Almost no one bypasses the Happiest Place on Earth. There's so much to see and do, you won't know where to start. 

Adventures at Disneyland® now include the Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage, a fabulous overhaul of the park's classic submarine ride. The Pirates of the Caribbean ride has also gotten a fun new twist. Now, as you ride on the boats through the watery adventure, you see a dreadlocked Captain Jack Sparrow (keep your hand on your wallet and your wife) popping up unexpectedly throughout the ride. Visit planets and escape the Empire in a galaxy far, far away on Star Tours. Dance along with all your favorite Disney characters in the Soundsational Parade. And top it all off with Fantasmic or the incredible fireworks displays that change throughout the year.  It's all meant to make your day a little more magical.

Magic Numbers: Disneyland has welcomed more than 500 million guests since opening on July 17, 1955.

The annual "Summer Giant Blue Whale Migration" brings hundreds of blue whales each summer/fall to the waters off Newport Beach, where over 1000 whales were viewed last summer! Giant blue whales were once considered quite rare off southern California, but over the last five years this has changed dramatically. These giants of the sea reach lengths of 100 feet and are the largest of all animals. Along with viewing these giants, the second largest whale in the world, the finback whale has also taken to the waters of southern California during the same months as the blue whales. Giant pods of common and bottlenose dolphin are also very common with pods numbering a thousand or more dolphins!
