California Adventure Shows and Entertainment

By Betsy Malloy, About.com

You'll find plenty of rides to keep you entertained while at California Adventure, but if you're looking for something different, you'll find plenty of stage shows, films and other goings-on to keep you busy all day long.

California Adventure Entertainment

  • Turtle Talk With Crush: We're not quite sure how they do it, but the animated character from Finding Nemo interacts with the audience in real time. A don't-miss attraction for almost everyone.

  • Disney's Aladdin: A musical re-telling of Aladdin and Jasmine's story. You'd pay a lot of money to see a production like this in New York or Los Angeles.

  • High School Musical: Based on the Disney Channel movie, this outdoor show features a lot of singing and dancing

  • Pixar Play Parade: A parade featuring all your favorite Pixar characters.

  • Playhouse Disney: Best for the little ones, with lots of play-along fun.

  • Disney's Electrical Parade: A long-time favorite, this lighted night-time parade came out of retirement to play at California Adventure.

  • It's Tough to Be a Bug: A "4-D" show featuring characters from A Bug's LIfe, with a few little surprises that make up the fourth "D"

  • MuppetVision 3D: All the silliness you'd expect when the Muppets put on a show.

Accessibility

Most California Adventure shows are accessible to the mobility-impaired, and you can go straight in without leaving your wheelchair or ECV. Most also allow service dogs inside.

If you have a hearing impairment, stop at Guest Relations (on your left inside the California Adventure entrance) to pick up assistive listening devices and handheld caption controls.
