Introduction

Disneyland Resort, in Anaheim southeast of Los Angeles, was personally unveiled by Walt Disney in 1955 as the world's first Disney park — the original Happiest Place on Earth. It comprises two theme parks: Disneyland's nine lands stretch from Main Street, U.S.A. to a galaxy far, far away, with classics like Space Mountain, Pirates of the Caribbean and the Matterhorn; next door, Disney California Adventure leans into thrill rides and California culture, led by Guardians of the Galaxy — Mission: Breakout! and the Pixar Pal-A-Round wheel. Evening fireworks and parades crown the magic, with Sleeping Beauty Castle at the end of Main Street as every fan's pilgrimage site. Use the official app for ride reservations and wait times; two days, one park each, is the relaxed plan.
