Disneyland California - Tomorrowland (Part II)

Well, this is the final overview post of Disneyland California. We'll be back soon enough to visit some of the rides, shows and stores in more detail but I can tell you that the next posts will be about California Adventure.

Tomorrowland has quite a bit to offer in the form of shopping, eating and other attractions so here is a brief overview of what you can expect.

Innoventions is inside the "Carousel of Progress" building. The Carousel of Progress was a previous Tomorrowland attraction. Innoventions features an interactive 'dream home' exhibit, providing guests with an opportunity to explore current and possible future technologies that are intuitive and interactive that may be used in homes in the not-too-distant future. When you enter Innoventions, you will be greeted by Tom Morrow- the robotic Mayor of Tomorrowland. It is a thoroughly enjoyable exhibit but doesn't quite pack the punch of other attractions in Tomorrowland.

Young ones will enjoy the Jedi Training Academy. A show that picks about 16 audience members to participate in Jedi Training. The trainees are dressed in Jedi Robes and loaned training Light Sabers before being trained in defensive and combat techniques. Each Jedi-trainee will face off against either Darth Maul or Darth Vader until they, along with the Storm Troopers retreat. It's a great show that is really popular on weekends. It is often on several times a day. Make sure you check the showing times when you arrive at the park.

The Tomorrowland Terrace is a restaurant that is more famous for its hydraulic stage than for its food. The stage rises out of the ground and this particular stage is currently home to the Jedi Training Academy Show. The food here is standard counter service options of burgers, fries, sandwiches, rolls and some dessert options. Other Tomorrowland food options come from Redd Rockett's Pizza Port and The Spirit of Refreshment. The Pizza Port also serves a variety of pasta dishes and is a great place to find a table and have a little sit down.

Shopping in Tomorrowland comes in the form of three different stores. The Little Green Men Store Command is themed around the Green Army Men of Toy Story fame. Inside the store you will find a variety of Toy Story toys, clothing and collectables. I love the theme of this store - it's my favourite of Tomorrowland. Star Trader is themed around Star Wars and features predominantly Star Wars toys, clothes and other souvenirs. Tomorrowlanding features a variety of different souvenirs and has one of the biggest Disney Pin collections in the whole park (I will blog about Disney pin trading in a future blog).

That's it from Tomorrowland and for Disneyland California, for now. I'll blog about more things in detail once we have finished our overviews of both Disneyland Resort and Walt Disney World.

Until next time, Have a Magical Day.

Love,
Michelle
