This week, we officially celebrated the Grand Reopening of Disney California Adventure park. And if you couldnt make it out, the Disney Parks Blog was the place to turn. We kicked things off with live coverage from the Cars Land red carpet and opening celebration, and then shared images and video from the parks Grand Reopening ceremony.
