The new park has a California theme. Just inside the entrance, the Disneyland Monorail passes over a miniature Golden Gate Bridge; various areas of the park were designed to recreate different California landmarks. The overall intention was to create a more adult-themed park than Disneyland, including faster, scarier rides; shows designed more for an adult audience; and a large number of restaurants. Unlike the Disneyland park, alcohol is served in California Adventure.

Disney's original plan was to build WestCOT, a west coast iteration of EPCOT, upon land which was formerly Disneyland's parking lot. Disney's California Adventure was built on that land instead. Parking is now available in a space-saving multi-level parking structure a short distance away. The new parking structure is one of the largest in the world.
