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.United States · Anaheim

离开皮斯莫海滩，去往洛杉矶，第一站经过丹麦村，旦面全部都是丹麦建筑，也有好多丹麦人，村子挺大的，停车场很多，路边也可以临时停车，停车特别方便，有几家面包甜品很好吃，google可以查到。路边公共卫生间也很多，自驾过去很方便，适合拍照，很出片。极力推荐，每个建筑都有特色，门前种的花花草草都很漂亮。

Solvang is a small town in Santa Barbara County, California, USA. It was founded by a group of Danish immigrants in 1911. Since it attracted the attention of the American media in 1947, it has developed into a theme town. There are many Danish bakeries, restaurants and shops in the town, and the exterior walls of many buildings reflect the traditional Danish style. There is also an Andersen Museum, which collects items related to the famous Danish fairy tale writer Andersen. This small private museum is located above a bookstore.

The overall experience at Universal Studios Hollywood was absolutely fantastic! You could say there were practically no lines. Even the big rides only took about ten minutes (this is essential; otherwise, you'd get overwhelmed and dizzy from all the rush).
They're also having the world premiere of Fast & Furious.
However, being an older theme park, many details do look a bit dated (especially the Harry Potter area).
Universal Studios is truly amazing! It's unique and allows you to experience the film sets up close.

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.
