First, let me introduce myself: I am Bill from Anaheim, California - USA. 

I love to travel, and during my travels, I was always looking for a good source of information about the area I am visiting. I bought travel guides. I searched travel websites looking for information that only the locals would know, and I always came up empty-handed. 

When visiting Anaheim, you are guaranteed to have fun. The obvious primary destination is The Disneyland resort area. This includes Disneyland, California Adventure, Downtown Disney and the Disneyland hotel.

Disney owns three properties in the Disney Resort area. The Disneyland hotel is the original hotel, which was opened along with the park opening. The other two are the Grand Californian and Paradise Pier. Each hotel has its own distinctive theme.

Disneyland opened its doors to the public on July 18, 1955. Since then over 500 million people visited the park from all over the world. It is considered the most visited park in the world, second only to Disney World in Orlando, Florida.
