The Blue Sky Cellar...

California Adventure has this new "attraction" called the Blue Sky Cellar.  Inside this room are tons of pictures and models of upcoming things that will be coming to the park.  I LOVE it, especially because I am always researching new things that are coming to different theme parks and such. 
Take a look at whats ahead!!

Buena Vista Street

When a young and energetic Walt Disney stepped off the train from Kansas City in 1923, he discovered a bustling Los Angeles filled with pedestrian boulevards, charming shops, tantalizing restaurants and shining Red Car Trolleys. Buena Vista Street — the new entrance to Disney's California Adventure® Park — sends you back in time to an idealized version of a city that has always been a beacon of bright optimism and new opportunity.
The Carthay Circle Theatre, where Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs premiered, will anchor the new plaza. It's the perfect place to start your own California adventure!

Coming in 2012!

Paradise Pier

Paradise Pier is a return to the romance, elegance and charm of the great turn of the 20th-century seaside amusement venues. Rich with Disney character — and Disney Characters — exciting new changes are well underway.

Featuring an old-fashioned boardwalk, gingerbread wood trim and delicate Victorian arches, Paradise Pier is a place to discover, to relax and to play. When the sun dips below the horizon and the twinkling lights spring to life, you'll know that you've arrive in the kind of timeless getaway that has inspired romantic dreams for generations!

Cars Land

Blending the magic of Disney stories and characters, the legendary adventure and excitement of Route 66, and California's celebrated car culture, Cars Land recreates the memorable town of Radiator Springs just as it appeared in the Disney·Pixar animated classic, Cars.

You're invited to a town built for, and by, cars. All the locals are home including Lightning McQueen, Sally, Mater, Doc and their friends. The whole city is recreated in loving detail — complete with three new attractions. You'll float on Luigi's Flying Tires, dance to Mater's Junkyard Jamboree and rocket through the desert on Radiator Springs Racers.
