Disneyland
It's a fun 'Princess-style' storytelling, with a few more characters in it than just Jasmine/the Princess. It's fun to see at least once. The Oasis is themed and decorated really nice and ornate inside and out... and the stage the storytelling is presented on, IMO os one of most beautiful sights at DL that is rarely seen by most and off the beaten path.
I HAVEN'T SEEN IT.
The 'Revue' was retired many years ago... and the 'Variety show' was retired a few years ago. The always amazing Billy Hill & the Hillbillies are the
showcase in the western showplace and their shows I highly recommend.
In addition to the entertaining and hilarious show, just being in the gorgeous Golden Horseshoe Saloon is just worth it to see. It's amazing look and feel and historic atmosphere hasn't changed in decades...
The Golden Horseshoe, upstairs and down... feels very classic Disneyland to me.
The Billies are the icing on the cake.
The Mousetrap Overture rules!!
To me, F! is one of the absolute greatest shows ever performed on any stage ever, anywhere. And 15 years later of seeing many many shows... It's still my number 1 thing Disney has ever done.. anywhere.
Fantasmic! is much more than just Fantasia music, characters and visuals...
It goes deep into Mickeys imagination... and Disney classics old and newer are portrayed.
The ultimate Disney battle of good vs evil...
Awesome FX, incredible characters, unbelievably amazing music....
The ultimate Disney show. Over the years I have overheard dozens of people say after their first Fantasmic!... that it was worth the price of admission alone.
(Now I really wanna go see it tonight!! 
)
I really like PoD. Cool music, fun floats, cool show stops, and a lot of talent in the dancing, stunts and acrobatics.
I wasn't really a fan of the previous parade... the Parade of Stars.
To me PoD is really fun and entertaining.
I haven't liked a parade as much as PoD since Mulan at DL.
FIND A NICE SEAT NEXT TO THE BATHROOM NEXT TO ALICE FOR A NON-CROWDED FRONT ROW SEAT.
I'm addicted. Big time!
I love most dark rides, and I really
love BLAB.
Actually I
love Zurg too!
TRIANGLES...HIT LOTS OF TRIANGLES 
One of my all-time favorite queues... leading to one of my all-time favorite dark rides. A true Disney character or not... Rogers movie is fun, and Cartoon Spin is a really fun spinning dark ride.
THE ONLY RIDE AT DLR WHERE A 15 MIN. WAIT IS BETTER THAN FP, BECAUSE OF THE QUE.
To me... Autopia feels like older Disneyland. The DL of my childhood. It's simple, it's noisy, it's old
(even upgraded, it's old-feeling)...but there is just something about it. It feels old Tomorrowland, it feels TL of the past zen to me. It's really relaxing mentally to drive an Autopia car... It's hard to explain...
Modern times or not... driving an Autopia car is like stopping to smell the roses. It's a pleasure. Especially in todays faster speed/more thrills times.
It's a Disneyland classic. No matter how many other parks have car rides... This one was one of Walt's car rides. It still feels like it.
SORRY...TO ME IT'S JUST A BORING PUTT PUTT AUTO RIDE.
Many don't like the Tiki Room...
It's cool... it's really nicely air conditioned... and even more than Autopia.. the Tiki Room feels and sounds Walt Disney. The decor and theming, the music, the humor, the inventive and innocent jokes and gags, the character development, the at the time state of the art/ground breaking technology, the imagination and engineering, the simple pleasures, it's cute and imaginative and warm and inviting, a real escape from the strict real world, with Walt in total control of the mood, sound, visuals and the magic.
By the time the last song is sung... a true Sherman Bros classic... Which sounds SO Walt to me... I have a huge smile on my face. The Tiki Room to me fills me with even more appreciation for the incredible imaginative talent Walt Disney had.
I'm so happy it's still called Walt Disney's Enchanted Tiki Room.
An eternally fitting title... for a wonderfully entertaining attraction.
WONDERFULLY, PERFECTLY STATED & DOLE WHIP FLOATS BOUGHT FROM THE SHORT LINE IN THE WAITING AREA.
I don't ride Storybook much... and I actually pefer Casey Jr for the same views... but Storybook is cool. Simple. Cute. Relaxing. Fun. Beautiful.
I think
magically quaint.. is a good description.
IT IS INDEED MAGICALLY QUAINT...EVEN MORE SO IF YOU LOVE ALL WALT'S EARLY MOVIES.
Both are different experiences. They feel old DL. They feel old-time. Historic. Adventurous. American. They feel Walt Disney also...
I find them both relaxing. Physically and mentally. My last Columbia ride on Valentines Day was incredibly mentally relaxing. Even with some crying children near me on the very packed ship... it was zen. I felt so much better when I got off the Columbia then when I got on. And I really didn't expect it when I chose to ride. Seeing the Keel Boat and the old Natures Wonderland Mine Train also both make me smile inside. Cool histories, cool Yesterland attractions, cool props for theming and historic reflection.
Fun to ride if you are tired, or not in a hurry... or for the old-time theme immersion feeling.
Each vehicle is a fun ride in it's own way.. up or down Main St.
Try the upper deck of the Omnibus too!
Remember.... isn't just a fireworks show.
It's really an amazing world class attraction in itself...
Truly an E-Ticket in the Sky.
With the extra FX, pyro-choregraphy, subject matter, Tinker Bell and the ground breaking OMG visuals,
Remember... is quite possibly the best fireworks show on earth.
Or ever.
California Adventure
A fun 'draw a Disney character' show/workshop.
Classic Disney animation fun!
Draw your own cartoon and animate it in one of the spinners.
Find out which Disney character you are most like.
Add your speaking or singing voice to a Disney feature animation classic and see how you do at the surprisingly difficult task of cartoon voice-over work.
The theater has many seats, in a comfy cool atmosphere. And most kids sit upfront on the floor. So teens and adults have plenty of room.
I like Turtle Talk with Crush.
But I like Stitch Phone at DL inside Innoventions even more. It's more intimate, you get a free pic from Stitch that you pick up online... and I like Stitch more as a character than Crush. But Turtle Talk is fun.
I've even heard sometimes Crush gets some guests during his talks... but I haven't seen Dory or the whale yet.
I really like Colin Mocherie in general and I like sourdough bread.
But I really don't like Rosie O'Donnel and the 'tour' after the 1st time is really boring... so this is one of the things at DCA i don't really ever want to see again.
Free bread sample or not. I'll pass!
The tortilla 'tour' OTOH is really cool, very short and tasty!!
I
love this show. I will gladly sit thru it anytime I visit DCA or anytime anyone wants to.
It's fun. It's funny. It's dark. It's scary. It's Evil. It's HOPPER!!
To me this 8 minute good time -beginning to end- never gets old!
YEP...IT'S EVIL....I LOVE IT!
I like Muppetvision. I would have made it a little differently and had some different Muppets in it. But I still really like it.
Fun. Funny. Some great great characters, gags, laughs, FX.
And how can anyone not love Kermit the Frog, Statler & Waldorf, the Swedish Chef and an awesome audio-animatronic penguin orchestra!
Waldo the Spirit of 3D OTOH... is IMO pretty lame.
It's good once. It shows a lot of respect to many great great great people in the history of Caifornia.. and some disrespect by fudging some facts and history... and Whoppi makes the whole attraction annoying in my opinion.
The song and montage at the end is well done... and is a bit touching to some people. I find the end cool and honorable.
What leads up to the end, is ... ummm ... worth seeing once.
A great fun, funny, beautiful looking and amazing sounding musical.
Seen Aladdin about a dozen times now... still love it.
When the whole show is 'on' and everything is working...
Aladdin is a lot of fun!!
GREAT SHOW FOR ALL AGES. A $20-$25 SHOW IF YOU WERE BUYING A TIC IN YOUR HOMETOWN.
I'm really not a fan.
The music drives me totally bonkers.
