Disneyland is a famous theme park in Anaheim, California. It is one of the theme parks operated by Walt Disney Parks and Resorts. The park was the brainchild of the late American entrepreneur Walt Disney, who wanted a park to entertain people, in a grander scale than the theme parks he visited with his daughters in the 1930s and 40s.

Disneyland opened to the public on 18 July, 1955 with 20 attractions. Since then, the park has undergone numerous expansions, adding theme pavilions related to various Hollywood movies, particularly Disney animated ones. The public area of Disneyland covers 85 acres (34 hectares).

When it opened, Disneyland had five theme precincts namely Main Street USA, Adventureland, Fantasyland, Frontierland and Tomorrowland. Since then, new precincts have been added, among them Holidayland (1957), New Orleans Square (1966), Bear Country (1972), Mickey's Toontown (1993).

The transportation at Disneyland is in itself a tourist attraction. They include the Disneyland Railway, the Disneyland Monorail and the Main Street vehicles, including a double-decker bus and a horse-drawn streetcar, among others.
