AmericaJR.com’s Jason Rzucidlo and Kelly Rosales recently visited Disneyland and Disney’s California Adventure theme parks. It was a little bit wet during our visit–but that didn’t stop die hard Disney fans. We still had to wait in line for 90 minutes for the Radiator Springs Racers ride and about 45 minutes for the Soarin’ Over California attraction. Then, we made our way to Disneyland to check out the new “Star Wars” themed attractions. While a new “Star Wars” land is currently being built, four rides were revamped in honor of the film. The Paint the Night parade was canceled due to the rain, however the fireworks show went on at 9:30 p.m. Special thanks to the folks at Disney for providing us with media passes so we could visit the parks.
