Since it's opening in 1955, Disneyland in Anaheim, California has been captivating the minds of both the young and the young at heart. "The Happiest Place on Earth" as Disneyland is billed, is filled with excited rides and shows. Joining Disneyland in 2001, Disney's California Adventure offers more rides and shows at this second theme park that, together with Disneyland, makes up The Disneyland Resort.

Soarin' Over California - this flight simulator takes thrill seekers on a hang glider ride over California. Flying high over the major cities, the Napa valley, the coast, orange groves (complete with orange grove smell), and eventually Disneyland, riders have the sensation of flying as the movie screen surrounds the hang glider that is suspended in mid air.

Indiana Jones Adventure: Temple of the Forbidden Eye - is a ride aboard a "jeep" into a temple recently discovered by Indiana Jones. Riders are in for a rough ride through the temple as they try to advice the wrath of the god Mara. This ride is in an enclosed, dark space and often at high speeds, so it often scary ride and is not advisable for small children.

Muppet Vision 3D - takes you on a 3D journey into the Muppet Laboratories where anything can, and usually does happen. This 3D movie has Dr. Bunsen Honeydew and his assistant, Beaker, demonstrating the newest Muppet technology, Muppets 3D. What ensues is 13 minutes of chaos and hilarity.

Park: Disney's California Adventure

Fantasmic - is a 25 minute spectacular presented on and around the Rivers of America. In the show, Mickey Mouse's imagination comes to life and the forces or good and evil, right and wrong battle. This amazing spectacle uses pyrotechnics, lasers, fire, water screens, and a cast of your favorite Disney characters to bring the story to life.

I was there last year and saw the theater and the sign was still up, even though I was the show a few years ago.

Snow White: An Enchanting Musical has not been at Disneyland for a couple of years now... it was replaced by the Princess Fantasy Faire even though most of the stage props are still in place.
