Anaheim

Thirty miles east of Los Angeles is the well-known city of Anaheim California. The tenth largest city in California, and home to the Disneyland Resort and Disney’s California Adventure, Anaheim is a well-known city. Part of this city’s popularity is due to the fact that in the 1950’s,Walt Disney chose to build a theme park on what used to be acres of orange groves.


Disneyland California Adventure opened in 2001, and has since drawn ever-increasing crowds to Anaheim California. There are 27 restaurants, 18 stores, and great adventures like a flight simulator called Soarin over California. There is also a unique ferris wheel, and water rides.


When Disney’s California Adventure theme park opened, visitors flocked to Anaheim to try the rides and games that are themed towards California attractions and cities, like California Screamin, Grizzly River Run, and Mulholland Madness. Often visitors will plan their Disney vacations to include a visit to this 55-acre park, which is located right next to Disneyland.


Every year, millions of visitors come to Anaheim. With so many guests coming to the Disney resort, Disney World Vacation Packages allow one to combine the cost of flight, hotel accommodations, and admission to the park. From the food to the rental car, you can end up spending more than you have planned rather quickly, so Disney World vacation packages can help families save a lot of money and time by paying for most of the major expenses ahead of time, so that they know beforehand how much they’re spent, which can help with budgeting their Disney vacations and save them the trouble of having to find an Anaheim hotel.


The original theme park is filled with classic fun, with familiar favorites like Main Street USA, Adventureland, Tommorowland, and Fantasyland, each of which delights young and old alike. Downtown Disney and Mickey’s Toon Town are two of the newest attractions that continue the old fashioned cartoon theme. If you’re in Anaheim, be sure to visit the nearby attractions in Southern California like Hollywood and the movie studios.


There are excellent shops and restaurants to explore at the park, so that there is plenty of variety on Disney vacations, like the familiar House of Blues restaurant. There are tons of souvenir shops, museums, and interesting places to visit like the ESPN Zone and Raplh Brennan’s Jazz Kitchen.


With cotton candy, popcorn, and fun galore, this is a city made just for children. Adults will have a blast as well seeing the entertaining shows, and taking a spin on the thrilling amusement rides and visiting the arcades. No matter what your age, you are sure to have a blast when you reserve one of the Disney World vacation packages to Anaheim California.


If you spend your whole vacation in an Anaheim hotel you will be missing out. After all, you’re only minutes from Southern California beaches and the scenic California deserts. Anaheim is a great central spot that is a great home base to enjoy your California vacation from.
