It would be like if two beautiful girls were standing next to each other and one was a 10 and the other was a 9 1/2. You wouldn't say the 9 1/2 was ugly but people here would because she's not a 10.

Originally Posted By gottaluvdavillains Come on - it serves wine, beer, and margaritas... If that wasn't enough it's a lovely view from the cove bar...

Originally Posted By ShivaThDestroyer ^^ count me in too. I love the DCA. It will never be DL but I don't try to compare them. Each one is special in their own way and each one has its own special brand of magic.

I am looking forward to all the wonderful changes that are coming but must say that one thing I have always enjoyed about DCA was that it is less crowded than Disneyland! Also want to say welcome to YumaJohn who obviously cared enough to ask what was acceptable to everyone around here at Laughing Place. I am sure you will enjoy this place as much as I do! In fact, I enjoy it so much I am spending a little too much time here and too little time doing all that other stuff I am supposed to get done. Everyone here is more fun!
Originally Posted By ABBY I love DCA too! I must agree it sometimes does get discouraging to read all the negative posts about the park.

You are doing great YumaJohn and welcome to our fun place <<<another family who really enjoys DCA
Originally Posted By YumaJohn Wow, I had no idea my little query would bring out some DCA lovin'. While I'm not the world's biggest DCA fun I can say that I have never not had a good time there. It is nice to have another park in DLR. I think my biggest problem with it is that I wouldn't go to DCA by itself 2-3 times a year like I go to DL. I may really be in the minority here but I like DCA waaaaay better than EPCOT. I've been to EPCOT twice and have no desire to go back. Keep on Keepin' on YumaJohn
Originally Posted By jdub Okay, I had NO IDEA California Adventure sold alcohol--I've learned something here!

I admit I avoided going to California Adventure for QUITE a while after it opened; after all, I LIVE in California, so don't need a processed version "educating" me about my state, or simulating it, or whatever. But--the earlier comment is right: it's no Disneyland (uh, YAH), but it's still better than the average amusement park. I think specifically about the parks surrounding the SF Bay Area--Great America, Marine World (or as they prefer to call it these days, "Six Flags Discovery Kingdom"), and the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk--California Adventure is cleaner, more well-run, and--LOL--less crowded! I'm looking forward to seeing the results of the overhaul, or reboot, or whatever it is. All of which is QUITE off-topic, so I'll throw this in: Yes, I have noticed a spike in sensitivity/poor manners recently.
Originally Posted By Disneyland55 I love DCA too!!! Oh my goodness, I keep reading through these posts just waiting for someone to be all, "You are all wrong, DCA sucks, you go to hell and you die!" But they haven't yet! I am LOVING this. DCA TOCKS! (But of course is 2nd to DL)

Originally Posted By wonderingalice ^^*LOL* Count Mr. Alice and I in with the ones who enjoy DCA and its different atmosphere. Like STIL, Disneyland can never be dethroned as my be-all end-all Happy Kid Place, but DCA has many high points throughout. We always spend a decent amount of time over there every day of every visit. And jdub, son... You don't know what yer missin'! *LOL* Two words: Cove Bar. Two more: Yeah BABY! ;-)
Originally Posted By jdub <<<And jdub, son... You don't know what yer missin'! *LOL* Two words: Cove Bar.>>> 1. "SON?!?!??" 2. Actually, I'm really disappointed to hear that the park serves. Part of what I think makes my local parks as trashy as they are is the ready availability of alcohol. If it's only in-restaurant imbibosity, well, that's better than carry-along, but still? Nope.
Originally Posted By wonderingalice My apologies, jdub... I misinterpreted your other post. 1. "Son" was my failed attempt at playfulness. 2. I've never seen anyone carrying go-cups, so I think it's discouraged. Everything at the Cove Bar comes in a glass container that I wouldn't dare think of carrying away from the immediate area. I'm not sure about the beer and margarita places (I think they're served in plastic, but I would imagine Security would step in if they saw one of the full cups wandering around). Since they serve alcohol in DTD, my own reasoning is that DCA is also separate from Disneyland. I would never advocate a change in beverage policies at Disneyland. It IS my Happy KID Place.

But now that I have had the chance to really get to know the park, I am very pleased to visit there. I absolutely love Soarin' and Screamin' is up there with my top coasters. I love to take my grandchildren there when Disneyland is having a really busy day. I love Mickey's Halloween treat as well. So, I am glad I did not get all stubborn and gave DCA a try. I also love the fact that we can hop over there for ice cream and coffee with almost no wait in line. >>>>>Ssssshhhh, don't tell the haters about our DCA love fest. I don't want this to get ruined!<<<<< Copy that;oD
