Top 7 Things To Do at the NEW Avengers Campus

Avengers Assemble!

Finalmente el dia ha llegado. (Finally the day has come)

Drew and I took a first look at the all NEW Avengers Campus at Disney California Adventure in Anaheim. We love the Marvel saga, and we are thrilled to see these heroic comic characters come to life in one place! We could hear “Avengers Suite” playing in the background as we stood patiently for the gates to open. The cast members led us to the park and my son literally jumped for joy as we entered.

In this sensational new section of the park, guests are invited to team up with the Avengers and their allies to live out their Super Hero dreams in this fully immersive land that mixes innovative technology and fun for all ages.

Drew and I made a list of our favorite spots to explore and foods to try while in the park.

Thank you Disneyland Resort for inviting us to the Avenger Campus debut. All opinions are my own.

Check out these Attractions!

  1. RIDE WEB SLINGERS: A Spider-Man Adventure

Talk about a work out! This new interactive scree ride is so much fun! My son is CRAZY about WEB’s latest invention. We teamed up and captured Spider-Bots 🕷that have wreaked havoc on the Avenger Campus. My son is a gamer and was thrilled the ride tracked our points.

2. Ride Guardians of the Galaxy: Mission – BREAKOUT!

We absolutely love all the special details and artifacts showcased in this ride.

This updated attraction uses the same infrastructure and ride system as the previous attraction,  The Twilight Zone, Tower of Terror.  It features several actors of the cast from the Marvel film series reprising their characters.

This ride opened on May 27, 2017, twenty-two days after the release of Guardians of the Galaxy Voume 2.

Movie Review: AVENGERS ENDGAME

Written By: Vanessa Bañuelos-Dawson

Whatever it takes.

Walt Disney Studios and Marvel Studios do whatever it takes to give movie and comic book
fans the proper ending to an 11-year arc of its treasured universe with AVENGERS: ENDGAME.

Sure to be one of the biggest grossing films in both studios’ history, ENDGAME directly picks up after super-villain Thanos’ (Josh Brolin) iconic snap in Avengers: Infinity War (2018). Released
nearly a year after Infinity War, Endgame doesn’t waste time getting to the heart of the most monumental questions: Where do we go, and what do we do after Thanos’ snap?

Earth is a now a completely new place for the Avengers team. The survivors, lead by Iron Man
(Robert Downey Jr.) and Captain America (Chris Evans), are faced with challenging
tasks–grieving and moving forward. Forward is a different direction for each of the surviving
Marvel characters. Ultimately, a plan is devised that puts everything on the line in true
superhero fashion.


Director-brothers Anthony and Joe Russo’s Endgame is a true gem. It is a nod to the truest
Marvel fans, and a wink to the fans of the standalone Avengers movieverse. It’s not necessary
to cram all 21 Marvel films into your Blu-Ray player in preparation, but it certainly gives you the
chance to be nostalgic for all the moments that are timeless in the Marvel universe. Believe me,
there are too many to count, and Endgame is the senior-year yearbook everyone is waiting for.
Stan Lee would be proud.


Audiences have pondered all sorts of endings to this Avengers series, and in the end it is
straightforward and complete. The journey of your favorite character may not be what you
anticipate, but that is where Endgame’s humanity lies. Everyone lost someone after Thanos’
snap. Everyone will do whatever it takes.


Endgame will have its moments where you will laugh at a clever inside joke (the film is loaded
with them) and in the next minute cry every tear you thought you had (there will be many times for that too).

It’s incredible to know that the end is near, as this arc ends with Spider-Man: Far From Home,
releasing July 5, 2019. Disney and Marvel have a wealth of opportunity for the future. After all,
the end is a new beginning.


AVENGERS: ENDGAME releases in U.S. theatres on Friday, April 26.
