• Disneyland
  One of the reasons that Anaheim, California grew at such a phenomenal rate is the arrival of the Magic Kingdom in 1955; and is the only park designed and built by the master of ceremonies himself; Walt Disney. Five decades later, the park has been visited by over half a billion people from all over the United States and the world. In 2007, there were almost 15 million visitors, making the site the second most visited park in the world; behind the Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida. The dedication that greets all visitors states, "To all who come to this happy place - welcome. Disneyland is your land. Here age relives fond memories of the past and here youth may savor the challenge and promise of the future. Disneyland is dedicated to the ideals, the dreams and the hard facts that have created America... with the hope that it will be a source of joy and inspiration to all the world". Spoken by Walter Elias Disney on July 17, 1955 at 4:43 PM. And the Disney brand began to consume all other amusement park venues, all trying to emulate the ideals and the dreams that this marvelous park evokes, even 5 decades later. The company has gone through its ups and downs, and is in the worst economical period of its history, as is most of the world today. But we all know that when it comes to fulfilling dreams, even the economy, cannot stop that onward and upward conquest of adventure and hope. It is doubtful that anyone could add to the mesmerizing venues that still entice people and families from around the world, or who don't know the many amazing and wonderful rides and realms that make up the park.  The park is separated by 5 realms, like the spokes of a wagon wheel, emanating out from the Central Plaza and the journey begins on Main Street, U.S.A. Then you will visit Adventureland, with its jungle cruise, Indiana Jones Adventure, Tarzan's Treehouse, Swiss Family Robinson, and the Enchanted Tiki Room that now uses audio-animatronics to display its message in sound and robotics. Next is New Orleans Square with Pirates of the Caribbean and the Haunted Mansion; then Frontierland with its Pinewood Indians living on the banks of the Rivers of America, Fantasmic, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, Mark Twain Riverboat, Sailin Ship Columbia and the Pirate's Lair at Tom Sawyer's Island. Here you can visit the Golden Horseshoe Saloon and the Billy Hill and the Hillbillies will always broaden your smile. Critter Country is what used to be called Bear Country, but was renamed in 1988, and today houses Splash Mountain. Fantasyland is home to numerous dark rides, or rides that take place inside, the King Arthur Carousel and many other children's rides. Mickey's Toontown opened in 1993, and has Gadget's Go Coaster and Roger Rabbit's Car Toon Spin; and this is the home of two of Walt first creations', Minnie and Mickey Mouse. Tomorrowland has been revamped a few times but now is the home of Space Mountain, Innoventions, Star Tours, Honey, I shrunk the Audience, Autopia, Disney monorail Tomorrowland station, Astro Orbitor and Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters. But if you have ever been to a Disney park, then you know there are more than just rides here to keep your kids yelling and screaming and coming back for more; there are wonderful shows full of color and sounds, fireworks, characters to meet, greet and take pictures with and still so much more. Always a place to visit as the venues change irregularly.
