Disneyland & Anaheim

Tucked in between Los Angeles and Santa Ana in central California lies the city of Anaheim – the west coast’s answer to Florida’s theme park mecca. That’s right; this is the home of the California edition of the Disneyland Resort, but this enormous complex of themed rides, hotels, shops and restaurants isn’t the only thing that attracts holidaymakers to Anaheim.

Great reasons to holiday in Disneyland & Anaheim

The theme parks - From Buzz Lightyear astro-blasters to Indiana Jones adventures, the ways for you and the kids to enjoy your Anaheim theme park holiday are infinite, and beyond. Add a flash of Disney magic to your California holiday with a stay in Anaheim.

The location – Surf towns and blissful beaches to the west; LA’s Hollywood glitz to the north; the mystical deserts of Joshua Tree and Palm Springs’ A-list luxury to the east; the Wild West gold rush heritage of San Juan Capistrano to the south: to holiday in Anaheim is to holiday in the very heart of southern California.

The weather –Anaheim is near enough to the coast for soft sea breezes to temper the SoCal heat, so the breathless humidity of the Inland Empire further east doesn’t encroach in these parts.

The accommodation – Hotels such as Disneyland Hotel, Wyndham Anaheim Garden Grove, Sheraton Park Hotel at the Anaheim Resort, Hilton Anaheim and Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa offer a fabulous range of accommodation in Anaheim, with something for all tastes and budgets whether onsite at the theme parks of close by.
