About This Quiz

The House of Mouse started with one man and a dream, and now Disney dominates the global theme park market. Many people consider the Disney parks the happiest place on earth.

The first park, Disneyland, was opened in Anaheim, CA in 1955. With fewer than 20 attractions, it was essentially one third smaller than Disneyland is today. The Walt Disney World resort in Orlando, Florida didn't open until 1971, but now is the largest resort in the world! Do you know how many theme parks it contains?  Disney also has resorts in a number of other countries--can you name them?

Each Disney park has its own history and lore--from rides come and gone, to ghost stories and tales of exclusive clubs. While many of the most famous rides appear at multiple parks (like The Haunted Mansion) not all of them do. Do you know which park is the exclusive home of The Matterhorn?

If you consider yourself a die-hard Disney parks fan, someone who has traveled the world to see as many parks as possible, take this quiz to see if you truly deserve a place in the House of Mouse!
