When Walt Disney Draw a figure of a mouse in the 1920's when he was just a struggling animator in the depths of despair at not succeding at that time, never did he realized that he was setting the foundation of a Worldwide Entertainment Empire and the "Happiest Place on Earth", This Disneyland started it all when it opened in 1955 in the LA suburb of Anaheim which was a backwater then. Today, about 520 million people have visited this theme park and many have been repeat performers (like me). Disneyland revolutionized the way that theme parks will become a total package for families and groups. Again, it all started with one anonymous pet mouse of Walt Disney!
It Gives you the goosebumps upon entering disneyland since the last time i've been here was when a was 18 years old (ages ago!) and again back for the 50th anniversary in 2005. Disneyland is divided into Themes or realms which radiate like the four cardinal points of the compass from Central Plaza, and well-concealed backstage areas. These themes are the ff: Main Street USA, Adventureland, New Orleans Square, Frontierland, Critter Country, Fantasyland, Mickey's Toontown and Frontierland. There's different rides and attractions for the whole family and it was a good thing that the last time i've been here was late september so it was a lean season unlike in summer or spring break so you can ride almost all rides in one day without buying front of line passes.

We have many theme parks in Southern California, but Disneyland is simply the best. This fact is reflected in the price of its tickets--it is definitely worth it. Once in a while, Southern Californians are given promo prices for "2fer" tickets--two theme parks for the price of one (the other park being the California Adventure). I personally think that it's a great deal although I have not availed of it yet.
I recently visited Disneyland for the second time. It was a holiday (Columbus Day) so the park became pretty crowded pretty soon. Fortunately, I was familiar with the attractions plus I knew about FastPass so I was able to maximize my visit. The attractions I saw that day include Star Tours, Jungle Cruise, Haunted Mansion, Tom Sawyer Island, Indiana Jones Adventure, Splash Mountain, Mark Twain Riverboat, and the Parade. My ticket allowed me to visit the California Adventure theme park, too. There, I saw the "Aladdin" musical at the Hyperion Theatre. I also rode Soarin' Over California, which was like flying over the major cities and parks of the Golden State. By the way, I wanted to check out Disneyland's Pirates of the Caribbean but the line was simply too long.
One day was not enough to see even half of the major attractions in Disneyland and California Adventure. To me, Disneyland is still the "Happiest Place on Earth," and California Adventure is a nice complement. Leave a Comment

I should go there when I was child but I enjoyed like a child at some parts.

The park is owned and operated by The Walt Disney Company.
When the park initially opened, it consisted of five themed areas:
Main Street, U.S.A., an early 20th century Midwest town
Adventureland, featuring jungle adventures
Frontierland, illustrating western frontier
Fantasyland, bringing fantasy into a reality
Tomorrowland, looking into the future.
After the inital opening, three additional areas were added:
In 1966, New Orleans Square, based on 19th century New Orleans
In 1972, "Bear Country", later renamed Critter Country, themed both to the South in the 19th century and to forests of the Pacific Northwest.
In 1993, Mickey's Toontown, themed on the Toontown seen in the film Who Framed Roger Rabbit.
Look out for parade along Main Street and fireworks display at nighttime. Leave a Comment

Seriously - what is there to say about Disneyland! It's the happiest place on Earth and everybody knows what to expect: rides and fun and caroon-characters. OK, so here are a couple of things that might help out:
- Want to avoid lines?
Go off-season. We went on a Tuesday in November - it was fabulous. There were no lines - the longest wait we had was about 10 minutes!!! This is fantastic considering wait-times of up to 3 hours during busy season. Just make sure it's not a school-holiday.
- Want to meet Mickey?
If you don't run into Mickey on Main-street, go to Toontown (behind Small World) and go into the Mickey house. You have to walk through all the rooms and in the very end after the film-vault you will get a chance to meet Mickey and take pictures with him.
- Tired?
Go on a ride around the park in the Disney-railroad - you get to see everything and you get to rest at the same time.
- What's the best?
Our favorites: Pirates of the Caribbean, Indiana Jones and Small World; also good: Haunted House, Toontown (good for pics), Space Mountain; made out more than it really is: Submarine. Leave a Comment

Even though Disneyland is more popular for its cartoon characters, I spent most of my time there enjoying the rides at the Adventure Park (For the uninitiated, Disneyland consists of 2 parks - the main Disneyland park and the Adventure Park opposite it). Don't miss the screaming roller coaster, the Maliboomer vertical ride and Soaring over California rides. The Maliboomer ride takes you vertically up in 4 seconds, stops for a second or two (and this is the best part of the ride) before bringing you back down. The feeling of weightlessness at the top is simply indescribable. Soaring over California is a technological marvel and would present you with spectacular panoramic views.
If you are not traveling with kids, I would suggest you spend more time Adventure park than the Disneyland park.
At the Disney Park, things not to be missed are the 'Parade of Dreams' and fireworks display. Although I spent just 1 day at Disneyland, I believe that is enough to enjoy the flavors of Disneyland.

The particularity of this park is that it is the first of all the Disney parks that have been build. That’s what I like about it, you really feel you’re in the original one.
We were lucky, 2006 celebrated Disneyland’s 50th birthday, with a special parade for the occasion. Fairy everywhere of course, and such a care of details ! How fun to visit Mickey and Minnie’s houses in Toontown…and how great to see kids’eyes sparkling with joy when they meet Cinderella or the Little Mermaid !
But queues are really long. Try to get “fast pass” wherever you can, so you come back at the time indicated on your ticket and the line will go faster.
We appreciated a ride on the Splash Mountain with that heat :-) And Space Mountain, where you are surrounded by thousands of stars… and of course Pirates of the Caribbean and Capt’ain Jack Sparrow :-) Leave a Comment

Oh yeah!! I love all the fast rides. Why don't you try some?

This is the first disneyland we've been to. We went in early sept (I think it was just after the kids in US went back to school) and the park was quite empty. California Adventure was boring as the rides were seriously neither exciting nor interesting. Disneyland itself was cool. We didnt really explore the whole park as we only had 1 afternoon, but it was enough for us. The rides were not really the exciting "Cedar Point"or "Six FLags" type. It was the kind of rides that were really suitable for the whole family. Kids would find them exciting and adults would also not be bored. The disney characters were also everywhere. We got to take pictures with Minnie as we caught her on the streets. I was a little disappointed with the Pirates of the Carribean section as i was sort of hoping to catch sight of and plant a kiss on Johnny Depp. Leave a Comment
