  • Review this attraction
  • From 1955 onwards, the landmarks of Disneyland – the Matterhorn, Sleeping Beauty’s Castle, and New Orleans Square – have been as familiar and as “real” as the Eiffel Tower or the Empire State Building. In 2001, a second theme park, Disney’s California Adventure™, was added adjacent to the original. Also new is Downtown Disney®, an outdoor entertainment, restaurant, and retail district. Together with the two parks and three Disney hotels, Downtown Disney forms the enormous complex called Disneyland Resort.

    Note: Prices of Disneyland tickets increase annually; discounted multi-day and multi-park passes are available The map you’ll get with your Disneyland ticket will provide the specifics about the show schedule for the day
Top 10 Attractions
  • 1. Pirates of the Caribbean

    Hold on to your hat as you plunge down into a watery world of darkness where wicked pirates plunder a Caribbean village. Charming in spite of the low-key special effects. In New Orleans Square.

  • 2. Haunted Mansion

    Dare to enter the netherworld of this mysterious mansion in New Orleans Square inhabited by 999 ghoulish spirits. Board a “Doom Buggy” for a chilling ride and beware of hitchhiking ghosts. A perennial favorite.

  • 3. Indiana Jones Adventure

    Join Indy in his battle against the forces of evil on this bumpy adventure ride through an old temple in Adventureland. Clamped into a rickety jeep, you’ll plunge into deep caverns, skirt fiery lava, and escape from being crushed by a scary giant boulder.

  • 4. Splash Mountain

    Follow Brer Rabbit and other characters from Disney’s Song of the South as you travel along an enchanting watery path aboard hollowed-out flume logs. The final drop will leave you gasping, exultant…and wet. In Critter Country.

  • 5. Matterhorn Bobsleds

    The park’s first roller coaster may look tame but it does manage to pack a surprising punch. Strap yourself into a double-seater bobsled for a bumpy but exhilarating race down and through the mountain, before bracing yourself for the grand finale. A must-do for kids! In Fantasyland.

  • 6. Big Thunder Mountain Railroad

    Hop on to this runaway mine train roller coaster in Frontierland for a journey through the Wild West. Charge through bat caverns, brave falling rocks, and encounter coyotes and other scaries.

  • 7. Star Tours

    You’re a space tourist headed for the moon of Endor aboard a StarSpeeder when your craft suddenly takes a wrong turn and winds up battling Darth Vader and his evil forces. A hair-raising motion simulator ride designed by George Lucas. In Tomorrowland.

  • 8. Meeting Mickey

    An audience with Mickey brings smiles to kids’ faces. Before meeting Mr. Mouse up close and personal, you’re invited to stroll through his house and garden and visit the set of one of his cartoons. In Mickey’s Toontown.

  • 9. Roger Rabbit’s Car Toon Spin

    Get ready for a ride on the wild side as you pilot a runaway cab through the wacky and fun world of Roger Rabbit. In Mickey’s Toontown.

  • 10. Autopia

    Kids love this ride which puts them behind the wheel of two-seater sports cars for a slow but fun trip on the curvy roadways of Autopia. In Tomorrowland.
