Happy 25th anniversary Disney California Adventure! What once started as an homage to California evolved into so much more. A quick photo peek into history. #DCA25

Hard to believe California Adventure is 25 years old. I was lucky enough to see it a couple weeks before it officially opened. So much has changed since then, as you can see from this panorama I took back when they started building World of Color.

One of my favorite memories of DCA was listening to a father matter of factly describe to his son how they were building a roller coaster in paradise bay. There was a sign advertising World of Color construction a few feet away. #DCA25
Timothy Delaney designed the amazing tile entrance mural for Disney's California Adventure. The look was inspired by the iconic California postcards with the idea that guests could walk into the postcard as they entered the park. This scroll is a printed enlargement of Delaney's concept art. #DCA25
