This list gives a brief overview of Disneyland rides and attractions.

Disneyland closes various rides for periodic maintenance, and some have limited hours. To get thecurrent status of every ride, you can visit the Disneyland website. However, their schedule only goes out a month. Unless there's a planned renovation underway, there's no way to know whether your favorite ride will be running on future dates.

The rides are organized by Land, clockwise from the entrance on Main Street USA. The links will take you to a detailed profile and review of each of the most popular rides, which includes ratings, tips, ride times and trivia — along with factors for fun, wait times and the likelihood of motion sickness.

To keep the lists simple, the height restrictions are in inches only. Here's what those translate to in cm: 35 in = 89 cm, 38 in = 97 cm, 40 in = 102 cm,46 in = 117 cm, 52 in = 132 cm, 54 in = 137 cm.
