Travel Guide Book

This updated edition of Birnbaum’s Disneyland Resort, the most respected and well-known name in Disney guides, takes readers through Walt Disney’s first theme park with ease and flair. Since our guide is the only guide that’s official, this book includes the most accurate and current information on prices and attractions.

Here are some of the highlights for the 2012 guide: If you haven't been to Disney California Adventure lately, you are in for a big surprise. It's been "reimagined" and has dozens of new opportunities for fun. Among them: The Little Mermaid—Ariel's Undersea Adventure (an attraction featuring the Little Mermaid) and World of Color (a dazzling nighttime water show). And that's not all! We'll offer details on future attractions, including those in Cars Land—a new area of the park featuring friends from Radiator Springs. Also, there's exciting news for Star Wars fans: Star Tours II is touching down in Disneyland Park's Tomorrowland. Birnbaum has the scoop on this high-flying 3-D thriller.

And for those who can't decide between a Disney Cruise and a Disneyland vacation, Disney Cruise Line now has a ship permanently based on the west coast! We'll explain how to pair a trip to Disneyland with a voyage aboard the Disney Wonder. Also included is information on the recent renovation of Disneyland's original resort--the Disneyland Hotel. Birnbaum has the lowdown on hotel enhancements such as redesigned rooms, a new pool theme, and a new restaurant!

Our guide is also the only one allowed to feature Disney characters. And Birnbaum’s DisneylandResort is the most comprehensive guidebook, offering complete information on the Magic Kingdom, Disney’s California Adventure, and Downtown Disney, as well as details about Anaheim area attractions, things to do in Los Angeles, and special driving routes around Southern California. This is the only guide to Disneyland that readers need, entirely updated every year.
