One of the most famous theme-parks on the planet Earth is located in the Orange County city of Anaheim, [[Disneyland]]. The park, which opened in 1955, was created by [[Walt Disney]], and took one year to build, at a total cost of 17.5 million dollars. The Los Angeles Times reported in December 2019 that Disneyland park reached capacity and stopped selling daily tickets for one day, seven months after a 14-acre expansion opened at the time. The new land expanded the size of the park from 85 acres to nearly 100 acres earlier in 2019. The May 31, 2019 opening of a $1-billion expansion to build Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge in the northwest corner of the park was the largest portion of this expansion.<ref>https://www.latimes.com/business/story/2019-12-27/disneyland-capacity-expansion</ref> In May 2020 it is reported that Disneyland is the second most visited theme park in the world (18.6 million visitors per year compared to Disney World's 58 million).
