There’s so much for student groups to do in Anaheim, we’re here to guide you to just a few of our favorite attractions offering both fun and education in the area, so you can make the absolute most of your trip.

100 Years of Disney
Disneyland is celebrating its 100th anniversary with a slate of exciting debuts and returns. The Magic Happens parade is returning, a new Wondrous Journeys nighttime show highlights a century of animation, and the World of Color show makes stunning use of color, lights and music.

Plus, it’s the perfect time to enjoy the new Mickey’s Toontown, a colorful cartoon section of the park filled with animated experiences and interactive ways for families to play. In other words, it’s perfect for the younger students! This also features the new trackless ride, Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway (which debuted in Disney World in 2020).
