California Adventures Still isn’t Great

Spending my 2nd day at CA, (of 5 total days at the park), it is noon, and my family is bored. After all the improvements Disney has made over the years, it is still tough to do multiple CA days and feel like there are enough things to do. Even harder is when Guardians and Grizzly is down, just nothing to soak up all the people.
Maybe the mistake was not doing a Park Hopper, but with the price gouging, felt like $650 per person for 5 day 1 park plus LL was enough investment.
Just feels like DL has stuff to do for days, and CA just has not improved. There has been little additive which didn’t involve removing things. Hoping Disney Forward helps, but CA is sooo lacking.
What do you think Disney needs to do in order for CA to feel slightly closer to DL?
