When to Go
The general rule is to zag when everyone else is zigging. If possible, try to plan your Disneyland California trip away from holidays, school vacations, the early summer, and weekends. For more info, go to

Disneyland History
Official Site
Disneyland Resort Disneyland Overview
First there was Disneyland, Walt Disney's labor of love. Originally ridiculed as an expensive failure, Disney's incredible achievement eventually captured the hearts and minds of millions of guests and forever changed the very definition of entertainment, let alone the amusement industry.
After Disney died, the company opened Walt Disney World in Florida. With tens of thousands of acres, the east coast vacation resort added parks, hotels, golf courses and other diversions at a furious pace and quickly eclipsed, in sheer magnitude, the California park that inspired it. After a few false starts, Disneyland embarked on its own building spree in 2000 and is now a destination resort in its own right, albeit crammed into a much tighter footprint than its right-coast counterpart.
The original Disneyland Park shines at the center of the property. Smaller scale and more intimate than Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom (although actually boasting more attractions), there is a certain magic in the air. Maybe it has to do with Walt Disney's hands-on role in shaping the park and actually walking its grounds.
Disney's California Adventure, the second park, is a work in progress. Comparatively small and offering fewer attractions, the park barely provides a day's worth of activities. But Disney has exciting, ambitious plans and is retooling the park. Still, Disney's California Adventure has some wonderful attractions in its current form.
