(Buena Vista) Street Cred In its original form, the front section of Disney California Adventure was a hodgepodge of iconography that served little purpose other than as a means of egress to the attractions in the back of the park. Now, it is a richly themed, inviting, evocative place that helps set the tone and tell a cohesive story. See my take on Buena Vista Street and Carthay Circle and how Disney (mostly) got it right.
