Bar down and sign up for another barnburner to take your seats and watch the Anaheim Ducks, the local professional ice hockey team and members of the Pacific Division of the Western Conference of the National Hockey League (NHL). Since their famous and cinematic inception, the Ducks have played all their home games at the Honda Center near Angel Stadium. Long time fans and Disney aficionados will certainly remember that this team was originally named the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim based on the 1992 film, The Mighty Ducks, starring a young Emilio Estevez.

The entrance to this family-friendly section of the Park is located at Gypsum Canyon Road and reservations are a must. Orange County provides an app to navigate through all the local parks.
