Disney's Year of a Million Dreams is well underway. Disneyland and California Adventure have many new experiences for the dreamers in your family.
Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage
Set sail on Disney's new underwater adventure and discover Nemo and his friends in the Tomorrowland lagoon. The original submarines from the 1959 Disneyland Submarine Voyage have been overhauled for this new adventure. The once diesel subs are now fully electric and have received a new paint job, a larger seating capacity and a new sound system to take guests into the world of the movie, Finding Nemo.
Board your sub down a spiral staircase and take your seat in front of your own porthole. Then the adventure begins. You'll sail past vibrant underwater imagery, animatronic characters and an underwater volcano. Then you'll descend into the reef and discover Nemo and his friends.
If you loved the Disneyland Submarine Voyage or Finding Nemo you won't want to miss the Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage.
Jedi Training Academy
Learn the ways of the Force at the Tomorrowland Terrace Stage. Jedi Masters select young Padawans from the audience and teach them the proper use of a lightsaber. They must then defend against the dark side when Darth Vader himself appears. This interactive show happens daily; check your park schedule for times.
Pirate's Lair on Tom Sawyer Island
Tom Sawyer Island opened in June 1956 and is the only attraction personally designed by Walt Disney. Now pirates have taken over the island! The island can be reached by raft from Frontierland, but watch out for Captain Jack Sparrow and a band of pirates once you set foot ashore. Search for treasure, encounter pirate ghosts, take the Pirate Oath or listen to sea chanteys played by the Bootstrappers. Watch "Jack Sparrow's Swashbuckling Adventure", a live interactive show featuring sword fighting, acrobatics and more.
Disney Princess Fantasy Faire
Young "lords and ladies" can train to be knights and princesses, make their own crowns, meet Disney Princesses and more at the Fantasyland Theater.
"High School Musical" Pep Rally
Catch Wildcat fever as the students of East High School rock California Adventure park. They'll share their school spirit and teach guests cheers and dance moves from the Disney Channel movie "High School Musical".
