As the spectacle unfolds, you are drawn deeper into a dazzling new dimension of Disney storytelling magic – until you feel like you’re actually a part of the story! Welcome to World of Color – springing to life exclusively in Disney California Adventure™ Park!

California Screamin'
Blast-off with a screech from the beach! Then twist, turn and loop upside down through Mickey Mouse's silhouette. By the time you arrive back at the pier, you will know why this is the adrenaline rush of the century! This state-of-the-art steel roller coaster evokes the great thrills of wooden coasters from days-gone-by yet it catapults riders from 0 to 55 in less than five seconds and surfs over a mile of track with a 108-foot drop. There is also state-of-the-art onboard music to match the series of banking turns, speedy twists and the climactic loop.

Toy Story Mania!
Take aim and ride in this 4-D attraction inspired by Disney•Pixar’s Toy Story films. Grab your spring action shooter and zero in on moving targets with virtual darts, pies and even eggs. All along the way, some of your favorite Toy Story Characters will cheer you on!

Soarin' Over California
Hold your breath as you experience the ultimate sensation of free flight. Your soarin' journey takes you from one end of the Golden State to the other in this awe-inspiring scenic tour. Take in immersive breath-taking aerial vistas while flying in this simulated hang glider. Your toes dangle just above the awe-inspiring landscapes such as the Golden Gate Bridge and Yosemite. Feel the wind in your hair as you see California as you've never seen it before!

Spotlight - The Disney Fantasy

The Disney Fantasy will sail alternating seven-night cruises from Port Canaveral, Fla. to the Eastern and Western Caribbean and Disney's private island paradise, Castaway Cay, with the maiden voyage scheduled for March 31, 2012.

Disney's newest ship will bring to life many of the innovative features guests love on the recently launched Disney Dream including AquaDuck — the world's first shipboard water coaster. But new design elements and guest experiences will give the Disney Fantasy an identity all its own.

Some of the new highlights found on the Disney Fantasy include:

  • Europa - a nighttime entertainment district exclusively for guests 18 and older that features sophisticated bars and trendy lounges inspired by the very best in European travel.
  • A new, innovative show for the Animator's Palate restaurant where diners will serve as guest animators. During the "Animation Magic" show guests are asked to hand-draw a character of their own at the start of dinner. After an entertaining show featuring montages from Disney animated films and shorts, guests prepare for a whimsical finale moment where the guest-drawn characters spring to life and interact with characters from beloved Disney animated classics.
  • At Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique aspiring young princesses and pirates receive the full fairy tale treatment with pixie-dusted and piratical makeovers at this very special salon.
  • "Disney's Aladdin - A Musical Spectacular" will take the stage on the Disney Fantasy. During this Broadway-style production, guests laugh along with the wise-cracking Genie and the cast from the classic animated Disney film, "Aladdin."
  • Guests can splash and play in the AquaLab - a brand-new water play area on deck 12, near the entrance to the AquaDuck water coaster. Families can frolic among pop jets, geysers and bubblers in this fun and fanciful 1,800-square-foot space. As the story goes, AquaLab was created by Donald Duck's nephews, Huey, Dewey and Louie, and features a variety of water "experiments" designed to drench the whole family.
  • The Disney Fantasy features another new area for guests of all ages to cool off. On deck 12 forward, a wading pool with a fountain water feature, ample seating and lounge chairs under canopy offer a respite in the shade.
  • In addition to Quiet Cove Pool and Cove Bar on the Disney Fantasy, a new adult-exclusive area offers a retreat on the upper decks for guests 18 and older. At Satellite Sun Deck on deck 13 forward a brand-new water feature called Satellite Falls is a circular splash pool with benches and a gently falling rain curtain that provides cool comfort. Around this upper deck, adult guests can soak up the sun in loungers or relax in the shade under a canopy.
  • The Muppets make their debut on Disney Cruise Line in a brand-new adventure game aboard the ship. In "The Case of the Stolen Show," Guests set out on an interactive quest to help a cast of more than 20 Muppets find their missing show props.
