You've probably heard about it, and in case you've never been there and wondered what it's like, come take this ride with me to Disney. After posting The Ferris Wheels I've Visited, I was reminiscing about the good times I went to the parks and decided on keeping on reminiscing with more photos, but rather than doing that alone, I want to share those with you guys today.
Fun facts about me, I consider myself a HARD-CORE Disney fan. Here's my embarrassing evidence. One of my biggest dreams is to visit all the Disneylands (-world, -sea, or whatever they have) in the world. And so far out of 6, I've been to 5 of them, some I visited actually multiple times. I also used to work at Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando.
But today's post, it's about the time I went to Disney California Adventure Park in California, USA, just BY MYSELF. (By the way, as I go through the post, I'll leave you some tips that I wish someone would tell me before I went there.) First tip: Don't go there alone. It'll get kinda lonely and the pictures aren't as great when you ask a stranger to take them for you.
Here is the map of the Park. Every Disney Park has different sections like this.

Brief information about Disney California Adventure Park (DCAP), It is a theme park located at the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, California. It is owned and operated by The Walt Disney Company. The park first opened in 2001 and is the second of two theme parks built at the Disneyland Resort complex, after Disneyland Park. And after 20ish years, this is what the entrance looks like.
I recommend you purchase a ticket beforehand. It's better to just go in than wasting time getting in line for tickets. Even if already have a ticket, it'll still be a long line to go in.
This is the first zone to walk through called "Buena Vista Street".

Walking inside. Oh right, I gotta tell you, that I went there in November so they were in this "Festival of Holidays" theme, which they decorated for the upcoming holiday, Christmas.
You have to really be careful here, don't let the peaceful-looking street fool you, because along these streets there are dangerous souvenir shops, so dangerous that you can't stop yourself and are tempted to buy everything in front of you before you even get to the rides. So tip #2 is just do that before you leave the park, not when walking right in
Like these cute ears.
Back in a street, characters were greeting you, like Dopey here from Snow White and the 7 dwarfs.
I decided to visit the "Avengers Campus" first. The reason is that it's the unique zone that only exists here in DCA.
across the entrance, there's this waterfall.
The main attraction of this zone is the "Guardians of the Galaxy-Mission: BREAKOUT", which is like a "tower of terror" attraction in other parks. You sit in the ride and then get dropped down the tower.
But "my" main attraction of this zone is the interactive ride called "WEB SLINGERS- the Spider-Man Adventure", Before I came, I read that the wait time for this ride is the longest one, so that's tip#3: it's best to go to the busiest ride as soon as possible. Later you go, it's only gonna get busier and more crowded.
This is what the building looks like. I was in such a hurry to get in line so I borrowed the photo from their official website. source
To get in line, you can pick between going Single Rider or Stand-By Entrance. Stand-by entrance is normal, you go wait in line and get to be seated with your friends, Meanwhile, single rider entrance means you might be sitting with other people to fill the space in the ride. Sometimes you won't be seated with your friend. The good thing is though the Single Rider is always shorter.
Once you get in, you'll get to read and enjoy the detailed decorations along the way, so even though it's long, you'll have something to see. These are some photos that I took from that. This one introduces us to the characters, who we will see in the ride.
You'll know that you're close to the actual ride by seeing some video like this, explaining what you'll see and be doing in the ride.
So Peter Parker (Tom Holland) here showing us the situation and he'll need our help.
He was working with Wakanda and the Stark Industry to create this spider, that can repricate themselves.
Things started to get messier when there were too many spiders.
Peter refused to call Mr.Stark and decided to let us help him contain the spiders.
This sign tells us how to "Sling the web" from the ride.
Then after a little bit more of walking. You'll receive a "Vision Goggle", which are 3D glasses, so you can see the what they displayed/showed in the ride. All those projected display wouldn't actually make any sense if you don't wear it.
This is how the ride looks. So, you'll get seated in this "cabin" and enjoy the ride.
It was really fun. An interactive 3D ride in hundreds of spider robots comes at you and you have to shoot them, which I think it's better not to show and spoil it to you. So, you get the full experience inside. At the end of the ride, you can see your score too. I did it so badly so I'll just keep it to myself how much I did.
I actually planned to tell you about one more ride but seems like I'm out of space right now, so let's move that to the next post that I could tell you about other rides and other zones of the part. Anyway, Thank you for joining me and let me know in the comments if anything confuses you.
Khob khun kaa,
Nomnomnoodle 🍜
Felt like a dream place for most of the people
Especially if you are hard-core Disney fan like me hahaa
I am sure somebody have this dream to visit this place once in a life, including me. Though in my country they try to create a small version of Disney. Have a nice day
In Thailand, sometimes they organize Disney events, but I guess in SEA country like us, just too hot of a weather and not worth the money, I think.
Your tip for "WEB SLINGERS-the Spider-Man Adventure" is very good, but I don't know if I'll ever go there, I hope I will visit this place in future and your tip will come to my mind😜
It was a post I enjoyed reading, a really quality presentation. It has already gotten the recognition it deserves and I hope it gets even better! 🥂
Thank you so much both for stopping by and for such an encouragement. It really made my day to know what I wrote can potentially be helpful out there. :))
