A "Front of the Line" pass in a theme park such as Univeral Studios, usually has an additional charge, but it gives you exclusive access to areas not usually seen by the public. You also get front of the line privliges for all of the rides.

No, Anaheim is located in Orange County. Orange County, California was formally organized as a political entity separate from the County of Los Angeles in 1889.

Orange County is comprised of 34 cities. To learn more about the cities of Orange County, go to Orange County Government Online or the Orange County Business Council business and career relocation resources.

Anaheim is located in Orange County, California, 26 miles (42 kilometers) south of Los Angeles County and is easily accessible from LAX, Orange County/John Wayne, Ontario and Long Beach Airports.

The Disneyland Resort begins decorating around Thanksgiving and the decorations stay up until the first week of January.

If you want to visit during a slower time, plan on mid-week (Tuesdays - Thursdays) during mid-September through mid-November, mid-January through mid-March or mid-April through mid-May.

Visiting during these times may reduce your wait time for the attractions. However, keep in mind they do reduce their operating hours as well. There may also be fewer entertaiment and events, and attractions are more frequently closed for refurbishment.

If your main concern is having everything available to you the best time to visit is weekends, including extended hoilday weekends during Christmas and Spring Break or June - August. However, during these times the number of Guests is usually increased.

Check our convention calendar or city-wide conventions for information on what trade shows, meetings and conventions are coming to the Anaheim Convention Center and the Orange County area.

Parking fee is $15.00 per vehicle per day with no in/out privileges. Rate is based on event type.
