Disneyland Park Overview

"Disneyland will never be completed. It will continue to grow as long as there is imagination left in the world." - Walt Disney This has always been the case for Disneyland. Attractions and rides have come and gone since the 1955 opening yet the heritage and basic layout have (aside from expansion) always been preserved.  Disneyland 1955: Sourced from http://www.justdisney.com/disneyland/disneyland_photo_pages/aerial/aerial.html Currently, Disneyland consists of 8 major lands or themed areas. The round about looking area at the centre of the park (shown in both maps) is called The Hub; tying all areas together like the points of a compass. I will go through these lands briefly so you have an idea of what each area has to offer. Main Street USA is the first area you enter as you pass under the train station, into "The world of Yesterday, Tomorrow and Fantasy." It pays homage to Walt's Hometown of Marceline Missouri in 1910 and is prob...

Getting There: 3. Airport to Disneyland

The hard part is over and after the 12 hour, time defying flight, you're feeling like Marty McFly, arriving at LAX Airport 4 hours earlier on the same day you departed. As excited as you are to get going and collapse into your hotel bed you realise Anaheim is still at least 1 hour away, depending on your mode of transport. So what is the best option to get from LAX to Disneyland? Once more this will depend on personal preference, budget and how many you have in your party. Below I will provide you with some of the most common/simple options. Shuttle Van Service: There are countless Shuttle Van services all over LAX. They are cost effective, ride sharing transports that drop you at your hotel and are perfect for single travellers and couples.

Getting There: 5. Disneyland Ticketing

Flights? Check! Hotel? Check! Shuttle? Check! Disneyland Tickets? Read on! Disney provides many ticketing options to suit most travellers. It is structured like most theme parks throughout the world, in that the longer you stay the cheaper a day at the parks becomes. If you want to buy cheaper tickets on special elswhere feel free but I will be deaing with official Disneyland website, as prices are fixed anyway and you are guaranteed legitimacy. Here is the link:  https://disneyland.disney.go.com/tickets/ No matter how many days you are going for, with each ticket you have the option of doing one park (Disneyland or California Adventure) or buying a park hopper add on. This extra add on allows you to walk between both parks for a flat $US45, over the course of your stay (advisable). You can also add on a Max Pass for US$10 a day but this will be discussed in a later post. Below is a list of each of the ticketing options for ages 10+. For kids between 3 and 9, minus $12 fr...
