About Disneyland Park
Disneyland Park is the park that Walt Disney built himself and opened on 17 July 1955. It has nine themed lands around the pink Sleeping Beauty Castle. Here you'll find classics that exist nowhere else in this form, such as the Matterhorn Bobsleds and Mr. Toad's Wild Ride, alongside big attractions like Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance and Indiana Jones Adventure.
Discover Disneyland Park
What kind of park is it?
You enter via Main Street, U.S.A., an American small town from around 1900, leading to Sleeping Beauty Castle. At the opening, Walt Disney said: "Disneyland is your land". Many attractions from 1955 are still running, such as the Jungle Cruise, Autopia, the Mad Tea Party and the Mark Twain Riverboat.
The park is open every day of the year. In the evening, the Rivers of America becomes a stage for Fantasmic!.
