What happens when you cross a Pirate ship style ride with a ferris wheel? The answer is Pixar Pal Around. I was excited to try this ride especially when I watched how the swinging cars would follow a U shaped track depending upon its height.

My husband wanted to ride the non swinging car and I went with the swinging car. Oddly enough although both lines were long we managed to get on at the same time with his car being in front of me.

I sat on one side with two women who offered to take my picture on the ride. There isn't anything to strap you in but once you get going you actually do swing up and back much like the Pirate ship. Hang on for the time of your life. Another interesting observation was since I was in the swinging car I never knew when we reached the top as our car dipped downward. I had no idea how many loops we took but before we knew it the ride was over.

I asked my husband how he enjoyed the non swinging car and he told me it was like a traditional Ferris wheel where you can get good sights of the park and the area surrounding it.

The choice is yours-take the non swinging car and ride like a Ferris Wheel or take the swinging car and have the time...

Must-Do Rides at Disney California Adventure Park🎡 Recommended by a Seasoned Annual Pass Holder🎢 | . The original Disneyland Resort in Los Angeles features two theme parks: Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure Park, located in Anaheim, Orange County. My high school was just a 5-minute drive from Disney, so I bought a 2-year annual pass back then—after school, I’d often drop by to unwind and let loose! This guide focuses on California Adventure Park! . Top Must-Do Rides: (Grab FastPasses for these first!) . 1. **Radiator Springs Racers** (Pic 4) . Beg you—head straight here for a FastPass as soon as you enter! Same-day FPs often sell out fast! It’s also the ride with the longest wait times in the park! This outdoor racing adventure is set in a scenic American Southwest canyon, with cars speeding along tracks—think coaster thrills with breathtaking views! . 2. **Incredicoaster** (Pic 29) . My personal favorite! Formerly called California Screamin’. Though its top speed is only 89km/h, the sudden launch after the countdown throws you right into the action—zero wasted time! Plus, it’s the world’s longest loop coaster, and the most intense moment is the 33-meter drop from the top! One time, I was exhausted and dizzy, but after riding it 6 times, I miraculously recovered! . 3. **Guardians of the Galaxy-Mission: BREAKOUT!** (Pic 5) . An indoor drop tower themed after *Guardians of the Galaxy*! You board what’s essentially an elevator-turned-drop-ride. Once the doors close, you’re shot up into darkness, reaching a high floor where the windows suddenly open—revealing a stunning view before the free-fall plunge. Pure adrenaline! . 4. **Mickey's Fun Wheel** (Pic 1367) . The park’s crown jewel—the only Disney-themed Ferris wheel in the world! First, it’s a photogenic spot, especially with its dazzling lights after dark. The wheel’s design is also unique, offering **Swing** and **Non-swing** gondolas. If you get motion sickness, pick **Non-swing** (stationary). **Swing** adds a thrill—as the wheel ascends, the gondola sways like a pendulum, mimicking a pirate ship. Believe it or not, I’ve seen a tough guy friend puke on this! . These are my must-do picks! Other great options include the raft ride **Grizzly River Run** and the 4D flying simulator **Soarin’ Around the World**—definitely try them if time allows! . @xiaohongshu @lifeshot
