What about California Adventure?

Can you list secret little things to do in both?

Also, how many people are ussaly there the last few days of august (august 23rd and 24th).

Answer 1

In California Adventure in the Pacific Wharf Area right passed Bugs Land and close to Paradise Pier, (It is hard to explain exactly where it is located but I'm sure you could ask a cast member to help you locate it if you have trouble) there is a little Mission Tortilla Factory hidden away. You go inside and you get a look at how tortillas are made, at the end you get a free freshly made tortilla- which is the main reason everyone goes on it. Also, if it is your birthday and you are wearing a birthday button (you can pick them up at City Hall on Main Street at Disneyland) and the person handing out tortillas notices, you will receive a small bag of free tortillas. It's a really awesome "secret" although i find that each time i go more and more people are finding out about it and going to see it.

Also while this isn't hardly considered a "secret", one of my favorite places in California Adventure that people tend to ignore is the Animation building in Hollywood Pictures Backlot. Once you walk in there are huge screens surrounding you playing Disney movies and showcasing their animation. It is very beautiful. you could sit there all day, or use it to beat the heat once it gets hot as it is very air conditioned in there. There are lots of little things you can do inside but my favorite area is the "Sorcerers Workshop". You can do all these little activities like add your voice to famous scenes from Disney movies or take quizzes to see what Disney character you are like, It is really fun. The Animation building is also where "Turtle Talk with Crush" is, where you can ask Crush from Finding Nemo questions. Mainly it is little kids that ask the questions and it is pretty hilarious to hear what they ask and how Crush responds. I would defiantly recommend checking that out also (again not really a secret, sorry!)
