Disneyland Resort where it all began
Walt’s original park, Disney California Adventure and Club Level stays in Anaheim.
Why Disneyland
Classic Disney, done right
Disneyland is the only park Walt Disney walked, and its compact size makes it perfect for a long weekend or a first Disney trip. Two parks sit steps apart, with Downtown Disney in between.
I’ve planned Disneyland trips from Club Level at Pixar Place to hard-to-get Disneyland After Dark tickets, so you get the best of both parks without the guesswork.
