Others Near Anaheim,CA
Downtown Disney District - R MarKC: I’ve been coming here for years, and it’s been amazing to see how much it has evolved! One of my favorite additions is the grassy area with comfy seating, it’s perfect for families to relax and enjoy the live music. On our recent visit, we had dinner at Jazz Kitchen, then grabbed some coffee and sat at the comfy chairs while listening to the music.
There are plenty of great shops, though it can get pretty busy on weekends. We went on a Thursday, and it was much more relaxed and enjoyable. Just a heads up: don’t forget to get your parking validated. If you spend over $20, parking is $10 for the first 4 hours. Dining at a restaurant gets you 6 hours with validation.
Overall, it’s a fantastic spot to enjoy good food, shopping, great music, and quality time with family.
Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance - Anaheim Halide Ebcinoglu: Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance – A Truly Immersive Experience
Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance was by far my favorite ride at Disneyland. It was full of big surprises and had an incredibly engaging story that made me feel like I was part of the Star Wars universe. The staff were so dedicated to their roles that they truly felt like actors in the Star Wars saga, making the experience even more immersive. It was a ride unlike any other, with thrilling moments and amazing details that left me in awe.
Despite the long waiting times, I ended up doing the ride three times because it was just that amazing! I’m still dreaming of it, and it definitely ranks as one of the top 5 highlights of our entire US holiday.
World of Color - ONE - Anaheim vinod palan: Disneys World of Colors is undeniably one of Disneys greatest creations! It showcases unparalleled creativity, taking imagination to extraordinary heights and delivering a mesmerizing spectacle.
For the best viewing experience, head to the center of the viewing area, directly opposite the Mickey Ferris wheel. While standing in front of the railing, be prepared to get a little wet, feel the heat, and immerse yourself in the breathtaking display. Arriving early ensures a front-row seat to one of the most exceptional shows in the world.
Even after watching it more than ten times, I still cant get enough of it. However, I believe that if Disney applied the same level of creative thinking to enhance the viewing and enjoyment of the show, similar to how we have in Six Flags dolphin show, it would be truly outstanding. This approach should also be extended to the world-famous fireworks show and the fantastic Fantasmic show.
Grand Canyon Diorama - Anaheim Neil Bailey: You have to take the train to see it! But its a fun surprise on the last leg of the train journey. Is it super flashy and hip and cool? nope, but its a fun animatronic trip through the grand canyon. Felt like a throwback to an older time of Disney and i love it for that.
Disney California Adventure Park - Alaskan Beachbums: We mistakenly went the night the seniors from the local high schools went. It was so crowded and wait times to see and do were extra. The crew and staff were wonderful and more fun than the characters. Trying to time the walking and rides with everything else was difficult, and we seemed to spend more time walking and standing than doing fun stuff.
Fountains - Anaheim Kelly: Whenever youre in the area inside of the Convention center, listen closely and youll hear this fountain. Its really lovely to look at. Come here at night because the surrounding areas and the lights on this fountain makes it magnificent for taking pictures or just looking at it.
Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters - Anaheim Leah: I’d heard mixed reviews about this ride, and the first time I rode it I leaned more towards poor reviews; however, before my second ride, I realized I needed to check where the laser shot out from the gun, so I was fully-prepared for round two! Immediately after leaving the loading point, there’s a dark section, so I shot my laser at the black wall, which helped me see where the laser shot in relation to how I held the gun, total game changer! Wait This ride went from being a 2/5 to a 4/5. I had so much fun, it’s interactive, has good theming, and best of all, no motion sickness.
Wait times for this attraction seemed to fluctuate significantly throughout the day, so if you keep an eye on it, you won’t wait longer than 15-20mins. If your wait happens to be longer, I recall the A/C was always on high-blast in this queue, so at the very least, it’ll cool you down!
Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run - Anaheim Halide Ebcinoglu: Fun family experience—great ride for Star Wars fans!
We had a great time on Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run! It was really fun to do as a family, since you ride with a small group and each person gets a role to play—we got to “fly” the Falcon together, which made it even more exciting.
The whole experience is well-designed and immersive, from the queue to the cockpit. Definitely a must-try if you’re into Star Wars or just looking for a fun interactive ride at Disneyland.
Yorba Regional Park - Anaheim DG Kings: Very nice woodsy park. Came here on Easter Sunday, busy day but still plenty of parking, calm outdoors family environment. Ducks, big playgrounds, and lakes for fishing. Kids really enjoyed it. Would definitely come again.
Casey Jr. Circus Train - Anaheim Earl Grylls: This is a ride in Fantasyland that seems more for the young ones, but being young at heart my wife and I endure the dirty looks to ride it anyway! Casey Jr takes you on a fun circuit around Fantasyland and the Storybook Land Canal Boats. A catchy tune plays during your short exciting voyage! Remember, dont feed the wildlife, especially the ones in the monkey cage!
