Disney Favourites Finder

Where to find your favourite Disney stars.

From the peaks of Frontierland to the pirates of Adventureland, Disneyland is a legend of its own and has its own mythology separate from the Disney studio productions — but make no mistake, one of its biggest draws remains the chance to see those favourite characters and locations brought to life. Disney parks are the only ones where you'll see the real Captain Jack Sparrow, swim with Nemo and friends, have a royal encounter with all the greatest fairytale Princesses and see movie icons in three true dimensions.

Be it a whole attraction or a small hidden detail, almost every Disney and Pixar classic gets a nod across Disneyland. This guide helps you discover exactly where to find your favourite...
