Disney California Experience

This was almost like another Disneyland only more focused on rides. They also had more parades featuring the Pixar characters such as the Toy Story cast.

Rafting ride
We had wanted to try rafting for quite some time but had never got round to it. This ride seemed to be a mini intro until we get our hands on the real thing.
It wasn't all that hair raising as i'd expect proper rafting to be but as far as rides were concerned it was good enough I guess.

Soaring over California
This ride lifted you up in the air in your seat and flies you through an imax film of California's sights. I nearly lost my shoes! Worth a look, pretty good fun and almost like really being there.

Disney Drawing School
We popped into the mini studio tour where they had a whole load of artwork on display. I love seeing all that concept art. We also took part in a drawing class where we learnt to draw Winnie the Pooh with some Disney artists. This was a good laugh as we didn't know which part was what until the end.

Bugs Life 4d
You'd think that after so many 4d rides we'd be bored but once again this was loads of fun and different to any of the others. They took you through Flik's show where loads of other characters played a part. They had a few little surprises rigged up with the seating which is always a hoot.

All in all, Disneyland California needed another day of sight seeing in itself. There was loads more to see. We however had some more VMK quests to complete in Disneyland main park so we went back in.
