Disneyland
Disneyland is a theme park that is located at 1313 South Harbor Boulevard in Anaheim, California, USA. It opened on July 17, 1955. The park is owned and operated by The Walt Disney Company. Currently the park has been visited by more than 515 million guests since it opened to the public, including presidents, royalty, and other heads of state.
When the park initially opened, it consisted of five themed areas:
Main Street, U.S.A., an early 20th century Midwest town
Adventureland, featuring jungle adventures
Frontierland, illustrating western frontier
Fantasyland, bringing fantasy into a reality
Tomorrowland, looking into the future.
After the inital opening, three additional areas were added:
In 1966, New Orleans Square, based on 19th century New Orleans
In 1972, as "Bear Country", later renamed Critter Country, themed both to the South in the 19th century and to forests of the Pacific Northwest.
In 1993, Mickey's Toontown, themed on the Toontown seen in the film Who Framed Roger Rabbit
An elevated berm supports a narrow gauge railroad which circumnavigates the park. Disneyland features rides and attractions designed to appeal to all ages.
In 1998 Disneyland was renamed Disneyland Park in order to distinguish it from the larger Disneyland Resort complex.
In addition to the original Disneyland park in in Anaheim, California, USA, there are three other parks which share the Disneyland name, Disneyland Resort Paris in Paris, France, Hong Kong Disneyland Resort in Hong Kong, China, and Tokyo Disneyland in Tokyo, Japan. These resorts are in addition to Walt Disney World Resort in Florida, whose Disneyland-like park is called the Magic Kingdom.
迪士尼乐园（Disneyland，正式全名为Disneyland Park），是一个位于美国加州安纳罕市（Anaheim）的主题乐园。由华特·迪士尼一手创办的迪士尼乐园是由华特·迪士尼公司（The Walt Disney Company）所创立与营运的一系列主题乐园与度假区中的第一个，离洛杉矶市中心大约有20分钟的车程（高速公路）。迪士尼乐园于1955年开放，吸引了众多小朋友和成年人。内有许多迪士尼人物，如米老鼠，及迪士尼电影场景。园内设施也经常更换。原来在一个人工湖内，可以乘潜艇看到真人扮的美人鱼，但因扮演卡通人物的员工工作条件不适应长期在水下，所以后来改成了假的美人鱼。园内曾一度有座很高的假雪山，人们可以坐缆车从中间穿过，但也已经退出了历史舞台。1990年代，又在同样的地址，扩建了迪士尼加州冒险乐园（Disney's California Adventure），而原本的迪士尼乐园，新设立的加州冒险乐园，与周围一系列相关设施（包括几座配合乐园而设置的观光旅馆），则共同组成迪士尼度假区（Disneyland Resort）。
