What is Disneyland? / Facts

Disneyland Park - originally Disneyland, is the first of two theme parks built at the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, California, opened on July 17, 1955.
It is the only theme park designed and built to completion under the direct supervision of Walt Disney.
It was the first Disney theme park.
Walt Disney came up with the concept of Disneyland after visiting various amusement parks with his daughters in the 1930s and 1940s.
Since its opening, Disneyland has undergone expansions and major renovations.
Disneyland has a larger cumulative attendance than any other theme park in the world, with 726 million visits since it opened (as of December 2018).
In 2018, the park had approximately 18.6 million visits, making it the second most visited amusement park in the world that year, behind only Magic Kingdom, the very park it inspired.
According to a March 2005 Disney report, 65,700 jobs are supported by the Disneyland Resort, including about 20,000 direct Disney employees and 3,800 third-party employees.
Disney announced "Project Stardust" in 2019, which included major structural renovations to the park to account for higher attendance numbers.
Disneyland Paris - formerly Euro Disney Resort, is an entertainment resort in Chessy, France, a new town located 32 km (20 mi) east of the centre of Paris.
It encompasses two theme parks, many resort hotels, Disney Nature Resorts, a shopping, dining, and entertainment complex, and a golf course, in addition to several additional recreational and entertainment venues.
Disneyland Park is the original theme park of the complex, opening with the resort on 12 April 1992.
A second theme park, Walt Disney Studios Park, opened in 2002, 10 years after the original park.
Disneyland Paris celebrated its 25th anniversary in 2017.
Within 25 years of opening, 320 million people visited Disneyland Paris, making it the most visited theme park in Europe.
The Parisian resort is the second Disney park to open outside the United States following the opening of the Tokyo Disney Resort in 1983 and is the largest Disney resort to open outside of the United States.
Disneyland Paris is also the only Disney resort outside of the United States to be completely owned by The Walt Disney Company.
Tokyo Disneyland - is a 115-acre (47 ha) theme park at the Tokyo Disney Resort in Urayasu, Chiba Prefecture, near Tokyo, Japan.
It was the first Disney park to be built outside the United States, and it opened on 15 April 1983.
It is owned by The Oriental Land Company, which licenses the theme from The Walt Disney Company.
Tokyo Disneyland and its companion park, Tokyo DisneySea, are the only Disney parks not wholly or partly owned by the Walt Disney Company (however, Disney has creative control).
The park has seven themed areas.
Many of these areas mirror those in the original Disneyland as they are based on American Disney films and fantasies.
In 2018, Tokyo Disneyland hosted 17.9 million visitors, making it the world's third-most visited theme park behind the Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World Resort and Disneyland Park at the Disneyland Resort.
