About this park

The original Disney theme park, personally overseen by Walt Disney and the birthplace of modern themed entertainment. Its intimate scale and land-based layout create a uniquely walkable experience, with classic attractions, beloved dark rides, and newer additions like Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge woven together across nine themed lands.

  • The original Disneyland, with heritage attractions you can't experience anywhere else
  • Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge and Pixar-themed experiences alongside timeless classics
  • Intimate park layout where every land feels connected and within easy reach
  • Matterhorn Bobsleds, Indiana Jones Adventure, and Space Mountain among signature rides

Fun facts

  • Disneyland is the only Disney theme park designed and built under Walt Disney's direct supervision.
  • The Matterhorn Bobsleds, which opened in 1959, was the first tubular steel roller coaster ever built — a technology that revolutionized the industry.
  • Disneyland's intimate footprint of about 85 acres is smaller than Magic Kingdom's roughly 107 acres.
  • Club 33, Disney's exclusive members-only restaurant, originated at Disneyland and has inspired counterparts at other Disney parks worldwide.
  • Walt Disney had an apartment built above the Main Street Fire Station where he stayed during park development — a lamp in the window is kept lit in his memory.
