Disney's California Adventure Grand Opening 2.8.2001

On February 8, 2001, Disney's California Adventure opened to the public. The Grand Opening ceremony was a stunning visual display and included several Disney legends. The park has changed dramatically since then, including the famous CALIFORNIA letters being removed. Take a journey to the past with this full ceremony video.

The end result, people hated this park because it was so small. Thankfully, a decade later it was fixed and has the same love as the other park next door

[@SlushysSecret]

They just need to change the name beca it doesn’t fit the park anymore

I can see why people made fun of this park, it had no identity and it was too redundant

[@Snooziac™]

All this malarkey for a mediocre theme park that still has an identity crisis going on. lol
