Anaheim Attractions
Disneyland® Resort
Since 1955, Orange County has been home to a very famous Mouse. Disneyland® Resort,
Mickey Mouse's kingdom and the crowning jewel of Walt Disney's marketing vision,
entertains millions of visitors each year and is one of the most well-known
landmarks of Southern California. The park encompasses more than 60 major rides,
50 shops and 30 restaurants divided among eight themed lands. New innovations
like the "FastPass" system helps keep waiting in line to a minimum.
Disney's California Adventure® Park
Disney's California Adventure® Park just might be the second happiest place
on earth. Located directly across from Disneyland® Resort, Disney's California Adventure® Park squeezes
a sampling of the Golden State's major attractions like Hollywood, Santa Monica
Pier, Gold Rush Country and others, into 55 acres of thrill rides, exhibits,
shops, dining and other entertainment. Disney's California Adventure® Park's newest ride and
attraction is The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror, an eerie trip through a haunted
hotel with a 130 ft drop at the end of it all.
Downtown Disney
Downtown Disney is a 300,000 square-foot dining/shopping/entertainment promenade.
It features such flagship entertainment facilities as a House of Blues, a 12-screen

It's a fun place to relax after a busy day at the theme parks.
