Disneyland Park is a great place to go if it's a nice day in California. Disneyland is really cool because it's separated into 8 different lands: Adventureland, New Orleans Square, Frontierland, Critter Country, Fantasyland, Mickey's Toontown, Main Street USA, and Tomorrowland. Each of the lands have it's own theme and is really special in it's own way. Some lands are for younger people and some lands are for teens and adults. All of them are fun to go to no matter how old you are! |

Adventureland Adventureland is a great place to go if you're in search of a great adventure. It's pretty dark because it's covered by palm trees, tiki heads and jungle things. The theme of Adventureland is the jungle because a lot of adventures happened in that jungle. A few rides are in Adventureland like Indiana Jones, Jungle Cruise, Tarzan's Treehouse and Walt Disney's Enchanted Tiki Room. The Jungle Cruise is a water ride that is on a small little lake on a 1950s boat. You'll see elephants, fish, zebras, lions and birds, but they're all fake. In the line on the Indiana Jones ride you'll see the theme of a temple that has just been found and you are some of the first people in the temple. When you get on the ride you're actually getting on a jungle jeep. It's really big but the ride is so fun. During the ride you'll see shrunken heads, big bugs and a huge snake. |
