Disney's California Adventure Expansion

As many of you might know, there is a great expansion happening at California Adventure and some of which have come to pass already, and are slowly making its way into the park. I went at the beginning of the summer, and the usually huge plaza, is under construction, as well as the new entrance to the park to resemble when Walt Disney came to California in 1920.

The construction of the main plaza is supposed to reflect that of 1920's with red cable cars that used to run through Los Angeles. There is also the Carthay Circle Theatre which will be built which was where Snow White and the Seven Dwarves was premiered in Los Angeles.

Many other expansions are the Little Mermaid's Under Sea Voyage (see post below), Toy Story Mania, which premiered a couple years ago with the first responding and interactive animatronic. Mr. Potato Head.

This animatronic talks to you and tells you jokes, and actually gives not the best response when he is ignored. So make sure to interact with him when you go to the park. Voiced by the actor of Mr. Potato Head in the Toy Story films, Don Rickles,

They also added, removing the Orange Peel swings, replaced it with Mickey's Silly Symphony Swings, which has Mickey in his concert attire on the top of the attraction. Silly Symphony was actually the name of the production company at a time, as seen in the short "Goddess of Spring" which Disney animators put together while creating Snow White to test the animating of people.

The last big attraction they plan to bring to the parks...CARS LAND. Set to come out in 2012, The large rocks that make Radiator Springs can already be seen from Bug's Land. So be sure to be on the look out for that. For more information or what the attractions are, see the video below.

The other expansion which has already been in effect for a while is the World of Color. Which has been a big success for the park since its premiere in 2010.

So what are you looking forward to in this expansion? Let us know on the comments below, and make sure to follow us on Twitter @DlandInsider!
