The way that I've heard it explained is that the benefits of Disney World is the

feel of an entire resort as opposed to simply the theme parks. That being said, Disneyland has come a long way in improving California Adventure, adding their own hotels and improving Downtown Disney.

Also, while people will point to Disney World having 4 Theme Parks and 2 Water Parks, something has to be said about the fact that Disneyland Park >> the Magic Kingdom.

Having done both a few times now, Disneyland is superior to Disney World.

Yep. Done both several times. I prefer DL by far.

Mr. Belding

8/23/19 12:33pm

Having done both more than half a dozen times, you are wrong.

Disneyland has more rides in 2 parks than Disney World has in 4.

To me it seems that Disneyworld is more money for longer lines

The only way to do Disney World is After Hours.

jackcrack7

8/23/19 12:53pm

How so?

Carnac

8/23/19 12:34pm

For one, the fastpass system at Disneyland is much, much better than DW.

8/23/19 12:36pm

Wrong. How is having to run around the park getting physical fast passes

Phred84044

8/23/19 12:38pm

You can be on a phone at Disneyland. It's called MaxPass.

cougarfan84

8/23/19 12:38pm

And is an added cost. No added cost at WDW.

Phred84044

8/23/19 12:40pm

MaxPass also includes your photos which is a much larger added cost at WDW.

jackcrack7

8/23/19 12:41pm

Yeah, at WDW you only have to book your fast passes 3 months in advance.

8/23/19 12:42pm

You do it on the phone now.

Mr. Belding

8/23/19 12:38pm

Disneyland has them on your phone.

jackcrack7

8/23/19 12:40pm

Makes sense for them to do that. The demand is so insane they can do pretty much

SandYFan

I haven't been to DW since they changed the fastpass system, but their new

They were thinking: "How can we make sure these hotels fill up?"

The main gate at DL packs more into it than Magic Kingdom

8/23/19 12:38pm

Getting in and out of Magic Kingdom sucks.

jackcrack7

8/23/19 12:46pm

The fact that there is sooo much more room at WDW makes the experience

Phred84044

8/23/19 12:39pm

Second, I prefer the weather in Anaheim over Orlando.

8/23/19 12:37pm

Beaches are better in Florida, to counter.

Carnac

8/23/19 12:39pm

Can’t add beaches to the DL/DW debate

Mr. Belding

8/23/19 12:40pm

Only if you hate waves. And if you like waves, you'll just get eaten by sharks.

8/23/19 12:41pm

You are correct. DL was first. DW is fake.

8/23/19 12:36pm

The only thing I really prefer about WDW is the water parks

8/23/19 12:36pm

For one, WDW's setting in Florida is way better than in SoCal

Indy Coug

8/23/19 12:37pm

Call me weird, but I don't like Orlando at all.

8/23/19 12:54pm

You don't like 100 degree temps with 100% humidity and rain everyday?

jackcrack7

8/23/19 12:57pm

As opposed to having to be in the People's Republic of California?

Carnac

8/23/19 1:02pm

Florida definitely has nice weather sometimes but it can also get cold.

jackcrack7

8/23/19 1:15pm

You got really unlucky

I'll go with you. Would only leave Paris in hitting all Disney parks in one

My sister did that.

DL is extremely boring in comparison to DW. I can't imagine why anyone would like DL more except the nostalgia of DL

macaroni

8/23/19 12:44pm

What's boring about it? DL has more rides...and in most instances, better ones.

jackcrack7

8/23/19 12:46pm

Which rides are better?

Phred84044

8/23/19 12:53pm

Radiator Springs Racers. My son loves Cars.

8/23/19 12:55pm

Pirates, Thunder Mountain, Space Mountain.

jackcrack7

8/23/19 1:01pm

Tokyo theming of Haunted Mansion is my favorite!

Phred84044

8/23/19 1:03pm

You are quite a nitpicky rider

Carnac

8/23/19 1:07pm

I honestly don't see how you can say they are the same thing.

jackcrack7

8/23/19 1:13pm

If you are getting a "thrill" from the DL Pirates ride

Carnac

8/23/19 1:20pm

For rides nobody likes: Small world is better at DL, Dumbo is better at DW

ryebrye

8/23/19 1:07pm

It has fewer rides:

Baron

8/23/19 12:54pm

You're comparing CA and DL to all of the WDW parks? Shocking it's that close.

8/23/19 12:58pm

Uh, He said DL had more rides than DW. He was wrong.

Baron

8/23/19 12:59pm

So it has 5 more rides if you compare the two parks to four parks.

8/23/19 1:07pm

Oh, but you have to pay for each one separately. LOL.

8/23/19 1:08pm

In Disneyland, there are all the weirdos with braided belts

Carnac

8/23/19 1:09pm

Yes. It has 5 more rides. That was my point. All your other points I don't

Baron

8/23/19 1:10pm

He wasn't wrong actually.

jackcrack7

8/23/19 1:10pm

What is your definition of a ride?

Carnac

8/23/19 1:13pm

A ride is something that you ride on.

jackcrack7

8/23/19 1:19pm

Maybe. I provided a link I found. If there is link that contradicts it so be it

Baron

8/23/19 1:14pm

Actually they're counting four rides at WDW that haven't even opened yet.

I'm not sure the Celestial Kingdom is going to be that crowded.
