Anaheim, California is probably
most famous as the home of Disneyland, the first Disney theme park, known around
the world as "The Happiest Place on Earth”, but there is much more family fun to
be found in and around this city in Orange County, California.
In addition to Disneyland with
its many “lands,” rides, and attractions which grow in popularity year by year,
there is Disney's California Adventure. This spectacular addition occupies about
55 acres of the original 100 acre Disneyland parking lot. Located immediately to
the south of the Magic Kingdom, this entirely separate gated features all the
best of California in condensed form.
The themed areas within
California Adventure include an authentic replica of a California seaside
resort, complete with a Boardwalk and "ocean front” amusement park. There is a
roller coaster, aptly named California Screamin', and other rides. There is
"Cannery Row" area representing the Monterey area, a hint of Tinsel town in the
Hollywood Studios backlot, a high desert aviation area named Condor Flats, an
agricultural section called Bountiful Valley, and daily wine tasting with the
Mondavi family from Napa Valley. Finally, there is a wilderness area called
Redwood Creek which features the symbol for the entire park, Grizzly Peak. This
outcropping in the shape of a bear’s head has a white-water rafting adventure.
Also included within the park itself is the Grand Californian Hotel, themed as a
wilderness lodge in the architectural style of the historically significant
National Parks lodges.
Enjoy sizzling steaks, seafood,
exotic entrees, desserts, and a wide range of beverages, including wine and beer
at the cafes and restaurants in the Disney parks. From All-American offerings to
the authentic flavors of Asia, Mexico and Italy, finding a great meal is easy!
In addition to the Disneyland
theme parks, there is Knott's Berry Farm, which began in the 1930s as a roadside
stand offering Mrs. Knott’s homemade pies and delicious chicken dinners. Today,
it is a theme park with over 165 shows, attractions, and high tech rides for
thrill seekers of all ages.
