Disneyland: Storybook Land Canal

One of the most scenic spots in Disneyland is the Storybook Land Canal, where Disney Imagineers and gardeners have created detailed settings for several Disney classics in miniature.

On our trip a few days ago my younger daughter took some beautiful photos of this area from our vantage point on the Casey Jr. Circus Train. Click any of the photos to enlarge.


The Canal Boats and Circus Train are both original to the park; the train in particular has always been one of my favorite Disneyland rides.

More about the ride and its history can be found here and here.

Disneyland Paris is the only Disney theme park, other than Disneyland, to have a Storybook Land Canal; it's called Le Pays des Contes de Fees. You can see a few photos of the Paris version here.
