Where is Disneyland Located?

Disneyland Resort FAQs with Mouse Brief: Where is Disneyland?

“Disneyland” could refer to a few different places, but if you are searching for the “Happiest Place on Earth” and the original Disney theme park, you will find it in Anaheim, California in the United States of America.

The Original Disneyland Park is in Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, California

The original Disneyland Park is part of Disneyland Resort in Anaheim at 1313 South Harbor Boulevard. As of 2001, Disneyland Resort also has a second theme park: Disney California Adventure Park.

Disneyland Park, Disney California Adventure Park plus the Downtown Disney District, three Disneyland Resort Hotels, the Esplanade and various infrastructure including parking, security and guest services make up the Disneyland Resort.

When you hear others referring to “Disneyland” they may be talking about the original Disneyland Park or Disneyland Resort as a whole. They may also be referring to other Disney parks outside of California and even the United States.

Anaheim, California 92802

Disneyland Resort is located right in the city of Anaheim in Orange County, California in the United States. While Walt Disney World in Florida is practically a city unto itself, Disneyland Resort is located right on the city streets of Anaheim. As a guest, this allows you easy access to nearby hotels, dining and public transportation not facilitated by the Walt Disney Company, which also gives you easy ways to save money. There are hotels directly across the street from Disneyland Resort that cost significantly less than the Disneyland Resort Hotels. Some “outside” hotels, like this one, even offer a closer walk to the parks than the Disneyland Hotel! Others offer park views.

• Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, California USA with Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure Park
• Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Florida, USA with Magic Kingdom Park, EPCOT, Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park and Disney’s Hollywood Studios
