Everything you need to know about Anaheim

Anaheim is the heart of Orange County and home to the Disneyland Resort — two theme parks, the Downtown Disney district, and a walkable Resort District packed with hotels. Beyond the parks, the city has grown a real identity of its own: the Anaheim Packing District food hall, Angels baseball at Angel Stadium, Ducks hockey at the Honda Center, and a revived Center Street Promenade downtown. It's also the ideal base for Orange County's beaches and a day trip into Los Angeles.

Essential info for Canadian travellers

  • Passport & entry: Canadian citizens travelling to the US by air need only a valid passport — no visa or ESTA is required.

  • Currency: The US Dollar (USD) is used everywhere. Cards are widely accepted; keep small bills for tips, shuttles, and rideshares.

  • Power & plugs: The US uses 120V/60Hz with Type A/B plugs — the same as Canada, so your devices work without an adapter.

  • Time zone: Anaheim runs on Pacific Time (PT) — three hours behind Toronto year-round.

  • Getting around: The free Anaheim Resort Transportation (ART) shuttle links most hotels to the parks; rideshare and rental cars help for beaches and LA.
