Five of Disneyland Resort's ten nearest neighbors by audience shape are professional sports teams — a cross-kind pattern that defines the top of the list. Similarity here measures how closely two entities' audiences resemble each other in composition; the Los Angeles Angels sit at 0.94, the highest score in the set, followed by the Los Angeles Dodgers at 0.89, the Los Angeles Chargers at 0.84, the San Francisco 49ers at 0.80, and the SFGiants at 0.78. None of these are thematic relatives of a theme park; they are simply drawing audiences whose shape closely mirrors Disneyland's own.
The remaining five neighbors fill out a broad, eclectic mix. San Diego Comic-Con (0.88) is the only Events and Awards entry and the third-highest score overall, sitting between the two baseball teams. Below the sports cluster, the list shifts to food and fuel: Denny's at 0.80, The Burger Den at 0.80, and ARCO at 0.77. Universal Studios Hollywood at 0.78 is the only other Destinations entry in the top 10 — the one neighbor that shares Disneyland Resort's own subcategory. The spread across sports teams, a fan convention, casual dining, QSR, and a gas station chain is consistent with the broad shape flag: no single category dominates, and the scores descend gradually rather than dropping sharply after a lead cluster.
This audience shape reflects a wide-reach, Southern California–anchored profile that overlaps with regional sports fandom and everyday consumer brands as readily as it does with entertainment destinations.
