Pros: close to everywhere you want to go in Southern California
Cons: okay, it's the suburbs.

People laugh when I tell them that I grew up in Anaheim. After all, the only thing in Anaheim is Disneyland, right? (In fact from my parents' house to the "house of the mouse" was exactly one mile.) Locals, however, can tell you that there is certainly...

Pros: Great roller coasters, good food
Cons: Not enough to do, especially for the little ones.

If you are looking for the classic "Disney Experience" then California Adventure is not the place for you. For those who are not up to speed, Disney's California Adventure, or DCA for short, is Disney's newest theme park, and the first to open in...

Pros: Disneyland, fun,
Cons: Many... see review

I was born and raised in Orange County, California... and remain there to this day. I currently reside in one of the few remaining decent areas in the city of Anaheim. Now, you're thinking Tinkerbell and Mickey Mouse, but those are not the first things...

Cons: small pool, not much of a breakfast.

Pros: Disneyland, and the many other attractions.
Cons: The city itself.

Anaheim is your typical Orange County City, located in the suffocating, overly urban, Southern California.
There is only one reason that the world knows about this typical city, located in Orange County. Disneyland.
Along with Disneyland,...

Pros: Fun , Fun , Fun, for all ages.
Cons: Not for Grinch types.needs more handicap assistance

If it wasn't for Disneyland I would never heard of Anaheim. I know that the city grew up around the money generated by the "Mouse and Company". My family and I traveled from Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada for the first time in 1982.

...

Pros: Hotels/Motels with reasonable rates. Close to all Southern CA major attractions.

Pros: Disneyland and Anaheim Stadium

I thought California Adventure was just an average theme park. Only a few good rides, (California Screamin' roller coaster, and "Soaring Over California" were the highlights.

At $43 --- plus parking, California Adventure is a grossly...

Pros: DisneyLand is a wonderful park.
Cons: No hopper passes like DisneyWorld--2 separate day passes.

Pros: NONE!
Cons: Filthy rooms, paper-thin walls, terrible customer service!!!

Warning!! If you are traveling to Anaheim to hit Disneyland or just vacation, stay away from the Desert Palm Suites (631 W. Katella). We thought we had found a nice 3 star (AAA) hotel to stay at for our mini-vacation to Disneyland. WHAT A NIGHTMARE!!! At...

Pros: A HUGE selection of activities!
Cons: Too crowded

Although Disneyland is crowded, the fun is worth the fighting of crowds!

I LOVE Disneyland and think that EVERYONE should go at least once in their life. It's a fantasy world in every sense of the word!

There are drawbacks however,...
