Anaheim is located just south of the Los Angeles Metro area and is home to Disneyland_® Resort, one of the most visited attraction centers on the planet. Tourism is Anaheim's largest and most important industry by far. Known for its fantastic theme parks, terrific sports teams and busy convention center, Anaheim is a fabulous, pleasure-packed destination.

In the early 1950’s, world-famous animation studio head, Walt Disney planned to build a family theme park in Burbank, near his legendary studio, but city officials denied him permission. Undaunted, Disney picked Anaheim as his alternate site, because the area reminded him of his boyhood home in Marceline, Missouri. The rest is history.
