Does Disneyland have 3 parks?

Disneyland Resort is made up of two theme parks, Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure.



No, the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, California, consists of two world-class theme parks: Disneyland Park (the original 1955 park) and Disney California Adventure Park. In 2026, while there is only two "gates," many guests confuse this with the Walt Disney World Resort in Florida, which has four theme parks. However, there is an ongoing expansion initiative known as Disneyland Forward, which aims to significantly grow the existing resort footprint over the next decade. While some fans count the Downtown Disney District as a "third" area, it is technically an admission-free shopping and dining district rather than a theme park. If you are looking for a Disney resort with three or more distinct parks, you would need to visit Orlando or Tokyo (which has Tokyo Disneyland and Tokyo DisneySea, with a third park often rumored but not currently operational).
