like from Disney's Hollywood Studios in Florida because of all the AAs, sets, music, etc, well almost a clone, but the fact is sometimes its not. For example, instead of using an Automated guided vehicles (AGV) system because the building of the ride is huge, they used an Omnimover Ride
system.
FastPass distribution is found at the entrance of the ride & at the front of the Chinese Theatre.
FastPass machines are made from almost like ticket booths from the two windows of the Chinese Theatre.
Queue - Inside the Lobby
The queue begins when guests come inside the replica of Grauman's Chinese Theatre & go through a recreation of the Theatre's lobby & past some glass display cases containing actual costumes, props, and set pieces from various films & The lobby also featured posters of various motion pictures, all of this is similar to the ones from Florida.
The queue then took guests into a small pre-show theatre where some various motion pictures & film genres—such as musicals, adventure, science-fiction, westerns, romance, & gangster films— including those films that were featured within the ride.
Loading - Entering to the Movies
The queue line ended at the doors from the front of the theatre that lead into the soundstage features a large neon theatre marquee and a cyclorama of the 1930s-era Hollywood Hills complete with the original Hollywoodland Sign similar to the one from Florida & Where guests were loaded onto an moving Omnimover system. Guests load onto almost like an theatre-style seating vehicle with 4-6 per person, and pull down on their lapbars as the car kept moving into an neon theatre marquee & guest start journeying right into Great Moments at the Movies.

Ride Experience - The Town of Musicals
