1. Other
4 and half of 5.

I probably knew about the Angels before I knew about Disneyland. They've been around since '61 and I didn't go to Disneyland until '64.

But then, I knew who Mickey and Donald et al were before I knew about George Brunet and Bo Belinsky.

Oh — and Jim Fregosi and I have the same birthday. :7

3. Disneyland!!
LOVE Disneyland! I don't live in CA, but I have been to Disneyland several times, and just love it- I'm sorry to say, I know nothing else about Anaheim. Other than one of my uncles lived there when I was a little girl.

4. The Anaheim Stadium was originally a beautiful place, before they
enclosed it completely and moved the big A out to the parking lot. It used to be the scoreboard, just outside the outfiled fence. The "Big A" was a beautiful place for baseball. Now it's just like every other stadium.

5. Other...

or actually, a combination of a few of your choices.

As a kid, I knew it as "that place where Disneyland is". Then, there was that lame-ass Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim business. Now, I live here and realize it's actually a city...aside from the mouse ears and stupidly named baseball team.

I haven't spent any time there though. Drove through it a few times on my way to San Diego, but haven't seen it beyond the view from the 5.
