What's so bad about California Adventure?

[Another^Dimension]

In the many times I've been to DCA (and it's in the hundreds), I have never once seen anything like you are describing.

I completey echo that statement and I really like a lot of DCA's CM's.
The Screamin' crew and the ticket taker CM's are especially wonderful.


I've also been to DCA literally hundreds of times since 2001.
Have I seen less than perfect CM's?
Of course. Seen 'em at DL too.
Especially during the labor shortages of summer '05 and '06... when TDA would hire anyone not a felon or a tattooed sideshow performer ...


But I have never had a bad day at DCA.


Across the internet I have read about some people who don't like (read: actually hate ) DCA's attractions , but those extremely similar (and in many times DCA's newer technology, newer version and newly updated) attractions are almost always unquestionably 'all part of the perfection of WDW parks', but at DCA many people say they are just not up to Disney standards.


I love DCA, it just needs longer hours, another coaster or two (Mmmm corkscrews), some more dark rides (another is on the way) , a couple more Disneyland-length & scope E-tickets, more trees and more entertainment.

The recent entertainment cuts were absolutely horrible!


I spend, at times, much fun time at DCA, as well as DL.
Some DCA days I don't visit DL at all.
Some DL days I don't visit DCA at all.


All those days have been magically A-ok with me!

I have seen this too.

O.k. just my opinion. We live in California and have annual passes, unfortunatly we live like 8 hours away so we go about 1 - 3 times per year depending. We did go 4 months after the park DCA opened. I was very disappointed of the actual lack of disney. My son was 2 and there was basically nothing for him to go on except Bugs Life, Muppets 3d and some of you remember Superstar Limo, and the carousel. That's it!!!! I could not believe these poor people who brought their kids in and paid the price and for what 4 rides? We were so upset. We were there 8 days and only wen't into DCA 3 times. On the other hand, we have given it a try every visit. I have to admit they quickly fixed the issue of kids rides adding in A Bugs Land, Now monsters Inc. And now my son is tall enough to ride everything except Ca. Screamin and the orange zinger. Now that he can ride more I have since re-evaluated my opinion. I do still think there is a sence on disney lacking. However bringing in copycat rides like T.O.T. have proven to be great for those of you who haven't riden the one at MGM studios. However for me I have riden both and MGM's version is much better. I think they are trying to turn the park around and they do have a few E ticket rides. But for the most part my heart still belongs to Disneyland. Unfortunatly for me DCA is a quick break when Disney gets overpacked. I hope someday my feeling will change. We'll be there OCT. 8 - 10. I'll let you know if I feel different.
