On this day in 2002, the first guests entered “a bug’s land” at Disney California Adventure for a media preview. With inspiration taken from the 1998 Pixar film, ‘A Bug’s Life,’ the land put visitors in the shoes of insects. Attractions on opening day included Flik’s Flyers, Francis’ Ladybug Boogie, Tuck and Roll’s Drive ‘Em Buggies, and Heimlich’s Chew Chew Train. The 4-D film “It’s Tough to Be a Bug!” was housed at the front of the land and opened with the park in 2001.
