Disneyland

Opened on 17 July 1955 in an 88-acre (36-hectare) orange grove in Anaheim California, Disneyland Resort claims to be the happiest place on earth. The park, which was conceived by Walt Disney in 1948, was originally to be called Mickey Mouse Park and was built as a place where adults could recapture their youth and enjoy a great day out with their children. Today, the park is one of America's most famous attractions and undoubtedly California's most visited theme park. There are eight "lands" in total: Main Street USA, Tomorrowland, Frontierland, Fantasyland, Adventureland, Critter Country, Mickey's Toontown and New Orleans Square. Some of the most popular of the 60 rides available include the Haunted Mansion, Space Mountain and Indiana Jones Adventure. There are also regular shows, including Fantasmic!, which stars the legendary Mickey Mouse himself, and the Parade of Stars where guests have the opportunity to meet other famous Disney characters, such as Donald Duck and Goofy.
