Sights you mustn’t miss and Fun Things to do
Face the facts that if you're visiting Anaheim, you're probably here to visit the attractions which are not only sights to see and experience but also a whole bunch of fun. Everyone, well almost everyone on this earth has heard of Disneyland, and dreams of visiting Mickey and Minney, Goofy and the gang and little girl's dream of becoming Cinderella and living in a castle. So it’s no wonder that anyone visiting Anaheim would plan to visit the Magic Kingdom. Fun for both young and old, it’s just a “need to visit”.A close second would be a visit to Universal Studios Hollywood. It is close enough to visit and can take up an entire day or more. With live shows, special effects, rides, carnival and live characters walking about, it’s so much fun. And on site there are many excellent food choices.
Take a tour in L.A. by foot, bike, Segway, limo or double decker bus if weather is suited. There are tours of movie star homes, food tours, crime tours, and even ghost tours.

There are some options within Anaheim, not in attractions where you can eat with the kiddies and not totally deplete your card.One suggestion is the Cheesecake Factory, serving American cuisine, lots of choices, including great sandwiches, and fair prices. For Mom & Dad, yes there are cocktails for desert, after that long day of lines in Disneyland.
Islands Restaurant is another great place to take the family, with a Caribbean theme, salads, sandwiches and seafood. Moderate prices make it a savings.
For a few dollars more, well, quite a few, you and your spouse can enjoy a fine dining experience in a restaurant like Roy’s on Katella Avenue, serving Hawaiian Fusion Cuisine, or perhaps it’s French your itching for, then The Cellar on Fullerton Blvd. could please your palate and as a bonus, provide romance to your evening. With it’s European Cuisine and designed by the artistic craftsman from Disneyland’s Pirates of the Caribbean, you will expect Captain Jack Sparrow to walk by your table at any time.
