Anaheim Attractions
Disneyland®
Since 1955, Orange County has been home to a very famous Mouse. Disneyland®, Mickey Mouse's
kingdom and the crowning jewel of Walt Disney's marketing vision, entertains millions of visitors
each year and is one of the most well-known landmarks of Southern California. The park encompasses
more than 60 major rides, 50 shops and 30 restaurants divided among eight themed lands. New
innovations like the "FastPass" system helps keep waiting in line to a minimum.
Disney's California Adventure
Disney’s California Adventure just might be the second happiest place on earth. Located directly
across from Disneyland®, California Adventure squeezes a sampling of the Golden State's major
attractions like Hollywood, Santa Monica Pier, Gold Rush Country and others, into 55 acres of
thrill rides, exhibits, shops, dining and other entertainment. California Adventure's newest
ride and attraction is The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror, an eerie trip through a haunted hotel
with a 130 ft drop at the end of it all.
Downtown Disney
Downtown Disney is a 300,000 square-foot dining/shopping/entertainment promenade. It features
such flagship entertainment facilities as a House of Blues, a 12-screen movie theater and ESPN
Zone. There are also 15 shops (including the inevitable and massive, Disney store), seven
full-service restaurants and an open-air bar. It's a fun place to relax after a busy day at
the theme parks.
Anaheim Convention Center
Anaheim first became a meetings and conventions destination in 1967 with the construction
of the domed Arena which stands on Katella Avenue. Since those early days, the Anaheim Convention
Center has gone through 3 major expansion projects plus several cosmetic renovations to update

completed expansion is a complete transformation of the Anaheim Convention Center structure and
surrounding campus.
