Disneyland Resort

Anaheim, California

The Happiest Place on Earth

Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, California is where the magic of Disney began. Opened by Walt Disney himself on July 17, 1955, Disneyland Park is the only Disney theme park that Walt personally walked through — and that history and heart is felt in every corner of the resort.

Today, the resort features two incredible theme parks — the original Disneyland Park and the spectacular Disney California Adventure — along with three Disney Resort hotels, Downtown Disney, and world-class dining and entertainment.

As an Authorized Disney Vacation Planner, Relaxing Vacations can help you plan every detail of your Disneyland vacation — from park tickets and hotel accommodations to dining reservations and Lightning Lane strategies — all at no extra cost to you!

Expert Tips for Disneyland Resort

  • 1Book your Disneyland Resort hotel early — the Grand Californian sells out months in advance, especially during peak seasons.
  • 2Purchase park tickets before you arrive — prices are lower online and you can choose your park reservation dates.
  • 3Download the Disneyland app before your trip — it's essential for Lightning Lane passes, dining reservations, and wait times.
  • 4Plan to visit both parks — a Park Hopper ticket lets you experience the best of both Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure.
