Visual Archive
Disneyland Park in Anaheim is the only park Walt Disney personally oversaw, and its compact 85-acre footprint holds more attractions per acre than any Disney property. The ride mix runs from 1950s classics like Peter Pan's Flight to Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge and Mickey & Minnie's Runaway Railway.
Guest satisfaction stays exceptionally high on theming and nostalgia; crowding and cost are the recurring complaints.
