Disneyland is a theme park that is located at 1313 South Harbor Boulevard in Anaheim, California, USA. It opened on July 17, 1955. The park is owned and operated by The Walt Disney Company. Currently the park has been visited by more than 515 million guests since it opened to the public, including presidents, royalty, and other heads of state.
When the park initially opened, it consisted of five themed areas:
* Main Street, U.S.A., an early 20th century Midwest town
* Adventureland, featuring jungle adventures
* Frontierland, illustrating western frontier
* Fantasyland, bringing fantasy into a reality
* Tomorrowland, looking into the future.
Three additional areas were added to these original park areas later:
* New Orleans Square, based on 19th century New Orleans
* Mickey's Toontown, themed on the Toontown seen in the film Who Framed Roger Rabbit
* Critter Country, themed both to the South in the 19th century and to forests of the Pacific Northwest.
An elevated berm supports a three-foot (narrow) gauge railroad which circumnavigates the park. Disneyland features rides and attractions designed to appeal to all ages.
In 1998 Disneyland was renamed Disneyland Park in order to distinguish it from the larger Disneyland Resort complex. Today, there are three other parks which share the Disneyland name, Disneyland Resort Paris in Paris, France, Hong Kong Disneyland Resort in Hong Kong, China, and Tokyo Disneyland in Tokyo, Japan. These resorts are in addition to Walt Disney World Resort in Florida, whose Disneyland-like park is called the Magic Kingdom.
