Since 1955, the landmarks of Disneyland® have been as familiar and as “real” as the Eiffel Tower or the Empire State Building. A second theme park, Disney California Adventure® was been added adjacent to the original in 2001. Downtown Disney®, a further addition, is an entertainment, restaurant, and retail district. The two parks, three Disney hotels, and Downtown Disney® together form Disneyland® Resort.
