Lands: The magic of Disneyland Park comes to life in nine themed lands.
- Main Street, U.S.A.: Here, contemporary life gives way to the quaint and reassuring charms of turn-of-the-century America. It is the essence of hometown life that greeted the dawn of the 20th century.
- Tomorrowland: This intriguing realm of imagination, discovery and wonder features a landscape of whirling spaceships (Astro Orbiter), zooming rocket vehicles (Star Tours: The Adventures Continue, Space Mountain) and racing roadsters (Autopia).
- Adventureland: A collage of far-off places, aspiring explorers can discover a home nestled in the branches of a giant tree (Adventureland Treehouse inspired by Walt Disney’s Swiss Family Robinson), the tropical magic of Polynesia (Walt Disney’s Enchanted Tiki Room), the exotic rivers of the world (Jungle Cruise) and the steamy jungles of India (Indiana Jones Adventure).
- Frontierland: A robust panorama of America’s pioneer past, from the bustling riverfronts of the Mississippi and Missouri Rivers of the late 1700s (Columbia Sailing Ship, Mark Twain Riverboat, Pirate’s Lair on Tom Sawyer Island) to the dusty southwest deserts of the 1880s (Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, The Golden Horseshoe).
- Fantasyland: Enchanted tales of childhood adapted from classic Disney animated films come to life in a magical Old World setting. Guests can fly to Never Land (Peter Pan’s Flight), meet Disney princesses, see an elephant fly (Dumbo the Flying Elephant) or attend a mad tea party (Alice in Wonderland).
- New Orleans Square: The Paris of the American frontier, this land evokes the Crescent City as it was more than 150 years ago. Within its winding streets and quaint shops, elegance and charm mingle comfortably with jazz, restless spirits (Haunted Mansion) and marauding buccaneers (Pirates of the Caribbean). In this land, guests can experience Princess Tiana’s story at Tiana’s Palace quick-service restaurant and the shop, Eudora’s Chic Boutique Featuring Tiana’s Gourmet Secrets.
- Bayou Country: Newly renamed in 2024, Bayou Country (formerly Critter Country) is a critter-filled land situated on the edge of New Orleans Square. It is home to Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, a thrilling water ride and musical journey inspired by Walt Disney Animation Studios’ “The Princess and the Frog.” This marshland also features Davy Crockett’s Explorer Canoes, Winnie the Pooh and his many friends in the Hundred Acre Wood (The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh).
- Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge: Set in a galaxy far, far away on a planet called Batuu, this land is a unique location in the Star Wars story. Guests live their own Star Wars adventure as they sample galactic food and beverages, enter an intriguing collection of merchant shops and take the controls of the most famous ship in the galaxy aboard Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run. In addition, they may experience an epic battle against the First Order on Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance.
- Mickey’s Toontown: From adventures with some favorite characters (Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway, Chip ‘n’ Dale’s GADGETcoaster, Roger Rabbit’s Car Toon Spin) to open greenery perfect for a picnic, families can play together at Mickey’s Toontown. Reimagined in 2023, this land includes space to unwind, interactive play areas, character sightings and delightful dining for guests of all ages.
Entertainment: Special effects transform the Rivers of America into a stage for the nighttime spectacular “Fantasmic!”, which tells the story of an epic battle starring Mickey Mouse. For a limited time as part of the Disneyland Resort 70th Celebration, the fan-favorite “Wondrous Journeys” nighttime spectacular and “Paint the Night” parade will return to Disneyland Park. Additional highlights include Storytelling at Royal Theatre, The Dapper Dans and live atmosphere entertainment around the park.
