  1. Visit the website for more info but for little kids the Park is probably better - and for bigger kids and the adults the two best rides (Tower of Terror and Rock'n'Roller Coaster) are in the Studios.


  2. none!!!

  3. because of the age of your child, i think if you go to park asterix, you can have more fun you and them. disneyland paris is great for child 8-12years old.

  4. they are side by side and also on the same site admission gets you into both so you have no need to choose do one one day and too many attractions to lay out on here

  5. Totally agree Parc Asterix is brilliant, far better then Disney.

  6. Save your money and go to Parc Asterix instead, its fab!

  7. Disneyland park in Anaheim, it is the original and original is best always!!! Here are the rides in Disneyland:

    Main Street, U.S.A.

    Disneyland Railroad (opened 1955)  

    A train ride that circles Disneyland.

    Tomorrowland

    Astro Orbitor (opened 1998)  

    Similar to the Rocket Jets of previous years, this is a ride in which the guests board a small personal "spaceship", which then flies around in a circle in the air, going up and down around a sort of high-tech maypole.

    Autopia (opened 1955)  

    Guests drive small cars around a guided track, retaining relative freedom but not the ability to drive off the course (this was a lesson the Disneyland officials learned the hard way). The current version is a consolidation of the two former Autopias (one was in Fantasyland and one in Tomorrowland). This attraction has been updated several times since 1955, most recently on June 29, 2000.

    Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters (opened 2005)  

    Guests ride in spaceship-like cars armed with infrared laser guns. Guests must shoot at targets and accumulate points to attain high scores.

    Disneyland Monorail (opened 1959)  

    This monorail train currently travels over Tomorrowland, Fantasyland, and much of Disney's California Adventure and the Downtown Disney District, with stops at Tomorrowland and at Downtown Disney, near the Disneyland Hotel. The Disneyland version has had four different series of monorails since 1959 (Marks I, II, III and V). It is expected to be overhauled again and upgraded to Mark VII sometime in 2007.

    Disneyland Railroad (opened 1955)  

    The Disneyland Railroad has a station in Tomorrowland.

    Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage (opened 2007)  

    A retheming of the classic Submarine Voyage attraction, using underwater projections and Audio-Animatronics, based on the 2003 Pixar film Finding Nemo.

    "Honey, I Shrunk the Audience" (opened 1998)  

    A 3-D movie that serves as a sequel to Honey, I Shrunk the Kids, starring Rick Moranis, Marcia Strassman, Eric Idle, and Robert Oliveri. The basic storyline is that Moranis, as inventor Wayne Szalinski, is demonstrating his shrinking machine at an inventors' awards show and accidentally shrinks the audience. The audience members are given such impressions as dog's sneezing, the auditorium moving, and mice crawling up their legs. The attraction is based on a similar one at Walt Disney World. The movie plays in the Magic Eye Theater, which opened in 1986 and was completely retrofitted for the new film.

    Innoventions (opened 1998)  

    A large round building housing various games and demonstrations of new technologies, much like Epcot. It uses the same building that formerly housed the Carousel of Progress and America Sings, the outer ring of the building still spins when the attraction is open.

    Space Mountain (opened 1977, closed 2003, reopened 2005)  

    An indoor roller coaster in the dark. The original white exterior was painted green/gold in 1997, only to be restored to its original white in late 2003. The ride was very popular, but was closed without warning on April 10, 2003 due to safety issues with the track itself. During the closure, the entire track was removed and rebuilt (but with the same layout), and all of the special effects were updated. The ride reopened on July 15, 2005 as part of Disneyland's fiftieth anniversary celebration.

    Starcade (opened 1977)  

    A large arcade featuring the latest games, air hockey, and often new motion-simulation games. Formerly occupying two levels, currently only the lower level is open.

Passengers are taken on a sightseeing trip aboard a space cruiser bound for the forest moon of Endor, but the robotic pilot (voiced by Paul Reubens) malfunctions and navigates the ship into all sorts of trouble including flying past the destination, through a field of icy comets, and near battles at the Death Star, before returning to the Star Tours station, where the passengers disembark. The ride queue is particularly entertaining, as it features various audio-animatronics of Star Wars characters and scripted events every few minutes. Adventure Thru Inner Space was originally located inside the building that Star Tours now occupies. The C-3PO in the queue is the actual model used in the original Star Wars movies.
