I loved DCA back then and I love it now. It’s only gotten better over time.

What a difference theming makes to an area

Do you mean before or now? Because this area and view aren’t any more themed now than they were 20 years ago.

Exactly, not to mention the Pixar pier retheme was basically just like polishing a turd.
Disney: “most of our customers are complaining that the area feels cheap, is full of cheap rides and isn’t themed well. Hmm what should we do to fix that?
That’s it! Let’s keep everything the same, except we will cheaply re theme the restaurants, games, and rides!”

Yeah, it opened with the park 8th of February, 2001. And have fun when you visit!

I will do big and fast roller coasters, but in my 22 years of visiting DCA, I haven't once gone in the swinging gondolas.

Been an annual pass holder since 1997. Looks like a particularly crowded day at DCA for 2001-2002 🤭.

It really was a crummy park, but it was OUR crummy park. We used to love it back then. There was actually plenty to do and good places to eat and almost nobody else there. Want to check out a century of tractors, or buy some flower seeds? Have a chat with Whoopi? Do the Muppet show 4 times? Soaring was great for repeats too,as was MM, but not Mailboomer. Wedidthat 3 times in a row and my nose started bleeding.

No disrespect but dca really did look like a fancy Santa Monica pier.

the sun wheel. then mickey's fun wheel. now pixar pal around....featuring mickey..
Doesn't matter the name, it'll always be the Wheel of Death
Scariest ride at Disneyland.
The amount of people who still think it’s called Mickey’s Fun Wheel because they left the Mickey on it is crazy. They should have changed it with the re-theme
