About
Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, California, stands as America's original Disney theme park destination, featuring two world-class parks: Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure Park. Since 1955, this magical kingdom has been creating unforgettable memories for families from around the globe.
The resort spans 500 acres and offers everything from classic attractions like Space Mountain and Pirates of the Caribbean to newer experiences inspired by Pixar films and Marvel superheroes. Visitors can explore themed lands including Fantasyland, Tomorrowland, and Cars Land, each offering unique rides, shows, and character meet-and-greets. The Downtown Disney District provides additional shopping and dining options just steps from the park entrances.
Whether you're experiencing the wonder of watching fireworks over Sleeping Beauty Castle, enjoying a Dole Whip on a warm California day, or meeting beloved Disney characters, the resort offers something special for every member of the family. The parks typically open early morning and close late evening, with extended hours during peak seasons.
Three Disney Grand Californian Hotel & Spa, Paradise Pier Hotel, and Grand Californian Hotel provide on-site accommodations, though many nearby hotels offer shuttle services. Planning ahead is recommended, especially during busy periods like summer and holidays, as attractions can have significant wait times. The resort's attention to detail extends from the carefully designed attractions to the friendly Cast Members who help create the Disney magic that has made this destination a must-visit for families worldwide.
Accessibility
Disneyland Resort provides comprehensive accessibility accommodations throughout both theme parks. Parking for guests with disabilities is available in the Mickey and Friends Parking Structure, Pixar Pals Parking Structure, and Toy Story Parking Area. Wheelchair-accessible trams and shuttles transport guests from parking areas to the park entrances.
Wheelchairs and Electric Conveyance Vehicles (ECVs) are available for rent at the Disneyland Resort Main Entrance for use in both theme parks and the Downtown Disney District. Many attractions feature wheelchair and ECV accessibility, with some offering lift access to the right of main stairs where needed.
The resort offers the Disability Access Service (DAS) program specifically designed for guests with developmental disabilities like autism who cannot wait in conventional queues for extended periods. In Disneyland Park, Location Return Times are available for select attractions like Casey Jr. Circus Train, allowing guests to return at designated times rather than waiting in standard lines.
Most dining locations, restrooms, and shops throughout the resort accommodate mobility devices. For guests with visual or hearing disabilities, assistive listening devices and other accommodations are available. Contact Disney Guest Relations for current accessibility details and to arrange specific accommodations needed for your visit.
