Nothing says USA family vacations like Disneyland, a magical place where imagination meets reality.
Built in 1955, it was the first Disney theme park, and the only one designed by Walt Disney himself.
A paradise for families and a unique experience for children and parents alike!
Disneyland Resort is made up of two main parks:
Disneyland and Disney California Adventure Park . Between the two is Downtown Disney , a more commercial district with bars, restaurants, shops and entertainment venues.
DISNEYLAND
Disneyland is said to be the "happiest place on earth"! Here are its main themed areas:
Main Street U.S.A., a trip back in time to turn-of-the-century America, Fantasyland, where you will find the iconic Sleeping Beauty Castle and can meet the heroes and villains of your favourite Disney stories, Tomorrowland, which depicts views of the future, Mickey's Toontown, home of Mickey and his friends, Frontierland in the heart of the Far West, Critter Country for some wilderness fun in the forest, New Orleans Square where you can experience the New Orleans French Quarter, Adventureland, an exotic, remote jungle adventure, and Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge.
DISNEY CALIFORNIA ADVENTURE PARK
Open since January 2001, Disney California Adventure Park is more geared towards teenagers and adults than Disneyland Park. Its theme is the history and culture of California. Here are the park's main themed areas:
Buena Vista Street, a representation of Los Angeles in the time of Walt Disney, Grizzly Peak, which is themed around California's wilderness and national parks, Hollywood Land, where you can even take a walk on Hollywood Boulevard, Pacific Wharf, a paradise by the water, Cars Land, inspired by the Disney-Pixar movie "Cars", Paradise Gardens Park (also known as Paradise Pier) and Pixar Pier, both of which are inspired by the Victorian boardwalks that were once found along the coast of California. And the brand new Avengers Campus ! The different attractions in each section will surprise you. Entertainment and fun guaranteed!

Travel reviews
Rise of the resistance is worth standing in the que as long as it takes.
Cool and very Disney. The Star Wars area is great.
The mythical park
(Translated by Google) It remains very expensive especially if you take genius passes, but very useful because there are a lot of people... even outside of weekends and holidays... but the magic worked with both children and adults!
