#22: Anaheim, California
Anaheim is a dream destination for many families because of Disneyland, Disney California Adventure, themed hotels, character dining, and the feeling of stepping into a classic childhood vacation. For Disney fans, it can seem like a smaller, easier version of the Orlando theme park experience.

That magic often comes with high prices, long lines, packed walkways, and a trip that revolves almost entirely around the parks. Hotels, tickets, food, and extras can add up quickly. Travelers who want Southern California fun with more variety might prefer San Diego or Santa Barbara.
