The good: I've been a Marvel fan since I was a child and grew up watching all movies in the MCU. Avengers Campus was amazing, and I can truly say it met my expectations, if not exceeded what I wanted from it! I still get goosebumps from the Avengers music as I walked into Avengers Campus!
The entire land is completely well designed and purposeful! From walking into the park through the exit areas, it's a dream! I arrived to the park EARLY (5:45 AM) to get in on time and check everything out. Which I did, and it was incredible! I spent most of my day there interacting with all the heros and drinking at Pym Tasting Lab. All alcohol drinking aficionados will love this place! It's also strategically located in front of Avengers HQ which is a perfect place to catch a show and see most, if not all Avengers!
All of my favorite Marvel superheros (Iron Man, Black Panther, Spider-Man and both Captain America's) were there and did not disappoint both aesthetically and from an experience standpoint. All interactions with the superheros were made with social distancing in mind (which I'm cool with) but it definitely did not disappoint! I can see this being a staple moving forward.
All the shows were so well done and I felt fully immersed into the showcase! I especially enjoyed the Doctor Strange show! The tribute done within the Wakanda training show is special (RIP Chadwick Boseman).
The spiderman ride requires a boarding pass, but Mission Breakout does not! It is cool and it always had a 15 minute wait time which was quick. The ride is updated from what was there before, much more fun!
I highly recommend getting the Iron Man infinity stone gauntlet at Shawarma Place Too. No mobile order needed for it there! It's a must have! I also purchased the spider man repulser. Which is so cool for any Iron Man fan! It also interacts with the Spider Man ride. Though it is not needed, and in my experience doesn't give you an added advantage in the ride.
The bad: FOOD As of June 4th, the whole concept of mobile ordering food is a disaster at the Campus. By 9:20 am, all food was booked at Avengers Campus. Highly recommend ordering as early as you can (before 8:30 am).
The one hot food (Shawarma Palace) I somehow obtained only came after begging the staff if I could purchase some because I was starved. Shawarma Palace is not good. Don't do it unless your fulfilling an Avengers-end-credit-fantasy like me. Go to Pym Test Kitchen, heard food was amazing there.
BOARDING PASS The boarding pass situation for the spiderman ride sucks, but my group was lucky to be #74 which meant we got on at 3 PM. We arrived to the park at 5:45 AM.
ACCESORIES UTILIZATION The higher-ups are obviously pushing to sell the Spider bots which are kinda cool. But the coolest accessories, the web slingers/repulsers get no attention. What I mean is that they're not showcased so that park attendees know how to use them. More importantly how you benefit with them on the spider man ride. Huge miss from the directors/managers of the campus experience.
Overall: For all my fellow MCU fanatics, this place will not disappoint! It feels surreal and overwhelming in a great way! All, if not most of the superheros we know and love are properly represented! From an overall experience I loved it and would highly recommend to anyone willing and able to go! Eat beforehand just in case you can't mobile order food. Prepare accordingly if you're a foodie! It may really alter...
Read more-The area for avengers campus is 4 acres, less than a third of the size of galaxies edge.
-You have to join the virtual queue at 7 am, two hours before the park opened and an hour and. A half before they started letting people in on opening day.
-Hope you got a good spot in the virtual queue for web slingers, we got boarding group 74 at exactly 7am when it opened, which translated into a 3pm boarding time. Because we were in a queue at noon still we were unable try to get on rise of the resistance on the same day.
-Web slingers is 90 seconds of ride. Have you been on midway mania? It's the same gimmick, minus the plunger gun. You extend your arm to shoot webs, and spend less than half as long in the ride as midway mania. Three areas, roughly 30 seconds each.
-Because of mask mandates(which I'm for) and this being a 3d ride requiring glasses you might fog up your glasses and make the ride annoying.
-75%of the merchandise in the new stores is webslinger gear, which is worn alters how the ride works. I didn't get a chance to try this firsthand but just think you shoot an iron man beam instead of a web. I cannot speak to if this translates to a better score or gives you some sort of a pay to win benefit.
-Food at Disneyland right now is a DISASTER. You have to order it through mobile order to get food for anywhere except some carts. Hungry and want to buy food at 11am? Did you put in a mobile order when they opened up at 7am? No? Hope you like churros. They are either afraid of lines or just don't realize that this literally prevented people like me who didn't know from being able to buy breakfast or lunch. By the time we figured this out we ended up putting in an order for food at Disneyland, not DCA, and ended up eating at 4pm. If you wanted to get food in avengers campus they were sold out for the rest of the day by 10am, and if you left you could not come back to get it unless you waited in the line to reenter the area(at least several hours)
-There is a building that looks like it will eventually be announced as a ride that you get socially distanced waved at by avengers. It's something but ultimately was just... Flat. Even after they open up restrictions this area isn't big enough for meet and greets if they come down off the building.
-That empty show building? Why not open it now. It's clearly for something, but as is avengers campus boils down to standing around looking for something to do because you can't get food, it's sold out, waiting to be called back to enter a store, waiting for web slingers(if you got a boarding pass)...
Super disappointed. Don't go. Wait a few years til they put out another ride. The blowback for this is gonna be intense.
Less seriously: I think I preferred heimlichs chew chew Choo Choo back when this was a bugs life land. Come to think of it they had more rides back when it was...

This is the WORST WOKE place in the America!!! My 5 years old son loves Spiderman, we came in as a traditional family with Christian values, since 11am all my son wants is to take pictures with Spiderman and see his favorite hero.
We spent more than $200 just buying Spiderman costume, toys and accessories. I joined the line, waited for 15-30 minutes for 3 different times during the day, all because my 5 years old son wants to see his favorite hero in the planet.
At around 6pm, me and ny family were leaving the park, and my so wanted to say good bye to his hero one last time! This is where things got really ugly with the WOKE culture!!!
A gay guy staff named WILLY felt “threated” by a 5 years old boy, dressed like Spiderman wanting to take pictures with Spiderman!! While I was waiting in line, he approached ny wife and son ans said to then to “back off and leave” because he felt “security threatened” by them!!!
Picture this folks: A GAY GUY, 20 years old, without problems in life, without kids, never had a Divorce, never lost the life of a family member, without ANY REAL KNOWLEDGE of what life is about, thought at that very moment, that it was best to put ALL HIS EFFORTS AND ENERGY to BULLY AND THREATEN A WOMAN AND A 5 YEARS OLD KID!!!!
I was in the line, quiet, just waiting in behalf of my son to make his wish to say Good Bye to Spiderman! My turn came, we took the picture and I kept quiet, I haven’t said a word… when the WORST HAPPENED!!!
The GAY GUY had called another staff, his LESBIAN FRIEND, a FAT UGLY LESBIAN LADDY named KELLY!!!!!
She is peobably 20 years old too, no money, dreams or aspirations in life while working at Disney will probably be the top point of her life!! Anyways, this BULLY LESBIAN came in, from NO WHERE and started to shout, demand and be agressive tell my son and wife to LEAVE! My wife got their names and said “I’ll report you to the customer service” at this point the UGGLY LESBIAN said “KEEP WALKING, GO AWAY” and started to freaking follow us to, coming behind me, like a CRAZY PERSON and kept shouting “DON’T STOP! KEEP MOVING!!!”
I still haven’t said a single word to none of the staff!!! All I wanted was to keep the ears of my son blocked and the eyes straight ahead so he couldn’t notice the GAY AND LEABIAN WOKE CULTURE DESTROYING AMERICA!!!
This insanety HAS TO STOP!!! Walt Disney, please STOP giving chance and pushing for the WOKE CULTURE to destroy our values and our kids!!!
FIRE WILL AND KELLY FROM THE AVENGER CAMPUS AND NEVER AGAIN HIRE ANOTHER PHYSCO MENTALLY DESTROYED WOKE PERSON THAT HAS NO SANITY IN THEIR LIVES!!!
Please DO SOMETHING to save our kids and our future...
