I don't think even another time period in California is enough of a transport to a different time or place. Sure, California 50 years ago is better than just plain California - - for a park located IN CALIFORNIA.

But I think an entirely different theme is the necessary starting point. The tourist mix is never going to be optimal for a California park in California, and I don't even think that kind of thing works for tourists anyway. If I go to France, a theme park about France is not going to substitute for me seeing France.

The idea, I'm sure, was for the park to substitute for visiting the rest of California ... and that is simply insulting on top of being absofreakinglutely boring.

At this point, if I were to bulldoze DCA and not put up a parking lot, I'd have to stick with Disney tried and true ... and either go with Disney Seas or a concept worked-on forever, like Disney's America. Personally, if going for the proven rather than the gamble, I'd flood most of DCA, and build World Showcase West.

FYI, neither World Showcase nor Disney Seas are long on attractions. They are little more than stunningly beautiful environments ... and I think California Adventure would come a long way if it weren't just so damn ugly.

Having a nonsensical layout doesn't help either. Heheh, WorldShowcasicizing it would solve that right quick.
