From quietly nodding off in the sun, Anaheim sprang into action after the opening of Disneyland in 1955.
Today it pulsates with the lifeblood of tourism and offers festivals, excellent shopping, fine dining, and innumerable attractions for adults and children alike. Without a doubt a trip to Anaheim and "The happiest place on earth", as Disneyland is known, is a great crowd pleaser.

Overview
Los Angeles International is the most diverse and comprehensive airport on the West Coast. You can connect to virtually any city in the world from LAX. Trucks, trailers, and campers should use perimeter lots because of restricted clearance in parking structures and limited open parking in the central terminal area. Curbspace in front of terminals is restricted to immediate loading and unloading of passengers and baggage for a maximum of three minutes.
Unattended vehicles will be cited and may be impounded. As you near the airport by car, dial 530 on AM radio for information on parking and traffic conditions near the terminals.
QuickAid Machines - Computer terminals throughout LAX provide airport and transportation information at your fingertips. These terminals, known as QuickAid machines, are operated by touching the symbol of the category on the screen that pertains to your interest.

No parking is permitted at this location. A free, frequent LAX shuttle transports passengers to the departure level, terminal curbside.

Vehicles with disabled parking license plates or placards are able to park for free in any available metered space in the parking structures.
