Disneyland is a magical world where adults turn into children

On July 17, 1955, the world's first Disneyland amusement park opened in Anaheim, California.

Every child dreams of visiting at least one of the Walt Disney amusement parks. Today, there are five such places in the world: Disneyland Park in California, Walt Disney World Recreation Center in Florida, Tokyo Disneyland, Disneyland Paris and Hong Kong Disneyland. The facilities are the most visited entertainment centers in the world. Having crossed the threshold of one of the parks, guests immediately plunge into a fairy tale created by Walt Disney. 

Visitors will meet with the characters of animated and feature films, attractions, show programs, parades, performances of artists, musicians, animators and much more. Lovers of sea holidays have the opportunity to take a cruise on one of the fashionable liners: Disney Magic, Disney Wonder, Disney Dream and Disney Fantasy.
