Classic shows and attractions abound at the Disneyland Resort: Pirates of the Caribbean, Splash Mountain, the Jungle Cruise, and the list goes on!  But with 12 Disney parks now open world wide there are a lot of attractions that can be enjoyed from almost every part of the globe.  Many originated in California, but which ones are still unique to the original Magic Kingdom?  Put these on your to-do list to make your next trip purely Californian.
