Very well said. Even though I absolutely adore Disney's California Adventure in its current state, there is always room for growth and improvement. On Disney boards--and with Disney's biggest fans and critics, I sometimes feel like the black-sheep DCA fan, but that's OK. People can hate the place, love the place or fall somewhere in between--it doesn't really matter what most people think. As long as Disney's California Adventure continues to be open, it will add to the Disney magic of the Disneyland Resort.

During the last five years, I think Disney's California Adventure has improved with several additions, including the following highlights:
--Monsters Inc. Mike & Sulley to the Resuce!
--Turtle Talk with Crush
--Animation Academy
--The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror
--Block Party Bash
--Disney's Aladdin - A Musical Spectacular
--Electrical Parade
--Flik's Fun Fair
--D.U.H. - Department of Untapped Hilarity (improv comedy show)

As a side note or question, would there have been the magnificent Disney's Grand Californian Hotel with its lobby, Heartstone Lounge, White Water Snacks, Storytellers Cafe, and Napa Rose without California Adventure being built?
