Disneyland Parks

There are two Disneyland Parks in the USA. They are theme parks located in California and in Florida. They are  owned and operated by the Walt Disney Parks and Resorts division of the Walt Disney Company.

The concept of amusement park, as currently understood, was born in the United States with Disneyland Los Angeles in 1951.

The Orlando Walt Disney World Resorts in Florida is a complex of four big theme parks:

Magic Kindgom Park,

Epcot Center,

 Disney's Hollywood Studios

 and Disney's Animal Kingdom.

There are also two water parks, six golf courses, more than twenty hotels and various shopping arears and entertainment. It was opened in 1971. It is the largest complex of theme parks in the world. Orlando is in Florida.

There are many other amusement parks in the USA, but the first Disneyland Park near Los Angeles is the only theme park designed and built under the direct supervision of Walt Disney himself.
