Opinion: The BRILLIANCE of Buena Vista Street

Disney Matter’s vlogger, OrangeGrove55, discusses the brilliance of Buena Vista Street at Disney California Adventure in Anaheim. Joining him are Rudio (Twitter: @Rudio1), DisneyFamilyMan23 (Twitter: @DisneyGeorge/YouTube: DisneyFamilyMan23), and VashSky (Twitter: @VashSky).

Buena Vista Street (formerly known as Sunshine Plaza) is a themed “land” at Disney California Adventure at the Disneyland Resort. Though named for the real-life Burbank thoroughfare that the Walt Disney Studios sits on, the central plaza represents Los Angeles, and specifically the Los Feliz area, in the 1920s when Walt Disney first arrived there. One of the main features is a small-scale replica of the Hyperion Bridge, which was being constructed when Disney stayed in Atwater Village. The replica functions as a working bridge for the resort’s monorail system.

Similar in layout and style to Disneyland’s Main Street, U.S.A., Disney California Adventure’s sister park includes dining, shopping, parades, and entertainment. The Red Car Trolley, a recreation of Pacific Electric’s iconic Red Car electric trolleys, transports guests through this area, from the park’s entry to Guardians of the Galaxy – Mission: Breakout! in Hollywood Land.
