Disney California Adventure Park (1) - Theme Park series (3) / 迪士尼加...

Disney California Adventure Park located right next to Disneyland. We only had time to visit one of them and we had visited Disneyland in Hong Kong and Tokyo, so we decided to enjoy California Adventure Park.

迪士尼加州冒險樂園就在洛杉磯迪士尼的旁邊。可以我們只有一天時間，而且香港迪士尼樂園都去過多次，所以這一次我們決定到加州冒險樂園遊玩。

We were staying in Hilton Anaheim with a room facing the park. That's why we were able to enjoy the firework of Disneyland in our hotel room.

這次我們住的酒店房間是向着樂園的，所以夜上可以看到樂園放的煙花。

The hotel was near the park, many people would walk to the park, however, since the weather was kind of hot and wet, my wife decided we should drive to the park instead of walking. Then we found out we had to park our car at the parking lot which is only 3 minutes away from the hotel, and paid US$20. There was a shuttle bus running from there to the entrance of the two Disney theme parks. In turns of time, it was actually slow than just walked. However, if you carried many stuffs with you, it might still be a good choice to have you own car.

由於距離不遠，很多遊客會選擇步行到樂園去。不過因為當日的天氣既濕且熱，太太決定還是開車。不料原來樂園已經不容許直接開車到樂園，所有車輛都要泊在指定的停車場($20)再坐穿梭巴士前往。而那停車場只是距離酒店3分鐘路程。如果只是考慮時間，直接步行到樂園會更快捷。

We purchased our tickets online together with the Disney MaxPass for US$10 extra each. Disney MaxPass includes Digital FASTPASS Selections and Disney PhotoPass Downloads, which in my opinion, worth the extra money paid. Make sure you purchase this! To make best use of it, remember to download Disney Apps on your mobile and import your tickets and Passes to it.

門票是在網上跟迪士尼MaxPass一起購買的。價值$10美元的迪士尼MasPass包括了數碼快証和迪士尼相片証。使用過之後我覺得是絕對值得購入的。因為是全數碼的關係，是要配合迪士尼手機應用程式一起使用的。

Once you imported your tickets in the Apps, them would be shown in the Apps and you were ready to claim your FastPass (if you had purchased the MaxPass).

當你把門票輸入手機應用之後，你就可以使用MaxPass的功能了。

Once you got into the patk, you could see that Summer of Heroes was the theme of this summer.

進入園區之後，你就可以見到今個夏天的主題： Summer of Heroes.

If you've been to Disneyland, you could tell the differences between the 2 theme parks.

到訪過迪士尼樂園的話，你就會發現兩個樂園的不同之處。

Without any specific target, we wandered for awhile until we saw this : Guardians of the Galaxy - Mission: BREAKOUT! Most popular ride in the park, I was not surprised to find out the queue up time is more than 1 hour. Therefore, we decided to get FastPass of this ride and came back later.
A reminder : One can only get one FastPass every 2 hours. That's why the Apps will tell you when you can get a new FastPass after you got one. Good thing is you can get FassPast of a particular attraction remotely, without the need of physically there.

我們一開始並沒有特定的目標，隨意走着走着，不久就見到了有名，而且是最受歡迎的Guardians of the Galaxy - Mission BREAKOUT! 排隊時間要一個小時以上。這個當然是使用快証的最好時機了。
注意：使用過快証之後，再等兩個小時才可再度使用。但是數碼快証最好之處，是你無需親身到設施那兒，在手機從任何地點都可拿到快証。

There was about 1.5 hours to the specified time, we decided to go to Cars Land!

距離指定時間還有個多小時，我們便決定到鬼馬車王樂園。

Looked very similar to the movie!

和電影場景很相似呀！

After the Mater ride, we went to check out the Radiator Springs Racers, which was another very popular ride. Again, it took a hour in line! But we decided to go for the "Single Rider" line, which was much shorter and faster.

坐過Mater 轉轉車之後，我們就到另一個超有名和好玩的設施 "Radiator Springs Racers"。因為受歡迎的關係，又是超過一個小時的排隊時間。所以我們就決定化整為零，去排短很多的「單人遊玩」隊。

Of course, there was trade-off: you probably could not ride with your family members or friends. However, it's worth the trade-off. We played again right after the first ride and within 30 minutes, we had already enjoyed twice!

世上沒有免費午餐的，不用長時間排隊是有代價的。就是所有人要分開不同時間和車。但我們所有人都覺得很值得這樣做，因為不用30分鐘，我們已經玩了兩次！

Look! See who we bumped into after the rides!

玩過賽車之後，居然遇上他！

It was about time to go back for Guardians of the Galaxy ride!
Let's stop here and I will share with you rest of Disney California Adventure Park in next post, stay tuned!
