Disney fans will recognize Jerry Goldsmith as the composer of the Soarin' Over California soundtrack. According to the Imagineers at the #D23 #DCA25 panel last weekend, Goldsmith jumped at the chance to score the new attraction as he was a native Californian and an aviation fan.

OK, the Liquid IV ad is funny, but as a Scouter who hydrated through 12 years of summer camps and weekend campouts, it's also a tad misleading. Our camp rule was simple: 1) if your pee is yellow, you need to drink more water; 2) if you drink ANYTHING but water, drink 2c of water to keep hydrated.

Timothy Delaney designed the amazing tile entrance mural for Disney's California Adventure. The look was inspired by the iconic California postcards with the idea that guests could walk into the postcard as they entered the park. This scroll is a printed enlargement of Delaney's concept art. #DCA25

Disneyland likes to say its California Resident discount offer, at $249 for three days, is only $83 per day. But if you add the daily parking rate of $40 per vehicle (divided by how many visitors your vehicle carries), the cost for one person becomes $123 per day, or $369 for three days w/ parking.
