Los Angeles, California

Los Angeles is the epicenter of entertainment and endless summers—say hello to Hollywood, soak up the California sun on the Santa Monica Pier and browse glitzy Rodeo Drive. Plus, take a trip to the place where the magic began, the Disneyland Resort! Los Angeles is home to diverse cultures from around the world, great dining, endless shopping opportunities and a rich history of invention and reinvention. Art lovers have the Museum of Contemporary Art, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and both locations of the J. Paul Getty Museum to explore. Music fans can visit the famous Hollywood Bowl and the gleaming Walt Disney Concert Hall, home of the LA Philharmonic.

Nestled in the hills of Griffith Park, the Los Angeles Zoo & Botanical Gardens is a hidden gem. And near where you'll embark on your cruise, the Long Beach Aquarium of the Pacific provides a glimpse into life below the ocean.

With all this and more, you can see why Los Angeles is the perfect place to begin your vacation on a Disney cruise to the Mexican Riviera, Hawaii or the California Coast.
