Paradise Pier at California Adventure at Disneyland.

The Pier represents all the towns with games, shops and restaurants, while the Wharf represents the business area of "cannery row."

Here are five quick facts about this area of the park from Disney:

1. The wood deck that make up the Boardwalk is called Curupay. The wood comes from a sustainable forest in Paraguay.

2. Recycled water continuously circulates through Paradise Bay at a rate of 450,000 gallons per hour,  the equivalent of refilling a backyard swimming pool every two minutes.

3. King Triton’s Carousel features 56 sculptured creatures that represent California’s marine life.

4. Boudin Bakery makes the sourdough bread for all of The Disneyland Resort.

5. Ghirardelli Soda Fountain and Chocolate Shop offers each guest a free sample square of chocolate.
