Remember... Dreams Come True is a fireworks display commemorating Disneyland's 50th anniversary. Described as an "E ticket in the sky," the show features fireworks, lower level pyrotechnics, isopar flame effects, projections and lasers set to the soundtracks of some of Disneyland's most famous rides and shows. It was created as an homage to Disneyland, its lands and attractions, and its continuing legacy.
Narrated by Julie Andrews, the show weaves sounds and images from some of Disneyland's favorite attractions, including Pirates of the Caribbean, the Haunted Mansion and Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, into the narrative of the show, and even projects images onto the castle including American flags to commemorate Main Street USA and targets to simulate the Frontierland Shooting Gallery.
Each showing of the 17:30 minute display is estimated to cost $33,000.

Living with the Land (originally Listen to the Land) is a slow-moving boat ride, which is part dark ride and part greenhouse tour focusing on agriculture, especially new technology to make agriculture more efficient and environmentally friendly.
The first portion of the ride takes guests through simulated environments of different climates, including the rain forest, the desert and the American prairie, with narration explaining how life adapts to meet the different circumstances in each ecosystem.
The second portion of the tour takes place in the Land pavilion's Living Laboratory, a giant greenhouse, featuring examples of hydroponics, aquaculture (the raising and farming of fish) and vertical growing techniques.

The Indiana Jones Adventure (formerly Indiana Jones & the Temple of the Forbidden Eye) is an enhanced motion vehicle dark ride attraction based on the Indiana Jones film series. Guests accompany intrepid archaeologist Dr. Indiana Jones on a turbulent quest, aboard military troop transport vehicles, through a dangerous lost temple guarded by a supernatural power.
The enhanced motion vehicles that make up the ride system was invented specially for this attraction, and has only been implemented in one other attraction: Dinosaur, located at Disney's Animal Kingdom. A guest's physically intense experience is programmed to achieve the illusion of greater speed and catastrophic mechanical failure using the enhanced-motion vehicle's ability to add several feet of lift then rapidly descend, shudder and tremble, and intensify cornering with counterbank and twist.

Radiator Springs Racers is a slot car dark ride attraction in Cars Land at Disney California Adventure. The attraction features a third-generation version of transport technology originally developed for the Test Track attraction at Epcot in Walt Disney World.
The attraction takes guests in a six-person vehicle through encounters with Audio Animatronic characters from the film Cars. Guests then race another vehicle through turns and hills, ending with a randomized race result.
At a cost of over $200 million, the attraction is the most expensive at Disneyland Resort and one of the most expensive theme park attractions in the world. It accounted for about 18% of the entire cost of the $1.1 billion expansion of Disney California Adventure Park.

Monsters Inc. Laugh Floor is an interactive comedy show featuring digital puppetry technology, which allows live actors to perform voices behind a large digital screen, while computer-rendered monsters appear on the screen to have dialogue with the show guests.
Having mastered the technology to capture power from human laughter, the monsters of Monstropolis find that it is easier to invite humans into their Laugh Floor, rather than visiting each one individually. Mike Wazowski (with one eye) is the show's emcee, and the various comedians that appear are tasked with making the audience laugh enough to fill the laughter can and make their quota (while supplying enough power to open the doors).
The show's unscripted nature is designed to make each performance unique. However, there are some common jokes that appear more frequently than others.
As the guests are seated, the theatre's cameras will locate guests and provide humorous captions, early Saturday Night Live style, such as "will treat everyone to churros" or "has no idea where s/he is" or "doesn't know they're on the screen" or "always hides a third eye."
The show will always focus its attention on a single guest, known as "that guy," throughout the performance. Usually, the use is as part of a punchline of a joke; for example, a monster might say, "I know how I'm going to dress up for Halloween ... I'm going as 'that guy." This guest will receive an "I Was 'That Guy'" sticker at the end of the show.
Disney Imagineers have stated that as the show continues to evolve, more acts and jokes will be added and others will be retired based on guest reactions and feedback.
I have been the "guy about the spontaneously bust out dancing" twice and "guy who is treating everyone to churros" once. I have never received a sticker.
