ive visted the original disneyland before this add on was built , is there much there to intrest 2x 40year olds or is it mainly for kiddies?

kinda want to visit , but feel it might be a waste for adults

I've been with my kids but enjoyed it too. Depends if you are a kid inside but I think there is enough there to warrant a day for adults.

-Cars Ride is spectacular, one of the best rides anywhere IMO.
-Tower of Terror pretty good
-Grizzly River Run good
-Soaring over California good
-Aladdin show - pretty good
-California Screaming - excellent

Some good eateries, including a Ghirardelli Chocolate shop too.

They were just making the cars bit when I went

The toy story ride is good fun if you're competitive!

Just got back, worth it to eat at Flo's V8 Diner alone.

The cars actually drive about full scale and it is weird being on the road when Lightning, Mater and Luigi are whizzing about.

Park is old school with the ferris wheel etc but still cool.

We did do both parks in one day though...

We did both parks in 3 days, could have done more. And a few of those rides I would have liked to have done multiple times. e.g. Cars, but with the wait times the day before Thanksgiving at 2 1/2 hours it was not possible. (Even single rider line was an hour)

By the time you see a couple of parades and shows, time easily blows out, Fantasmic was pretty impressive.

I will admit we didn't do everything as the place was rammed, we went twice (New Years Eve and 3rd January) but it wasn't as good as I remembered it apart from the new bits like the Cars section and the Pirates of the Caribbean ride for example.
