Anaheim
The City of Anaheim is, of course, home to Disneyland, the original theme park created by Walt Disney. You could say that here is where the Disney magic first came to life. If you have small children, you won't want to leave Orange County without taking them to Disneyland. While Disneyland takes the show, there are plenty of other attractions and activities in Anaheim. Cheer on the MBL Angels or NHL Anaheim Ducks at a game. Give the kids an experience they'll never forget at the Flightdeck Air Combat Center. Zoom past each other on an indoor kart track at K1-Speed.
