    The first and oldest Disney park. What we were not aware of is that at this time of year there is no parade or fireworks, just a light show. Obviously, we should have checked on that, so our fault. My family and I have always enjoyed the Disney Parks and this was our fifth Disney park. We had hired a car in San Francisco and driven to Los Angeles and based ourselves in a hotel about four miles away. Due to problems with taxis we decided to drive to the park. The traffic was very heavy at the entrance to the car park off the West Ball Road and it took about 20 minutes to get parked.

    Once inside the park we had a great time although 100 minutes queues did put us off a few things, As it was supposed to be a quiet time of year we did not purchase fast track passes. Overall we did enjoy ourselves, but the projections onto the buildings on Main Street at night were obscured in places by the trees.

    If you are a Disney fan it is still worth a visit, but do your homework better than I did.

    We stopped at the Anaheim Packing District for dinner and were pleasantly surprised. We found parking and walked a few steps to live music and a place filled with many delectable options. Each of us tried different types of food from Indian, Japanese to Indonesian. It was delicious! We hope to visit again.

    The Downtown Disney District is conveniently located next to both of the parks, making it easy to drop in for a meal or some shopping. As an Orlando local, I avoid Disney Springs at all costs. But this was cute! Tons of restaurants and shops.

    It was a great stadium to visit.Espechilly for a family day at the ballpark. The only thing I have to say is that the stadium's seats are kind of worn out.

    This is by far the best ride at Disney's California Adventure.
    The way it's themed and designed makes you really feel like you're in the movie. I love that you can have two different experiences depending on which direction the car takes you.

    I recommend using the single-rider line if you don't mind not riding with your family. You get to stand in line with them and you will wait only a third of the time.

    In April 2024 - I've attended IPC APEX 2024 that was hosted this year - and will be for next few years - by the Anaheim Convention center.
    The building of the convention center is huge - by any standard - is one of the biggest I've seen in the past years - while participating to different events in the US.
    Around the place - should you like in the campus - there are plenty of hotel choices - some of those literarily just 5-10 min walking distance from the spot.
    The building is a steel and glass kind of construction, functional with thousands of rooms - bigger or smaller - and can host several events in parallel.
    Lighting , aircon and sound system in the meeting rooms is also very good .
    Escalators always working - although I was taking the stairs typically - however in terms of accessibility it is no problem.
    In terms of restaurants - in the area around the convention you've got options - and based on what I saw over the week I've spent there - for lunch there are typically food trucks , either in front of the convention center either near Anaheim arena- closer to the Katella Ave.
    Overall a very good venue - should you plan to attend an event there and you have doubts , don't have any the place is definitely up to hosting any kind of conventions, trade show, etc.

    Great concert venue but it was cold in the arena. Sound and views were great! A little disorganized on parking going in but got out quickly

    I wasn't sure how this would be since we love the Tower of Terror so much, but our love of the Guardians of the Galaxy made it amazing. Lots of humor and action that you would expect from the movies as well as some fun Disney magic to make the ride more enjoyable.

    What a wonderful natural treasure in a busy metropolitan area! Our family had been at Disneyland the day before and we needed a down day. This park was perfect for our group. The grandkids played on the playgrounds and most of the adults walked the trails and enjoyed the birds on the lake. We were there too late to rent the swan paddle boats - rentals closed at 3 p.m. (Maybe stay open longer for afternoon visitors.)

    The entrance fee was reasonable for our group $3 per car (for 12 people). There were restrooms and sink stations available. Beware the squirrels though! They are not afraid of humans and will come right up to you! We are glad we found this nice place to relax.

    This place if you have kids from say 1 to 12 is the best, its only 26 bucks in, there are unlimited rides, no queues, its clean well run and not a rip off. We brought our 1 and a half year old and she absolutely loved it. We spent about 2 and half hours there, there are plenty of places to take shade and sit down, park the buggy and toilets etc. we thought it was a perfect size for kids, you can let them loose as it’s not a big area, and then there are 2 roller coasters and a drop ride for the Tweenies, we went on the rollercoaster (minus the baby) and it was really good. There is also a small animal petting area where the kids can brush goats and a pig and there are chickens. Also there is free parking. We liked this place so much we went twice in the same week. Cannot fault it 10/10.
