Things began humming for Orange County in 1955, when Walt Disney, Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, and Donald Duck created the Magic Kingdom among the orange groves. Disneyland has made Orange County the happiest place on earth. In Anaheim, Disneyland Park features 60 adventure rides and live entertainment in eight lands of enchantment: Adventureland, Frontierland, Fantasyland, Tomorrowland, New Orleans Square, Critter Country, Main Street USA, and Mickey's ToonTown. During holiday seasons (starting in mid November until early January), Disneyland Park is decorated with beautiful holidays decorations. One of the more popular features is the nightly fireworks show, which has a finale where it magically "snows" (Actually glycerin bubbles, so no mess to clean up). Also, Disneyland has a special Christmas themed parade starting Thanksgiving week thru the end of the year. But be aware, the last half of December is very busy, in 2005 Disneyland reached capacity and stopped selling tickets multiple days. The best way to get tickets is to get them in advance, Disney gives a large discount for folks who purchase tickets for 3 days or longer. Other nearby attractions are in Buena Park, and include Knott’s Berry Farm, Knott’s Soak City water park, and two dinner shows, Medieval Times and the Pirates Dinner Adventure.
