"The Happiest Place on Earth" is an 85-acre legendary theme park located in Anaheim, California and the only Disney attraction designed by Walt Disney himself in the early 1950s. Disneyland was opened in 1955 and was based on theme parks Disney went to with his daughters in previous decades. With more than 16 million guests, it is the second most visited theme park in the United States behind the larger Disney World - Magic Kingdom in Florida and is the most visited in the world cumulatively with more than 650 million guests since it premiered.
