Disney California Adventure is currently home to Pixar Pier, Cars Land, and a number of areas that celebrate the Golden State of California.
The park originally opened on February 8, 2001, but 10 years prior, Disney was planning for its second California theme park to be a West Coast version of Disney World's Epcot, as reported by the LA Times.
Westcot, as it was to be called, would have been modeled after Epcot, including its own golden version of Spaceship Earth called Spacestation Earth. Along with Westcot, the expansion included plans for Disneyland Center, a collection of retail, dining, and entertainment facilities similar to today's Downtown Disney District, three new hotels, and a network of monorails and people-mover systems to transport guests throughout the new areas.
