VIBE
Disneyland! All you’d expect and more: shiny happy families, grumpy kids with ice cream down their shirts, incredible rides, long lines…basically, more fun-o-rama than we could ever list here. (Can you tell we love it?) The complex is actually split into two parts: mega-park Disneyland (which includes the “lands” of Main Street USA, Frontierland, Adventureland, New Orleans Square, Critter Country, Fantasyland, and Mickey’s Toontown) and the smaller California Adventure (which focuses on the history and culture of the state).

WHY WE LIKE IT
It’s Disneyland! Even if you think you’re “not into” Disney, you still need to check it out.
WHAT WE WOULD CHANGE
Food and hotels inside the gates are very expensive.
GOOD TO KNOW
Parking is USD 15/day. There are three hotels and a plethora of restaurants in the park, as well as a wealth of offerings nearby.
