Proud home to what is arguably the most famous castle on the planet, the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim has spent decades entertaining young and old alike. It's little wonder then why many call Disneyland Resort 'The Happiest Place on Earth'.
Things to see and do in Disneyland
Whether you're a Star Wars fan, want to take a trip to Space Mountain, looking to join a Mad Hatter's Tea Party or simply seek some classic rides like Dumbo the Flying Elephant, Disneyland offers the chance to enjoy spectacular shows, incredible rides and a world of creativity that dazzles both day and night. Here are some ideas to get you started on your Disneyland journey.
The original, and the only Disneyland designed and built under the direct guidance of Walt Disney himself, Anaheim's Disneyland has been thrilling generations of families since 1955. With eight different lands on offer, including Adventureland, Frontierland and Fantasy Island, you'll want to put aside at least a whole day just to cover it.
From the classics of Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck and Goofy to the icons of Pixar like Woody from Toy Story and more, all your favourite animated characters will be on display and ready for holiday snaps. For the older kids (and adults who like to be kids), Avengers Campus is the place where superb heroes go to train.
The downtown Disney district, set just outside the theme park, is perfect for souvenir shopping, dining and to take a break from the wonderful world within the park. When refreshed, catch a steam train for an 18 minute scenic journey around the park, then stop off at the Disney Gallery to marvel at the historic memorabilia and original drawings that helped bring Disneyland to life.
From Tarzan to Han Solo, Indiana Jones to Pirates of the Caribbean and Sleeping Beauty to Winnie The Pooh, there really is something for all ages at Disneyland. Take a trip on the Mark Twain Riverboat, scare yourself silly in the haunted mansion or watch the breathtaking spectacle of Fantasmic!, the nightly show with special effects, pyrotechnics and entertainment.
With more fun and adventure packed into Anaheim Disneyland than you can possibly imagine, Disneyland truly is a gift for generations to enjoy.
