Disneyland Park
Theme Park · Anaheim, California
Disneyland Park in Anaheim opened in 1955 and is the original Disney theme park, built under Walt Disney's own direction and the only one he saw open. It sits beside Disney California Adventure, which is a separate ticketed park and its own row here, with Downtown Disney as the free shopping and dining strip between them. Disneyland itself is compact, with themed lands arranged around Sleeping Beauty Castle and a mix of gentle classics and thrill rides. It is for families, Disney fans and anyone who likes polished theming. It is also crowded, expensive and tiring: plan on a full day of walking, with the biggest queues on weekends, school holidays and in summer. Tickets are date based, there are paid line-skipping options and a phone app for mobile ordering, and ride height limits can rule out small children. Prices and product names change often, so confirm everything before you buy tickets.

Opening and closing times vary by day, season and special events, commonly opening in the morning and staying open until the evening, with later hours in summer and on holiday weekends. The park can open to resort-hotel guests earlier than the general public, and some rides and shows run on different schedules or close for refurbishment. Fireworks and parades are not nightly in every season. Check the official calendar and the app for the exact hours on your date, and confirm ticket and park reservation rules before you go. On busy days the park can reach capacity and pause entry, even for ticket holders, so arriving early is the safest approach.
