- Join Richard Kind and Barry Bostwick (Spin City) as they trek through Disney's California Adventure theme park to find the (then) Disney CEO Michael Eisner, but two bumbling security guards ("Whose Line Is It Anyway's" Colin Mochrie and Brad Sherwood) are right on their tail to apprehend them. A whole slew of movie and TV stars accompany the journey as Richard and Barry discover their own "California Adventure".
This program aired January 2001 on ABC; one month before the opening of the park.
DCA is probably the most unique out of Disney's theme parks in that it has changed more drastically within a single decade than any other!
Your not wrong.
When it opened superstar limo was boring and it wasn't Disney's fault in why it sucked
Yeah, it used to be the butt end of many jokes on tv.
It’s almost unrecognizable now .

The Disney park so good that they'd have to build it twice!
Iger fixed it.
@@danielmoorefield4891 less fixed, more put a bandaid on it. Having multiple lands heavily focused on IPs will hurt the park in the long run, especially as those IPs start losing appeal to a larger audience where those IP focused lands lose a lot of their charm.

@@danielmoorefield4891No Michel Isner Fixed It
I love how Richard and Barry not only walked into the California Screamin queue, probably waited about 10-25 minutes and then got onto the actual coaster train without knowing or deducing that it could possibly be a Rollercoaster. And also the Cast member didn't even correct them when they thought it was a shuttle. She knowingly subjected them to it.
I love how they kept saying that it's right next to disneyland as if to say if you think this one sucks, HEY DISNEYLAND IS RIGHT THERE LET'S GO THERE INSTEAD! And so they did.
Yeah
This is the park i grew up at!
Remember when everyone everywhere couldn't stop talking about those wacky guys mistaking soap opera actors for the characters they play, it was one of those definitive moments in comedy history.
90% of those things don't exist anymore.
Lol
Golden zephyr grizzly rapids and jumping jellyfish were still there
Anybody wanna play "IS IT STILL THERE"?
Harry Shoemaker I do
YES
First one to get alcohol poisoning wins!!!

Wow! Wow! Wow! What a fun show!, this was a take off on the old 1960's Disneyland
TV shows of the late 1960's. How much has changed in this park!

California adventure in 2001-2014 was the best. I really miss it :(
I miss the original golden gate bridge, the maliboomer, the original soaring, the music, plus the big letters in the front.... new rides are awesome I just wish they would've kept the California theme
Soarin over Cali gave me so much love for my home state as a lil kid.... inspired me to go out and adventure this beautiful country we live in
I’ve never seen a single theme park undergo more changes than to DCA in such a short time frame.
These cheesy nostalgic videos make my soul so happy!!
Wow, even with how much I love the park and how it is now, I will always kinda miss the original California Adventure
It's AMAZING how much this place has changed! Wow!!!
WHY’D you use CAPITAL LETTERS?!
What place you mean paradise pier well there is no paradise pier anymore instead there is pixar pier and what happened to California screamin you may ask now it is the incrdicoaster

@@dietcheese2546SHUT UP!?
Amazing how much the park has changed
Next year is the 15th anniversary of Disney California Adventure
+Stephanie Routh And it's an almost completely different park from the day it opened.
people saying eisner was the worst ceo but w/ out him we wouldnt have indiana, star wars, splash mountain etc like you guys seem to forget that he brought in the franchises and ideas for teens to enjoy so disney wont grown old
Eisner actually did do a pretty good job as Disney's CEO during his first 10 years in the position (1984-1994). It wasn't until shortly after Frank Wells (Disney's President during that time) died around the release of The Lion King that Eisner started to let the power go to his head and most of the more infamous decisions that Disney made under his leadership (such as building this very park on a laughably low by Disney standards budget) started occurring.
bo deflop he did built Disneyland Paris, Hong Kong Disneyland, Tokyo DisneySea, Disney California Adventure, Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and Disney’s Animal Kingdom; plus Disney Cruise Line, acquiring ABC and ESPN, a movie deal with Pixar, and the Disney animation renaissance in the 90s before Pixar dominated the 2000s
At least Eisner build the world famous California Screamin’. The coaster that most likely made children like myself into long time coaster enthusiasts. Much better than Iger’s and Chapeck’s incredicoaster
Eisner was a fool when the mid-to-late 2000s came in. I used to think he was a good guy growing up, especially when California Adventure first opened in 2001, but when he made a foolish decision on trying to get rid of Pixar completely from Disney (claiming Disney doesn't need Pixar to make great animated films and that they can do CG on their own), he became a lost cause to me. Glad Bob Iger replaced him and had the studio buy Pixar in 2006. I trust him.
twist58 Eisner may have done some good things but he was never a "good guy".
Cameron Hinkle I started to think he was NEVER a good guy by the time 2002 rolled in. I now understand why Roy Disney never liked him neither.
iger is the worst CEO disney has had yet... all he sees are dollar signs, disney has become extremely artificial bc of him example? FROZEN
bo deflop I see it, but it doesn't change my views that much on Iger. I still stand by him, unlike what Eisner could NEVER do.
bo deflop fuck you! He's way better than Michael Eisner! You are a fool!
It felt so cool n relax in that theater
Also my theory is that Disney C-A (the park) was made as one of those "win back the crowd" things as Disneyland hadn't got as much popularity as Walt Disney World ever since Disney has been hyping up that WDW is "as big as Manhattan" _despite that Disneyland CAME FIRST_
So many times I felt sleep in this attractions after a long Disney day lol
I actually really liked this park on opening day, but that’s probably because I was 6 at the time. Looking back, it was super cheesy, the park is so much better now.
True. If I wanted to see the Golden Gate Bridge, then I would go to San Francisco. I wasn't a fan particularly of Superstar Limo. It was a very obnoxious ride.
I missed disneyland so much
Ah yes, the late 90's/early 2000's Disney Channel. There was: Honey I Shrunk the Kids tv series, Even Stevens, Lizzie Maguire, That's So Raven. All shows that I thought were pretty damn enjoyable. Not to forget, Boy Meets World repeats and the awesome cartoon RECESS. This was pre- Hannah Montana era, before the channel went to shit.
I agree disney back then was good then came hannah Montana and all other terriable sitcoms.
Was This Zoog Disney Where This Program Aired In 2001?
@@jvargas6034 Yes.
Barry is like Gaston...wow, even Disney was calling him an asshole. (Points if you get it)
25:46 The ending song of It's Tough to be a bug! where the Butterfly covers when the show is Done and Flik leaves.
I actually liked the way DCA looked with the sunshine theme, the train, the wave thing at the plaza and hearing the beach boys and jan and dean. Not to mention the Golden Gate bridge. It was cool...but that's just my take.
Same, I feel that now that they updated it, they took away lots of the aspects from the park that made it feel like California, even Soaring over California is gone. It's now been changed to around the world.
Also I think that they should’ve not removed the big letters that spell out CALIFORNIA in front of the entrance. It looked fine there.
I want to go to paradise pier because i never been there but i can not because now there is pixar pier there at least is some of California screamin like the ride track and tunnels but the rest of it is the incrdicoaster and the incrdicoaster is cool but not cool enough
I just miss soarin over California :( the update isn’t as good at this park (I feel like it’s better at wdw)
@@Emily-jy1ym I miss that more than anything...it should stay Soarin' Over California to keep OUR park original.
I allways loooooooved the enchanted book, and whole animation room
41:01 dat scenery tho...
So nostalgic ☺️☺️
Colin Mochrie and Brad Sherwood!!!
37:32 probably my fav scene from this special
Was the Michael Eisner scene
I wish I was the big cheese 🫕 this is the big cheese 🧀
This park has really changed I missed disneyland so much and dca.
I really miss the 90s
This was 2001 though..
@@dereknight861 I stand corrected.
But Richard Kind, Barry Bostwick and Colin Mochrie are late 90s television personified.
HEY TRAVEL FRIENDS -- No Matter Whats On The Air Ways To day Its Still WONDERFUL To Watch A DISNEY SHOW ... A Special Thanks To WALT DISNEY For All You've Given Us!
This was too funny
I bet that look on Richard's face at 3:54 was meanning that he was thinking not how wonderful is this park but how horrible it was!
He was right when he said it is the beginning of a beautiful theme park, look at it now!
the screams from 31:41 are from rollercoaster tycoon 2
LOL yup they always use that sound effect in various films/shows.
0/10 no superstar limo
Is that the ride that's replaced by monsters inc now?
Yes.
Considering that this TV special is basically a 42 minute long infomercial for the entire park and was originally aired the day before it opened, it's quite telling that it's *only* dark ride at the time got *no* mention whatsoever. It's almost as if Disney was already embarrassed of that dud of a ride before it even opened! XD
@@jonkimberson3253 yes
22:40 she says code 1401 now if you recall the star tours 2 flight # is 1401 this is a little significant number in disney cause the studios address is at
Walt Disney Imagineering
1401 Flower Street
Glendale, CA 91221
Man I would love to see @tony goldmark do a review of this! DCA 1.0 was such a odd park 🤣
I'm glad DCA way more Disney in it now ^__^
I think now it has the opposite problem, not enough California. Around 2012 there was a nice balance I think.
I live in Anaheim & before it got All the new rides like now, this place was terrible
Michael Ochoa today's DCA is far better than before. I remember I was bored when it first opened back in 2001.
What possessed them to spend so much time and money on Soap Operas, I know kids were so excited to come see that!
I love the California Screamin' part, with the audio playing in the background! :)
+BryceFourn 2001 I love California Screamin! It's the best ride at California Adventure! =D
+BowserLover92 IF not one of the best rides in the world. I've been on a lot of roller coasters and it's in my top 5!
RIP California Screamin' 😢
I wished I was there when disney California adventure opened.
So nostalgic🤗🤗
OMG the flashbacks!!
39:43 - “You know Mickey, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful theme park.”
Yeah because this won’t cost your entire career Michael!
I wish they do things like this now
Anyone watching this because there going!?
Colin Mochrie and Brad Sherwood!
If I was in charge of the whole Disney company then I would bring back the following rides and areas:
Soarin’ Over California
Condor Flats
Tower of Terror
California Screamin’
Paradise Pier
And I also wanted to include the California Letters that used to be at the entrance of the park but I couldn’t because Disney donated them to a place called Cal Expo in Sacramento.
Omg thank u for uploading! I remember this
Idk the yr but I do remember going to this at its original states b4 it changed into what it is now.
I'm glad this changed. Even though I'm a huge Disney fan, the DCA at that time wasn't as good as Disneyland
THAT GUY IN THE GRAY IS THE VOICE OF BING BONG OH MY GOD
For real?? Omg I need to look at his IMDB now!!
Brookiee1401 yeah it's awesome I love Bing Bong
Brookiee1401 OMG I NEVER NOTICED
the voice is Richard Kind. he voiced in Pixar movies like A Bug's Life, Cars, and Toy Story 3
Sweet this is awsome🙂
Actually This Was Disney Channel, Not ABC. Happy 20th Anniversary California Adventure!
Wow The Soap Opera Bistro was before Disney Junior Live on Stage and Disney Theater
They should make a sequel at this point.
I can't do that loop any more
Black guy hanging in the line queue for soaring the guy is so cute
It's amazing how one of Disney's best parks used to be so bad. Most of that stuff is no longer there. Love the d-list celebs I've never heard of. I guess this didn't help their careers
Eicarr Carr it looked better before, now it’s too modern and not california at all
Your comment was 9 years ago and at the time they all had great careers. Fast forward, Richard Kind is still making cameos in films, Barry Bostwick is mostly retired, Patrick Warburton went on to do Emperors New Groove and has been a mainstay on Family Guy, Brad Sherwood and Colin Mochrie are still smash hits on Whose Line and on the tour circuit with their improv content, and most of the soap stars moved on to other projects or retired. Only one who didn’t turn out well was Lasseter.
WRONG
I forgot about those spiders lol
7 months before Mister Roger’s Neighborhood Celebrates the Arts last episode and 10 months before Monsters, Inc. came to theaters.
Back when disney dedicated whole tv specials to there theme parks but when bob iger came along they just left with Michael Eisner...
Loved Mr kind lol
i can't believe how much it changed since the early days till now wow. but it changed for the better.
Such a low budget park at that time. All movie attractions and way too many eateries and no night time show When they updated the park in 2012 was what it should have been at opening
They update it in 2010-2012
Tj Samson It was complete by 2012
Yes i know it.
***** I know about the premise but the premise was flawed. First mistake, they built the park on the cheap. 1.5 billion which included the park, downtown disney as well as the hotel ,Compare that to world of color,mermaid, and Carsland which was made for about the same amount..Second,they had too many movie attractions,as well as restaurants, this might have worked in orlando but with Disneyland being mostly locals those attractions were a one time shot. Three. No night time entertainment. The park emptied out at dusk. Fourth no disney characters when park first opened. Fifth not enough family attractions .Six bad leadership and they continued to build cheap attractions,(this also included disneyland) Bugs land,extreme sports,concert series,rocket rods, closing the subs,closing space mountain, Big thunder accident (Paul pressler has stated "if it is good enough for magic mountain it is good enough for Disneyland" Not cool!!) and having the tiki room fall apart as well as having the haunted mansion in dis-repair. Things started to turn around in 2004 when Mr. Lassester came aboard and held the accountants liable for new attractions, and maintenance. When they were going to cut the budget for radiator racers John said" are you going to be at the exit explaining why this ride is no good?) When i first went to DCA it was charming and I did like it but after seeing what they could have done in the first place I am glad for the changes
***** Well there are still California theme areas in DCA. Hollywood Land (Forgot the name), Buena Vista Street inspired from the 1920-30s LA, Grizzly Peak (raft river rafting over California), Soarin' over California, and the California Screamin.
"I was asked to look at California Adventure. It had five or six of the most popular attractions in the resort... and yet the park as a whole was not successful. What it meant was DCA did not have the sense of place or warmth or the Disney bubble that Disneyland had. It lacked sincerity. When you put something that doesn't have that right across the street from Disneyland, it just feels discordant, and so people weren't comfortable there." -Bob Weis, Creative Lead, Disney California Adventure 2007-2012
Colin and Brad lol
I love heavy metal!!
I used to loved the work shop n they took it out smh. And the library part is my fav n I never forget win they gave me tiana I lost it.
They should have kept the entrance the same and they should have keept paradise pier the same, like i miss the mickey ears on california screamin and i miss the maliboomer! I also miss posing in the California letters outside the park!
Agree with the entrance part it was cool
I'd highly recommend listening to the Jim Hill's Disney Dish podcast for some background on the design of DCA, how it was clear that it wasn't working and how they have been fixing it.
Disneyland became so popular at that time
🎶here comes heavy metal Ruben🎶
The park, how it is now is finally up to disney standards of theme park amusement.... Now if only they coyld do something about animal kingdom in florida... Avatar?
It makes me think this is history about this
I am so happy i got on the mallibommer before my California adventure pass expired. Because when I came back it was gone
When the Park opened outside Disneyland Park it was focused only to California Theme Park and such low attendance every day and 25% only who visited the park in 2001 like the experience of the Park. In 2008 the Disneyland and California Adventure planned to Renovate and expand the Park They add some attraction and re theme the other rides. The Sun Wheel re themed to Mickey's Fun Wheel, SuperStar Limo (Which one of the biggest failure dark ride of Disney) re themed to Monsters Inc. Ride. They a added a night time show called World of Color they Added a ride Little Mermaid. The Maliboomer was took down. They Expand a Theme area called Carsland and a new ride called Radiator's Spring Racers and Luigi's Flying Tires. Toy Story Midway Mania ride was added also to the Park even in Main Disneyland they have a Buzz Lightyer Ride in Tomorrowland. Silly Symphony Swings added to Paradise Pier. They added also Beuna Vista Street. Sorry on my English and this all i remember on the Adventure side Expansion and Renovation
Look, you are very informative at your admiration towards Disney Parks, but I think we can all pick our own butts up and do our research. But thank you for being there for the kids born in the 21st century not being aware of the history of DCA. But I think most of us know the good old times when Disney was still growing.
