California Adventure vs Disneyland


Which one do you prefer? My friend Roger Lewis, MD, says CA is a "damned site better" than the big D. After our recent trip to both, I have to agree with Roger. CalifAdv takes the cake for a great getaway. Mark and I spent three days park hopping, but found ourselves more entertained at CA than at D, mostly because of the smaller crowds. We love Soaring Over California, The Maliboomer, California Screamin', and the Aladin Show. Take our advice and avoid Knott's Berry Farm, under new "mis-management" -- we left after an hour.

We're planning on buying a yearlong pass to Disney for 2010 so that we can go back with each of our kids and their kids. After 50 years of enjoying Disneyland resorts, Mark and I are ready to move to the next stage -- enjoying the fun with our grandchildren. The whole time we were there last week, we kept saying, "David's kids would love this!" and "Can you imagine how much fun Naomi and Jocie would have on this ride?"
