Disney Hacks Episode 30

On this week’s show we dive deep into the history of one of Disney’s most storied parks. No park has transformed more in its life than Disney California Adventure. We go over what it was like on launch day, how it had the worst ever Disney attraction and how it evolved into something much better today.

Plus we’ll discuss Disneyland news including when they will allow non-California residents, how the Disneyland Hotel is coming back with a refresh and when the Jungle Cruise is returning. Plus Joe talks about Universal’s mask rules and Disney indicates park pass reservations and virtual queues are here to stay.

Disney Hacks Episode 30 – Bottom Line

Disney California Adventure is near and dear to both of our hearts and I hope this history gave you an idea of how DCA 1.0 failed and why it is such an amazing park today. While I did enjoy DCA on some level from the beginning, I think it is so much better today. What do you think?
