An elevated berm supports a three-foot (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.Today,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.
迪士尼樂園（Disneyland,正式全名為Disneyland Park）,是一個位於美國加州安納罕市（Anaheim）的主題樂園.由華德·迪士尼一手創(chuàng)辦的迪士尼樂園是由華德·迪士尼公司（The Walt Disney Company）所創(chuàng)立與營運的一系列主題樂園與度假區(qū)中的第一個,離洛杉磯市中心大約有20分鐘的車程（高速公路）.迪士尼樂園於1955年開放,吸引了眾多小朋友和成年人.內有許多迪士尼人物,如米老鼠,及迪士尼電影場景.園內設施也經(jīng)常更換.原來在一個人工湖內,可以乘潛艇看到真人扮的美人魚,但因扮演卡通人物的員工工作條件不適應長期在水下,所以后來改成了假的美人魚.園內曾一度有座很高的假雪山,人們可以坐纜車從中間穿過,但也已經(jīng)退出了歷史舞臺.1990年代,又在同樣的地址,擴建了迪士尼加州冒險樂園（Disney's California Adventure）,而原本的迪士尼樂園,新設立的加州冒險樂園,與周圍一系列相關設施（包括幾座配合樂園而設置的觀光旅館）,則共同組成迪士尼度假區(qū)（Disneyland Resort）.
