California have launched a new campaign, called “Welcome to Kidifornia — it’s a great place to take your parents!”, which includes Disneyland in the promotion.

Here are all the details:

Speaking to the Golden State’s youngest tourists, Visit California’s newest family-focused TV commercial proves that with so many options for family fun, California is made for kids.

Debuting in the United States and Canada today, the spot, “Welcome to Kidifornia,” invites kids to rule on their next family vacation. Here, the children are in charge.

“This campaign joyfully encourages our youngest dreamers to bring their parents along for a trip to Kidifornia,” said Caroline Beteta, Visit California president and CEO. “From catching the winter wave at our mountain resorts to creating magic at one of our theme parks or unplugging in nature, there are endless opportunities for kids to dream big in California.”

With a growing number of bucket list-worthy theme parks, museums, national and state parks, beaches and more, California is the perfect destination for fun. From action-packed thrills at the Disneyland Resort, SeaWorld San Diego, LEGOLAND California and Universal Studios Hollywood to journeys of exploration at the Monterey Bay Aquarium and The Exploratorium, California is a dream getaway for kids of all ages.

The commercial takes viewers on an adventure to some of California’s most kid-friendly attractions and destinations, showing the kids as the ones in charge of the vacation, while their parents entertainingly come along for the fun.
