Anaheim, California, USADisneyland Resort
Start with Walt's original Disneyland, then make room for Cars Land at Disney California Adventure. This is a strong choice when classic Disney, specific favorite rides, and a California trip belong in the same holiday.
The parksDisneyland Park · Disney California Adventure Park
My takeI love Disneyland's old Disney feel for nostalgic fans, and California Adventure is awesome. I'd consider California with extra savings or if you live nearby; the actual trip cost depends on where you're coming from.
Plan for thisTwo parks still mean choices. A short visit cannot fit every attraction, and Los Angeles sightseeing needs its own travel time.

Four theme parks give you the widest park-by-park itinerary in this quiz: classic Disney, EPCOT's world showcase, Star Wars, and Animal Kingdom. It suits a trip with room for several Disney days and some planning between them.
The parksMagic Kingdom Park · EPCOT · Disney's Hollywood Studios · Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park
My takeFor animals, I'd start with Animal Kingdom. For travel and food, EPCOT. Magic Kingdom is my family pick, and I like Hollywood Studios for teens, a date, or Star Wars fans.
Plan for thisThe scale needs time and transport planning. Pick priorities and leave space for breaks rather than treating four parks as a short checklist.
Official resort planning ↗Urayasu, near Tokyo, JapanTokyo Disney Resort
DisneySea: Hannah’s all-time favoriteTokyo pairs a classic Disneyland park with DisneySea's elaborate themed ports, including Fantasy Springs. Put it high on your list if the worlds between the rides, themed food, and the surrounding Japan trip are part of the appeal.
The parksTokyo Disneyland · Tokyo DisneySea
My takeI loved the adventure theme, the little places to explore, the popcorn flavors, and the cute souvenirs. It felt welcoming to enjoy a Disney day with friends without kids.
Plan for thisDisneySea and Tokyo Disneyland are separate parks. Give each the time you want, and check current ticket and attraction access rules before setting your plan.
Official resort planning ↗Marne-la-Vallée, near Paris, FranceDisneyland Paris
Pair Disneyland Park's Sleeping Beauty Castle with Disney Adventure World's World of Frozen, Pixar, and Marvel areas. This is the European option when Disney and a wider France trip both belong in the plan.
The parksDisneyland Park · Disney Adventure World
My takeParis was my least favorite Disney destination, and I found the transportation frustrating. I still liked it for adventure, and it felt small to me. Its current lineup includes the expanded Disney Adventure World.
Plan for thisThe resort is outside central Paris, so allow travel time. Two theme parks and city sightseeing are separate parts of the itinerary.
Official resort planning ↗Lantau Island, Hong KongHong Kong Disneyland Resort
A single theme park with World of Frozen and distinctive attractions makes an appealing Disney chapter in a Hong Kong trip. Start here if a focused park visit and plenty of time for the city sound like your balance.
The parksHong Kong Disneyland Park
My takeI liked Hong Kong's hotels and beautiful surrounding landscape.
Plan for thisOne park means less park-to-park variety. Check the operating calendar and attraction closures for your dates before building the visit around a favorite.
Official resort planning ↗Pudong, Shanghai, ChinaShanghai Disney Resort
Shanghai is a strong contender for distinctive rides and immersive lands: Zootopia, TRON Lightcycle Power Run, and Pirates of the Caribbean: Battle for the Sunken Treasure. Pair a focused Disney visit with a broader Shanghai trip.
The parksShanghai Disneyland
My takeShanghai felt so modern, clean, and futuristic to me.
Plan for thisOne theme park can still take plenty of time. Check attraction access, ticket requirements, and the travel arrangements for your passport and dates.
