Disneyland Resort California
Disneyland Resort California is an entertainment resort in Anaheim, California, USA. It is owned and operated by The Walt Disney Company through its experiences division, featuring two theme parks (Disneyland and Disney California Adventure), three hotels, and the Disney Downtown shopping, dining, and entertainment district. Disneyland Park features Sleeping Beauty Castle as its landmark, with scenes from the fairy tale displayed inside. The Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge area recreates the streets of Batuu from the movies, where visitors can board the Millennium Falcon. Classic attractions like Pirates of the Caribbean, Space Mountain, and Haunted Mansion in New Orleans Square have been operating for decades, with daytime parades often winding through the park. At Disney California Adventure Park, Cars Land is modeled after the desert town from the movie, with Radiator Springs Racers remaining a perennial favorite. The Avengers Campus offers thrilling experiences like Guardians of the Galaxy - Mission: Breakout! and an interactive shooting adventure with Spider-Man. Over at Pixar Pier, the Incredicoaster races along the bay. At night, Disneyland lights up the sky with castle fireworks, while Disney California Adventure dazzles with a grand water and light show on the lake. Given the resort's size and long queues for popular attractions, two full days are recommended to fully explore both parks—hit the top rides early, then explore at leisure. Keep an eye out for hidden Mickey easter eggs scattered throughout the parks, as spotting them adds to the fun. After the parks close, head to Downtown Disney for dining and shopping to cap off your day. Disneyland was the company's first theme park, and also a theme park built by Walt Disney, which opened on July 17, 1955. Disney California Adventure Park is a theme park based on Disney's interpretation of California, which opened on February 8, 2001.Anaheim · 21.4 km from Newport Beach

It felt a little different from Disney Resort in Japan! It was exciting to ride Cars, a ride that doesn't exist in Japan!

Ticketing is convenient and quick.
The world's first Disney park is a bit old, and the castle looks somewhat shabby, but it's the first one! The fun atmosphere remains undiminished, and the food prices inside the park are reasonable, similar to those outside, and the taste is also good.
Visiting both parks in one day is perfectly feasible.

After going to Baboa Island, you can stop by here. There is a very good seafood restaurant by the beach. Here you can enjoy the sunset while having dinner. This is the Bulewater Grill, which is easy to find in Newport Beach.

The water at Laguna Beach was exceptionally clear; you could see the rocks at the bottom. There weren't many people on the beach; an old man strolled leisurely with a metal detector. As the tide receded, small puddles were revealed, and children squatted down watching the sea anemones retract and expand. A cool sea breeze blew, the waves crashed, and the sun made everyone sleepy. Climbing up the hillside, the sea below was a truly beautiful blue, much more so than in the photos.

Due to the current epidemic, self-picking is closed and there is only the farmers' market. The things there are relatively fresh, the prices are slightly higher, and the cost-effectiveness is average.

There aren't many people in Huntington Beach, much less than in Venice Beach. I don't know if it's because we arrived a little late, but the beach here feels quite cold and windy.
