For those of you who have been to both of these theme parks, which one would you say is better and why? Do they have any of the same attractions and what are the major differences? I've been to Disney World in Florida a couple times and thought it was awesome but never to Disneyland. Some people I work with have never been to either park and want to take a trip next year but wanted to know which one was better.

Disneyland is disney worlds magic kingdom, just a little nicer, with all the same rides, a few different. Next door to Disneyland is Disneys California Adventure, which is a crappy California themed park. That's what makes up The Disneyland Resort, with downtown disney and hotels. Disney World is bigger, since it obviously has more parks. Disneyland is in the middle of a major area, its not secluded like disney world. some people like that though, because it gives you more things to do that aren't disney related.

For Disney fans.... Disneyland. It's the real place. It's where it all started. There's something about it that just can be duplicated.

If you want more rides and more attractions.... Disneyworld. Much larger, and as TIM087 said, it's very secluded, which many people prefer.

I think with the 50th Anniversary of Disneyland, Disneyland would be the wiser choice. From what I understand its cheaper, and like I said before, theres just something about it that even Disneyworld can't compare to.

Ive never been to Disney Land but ive been to Disney World twice, and I loved it. Disney Land is smaller I think.

I'd go with Disney World I guess...because its bigger and has more attractions, ect. Plus a lot of people go to DisneyWorld, Universal and SeaWorld because their all right next to each other.

As I was commented on my earlier post about the Disneyland's 50th Anniversary. I've been to Disney World 11 years ago. I've never been to Disneyland before, but I've heard it.

Disney World is also doing that because it's been 50 years since the actual Disney (not the park)started...so they're doing something called "The Happiest Celebration on Earth" where their bringing in rides from all over the country and stuff. So...if you're looking for that stuff either one would be good.

I went to Universal while I was staying at DisneyWorld. Universal was better.

I haven't been to Disneyland, but I can't see that ANYTHING can beat DisneyWorld! The best vacation I've ever had! It was 10 years ago and we're still talking about it. I'd love to go back and see the new animal park and all.

Plus, we took a day and went to Universal also. It was good, but I still liked Disney better but it did break up the "Disney" thing for a day.

I think both parks are going all out for the 50th so they're not going to be disappointed either way. Probably whichever they feel they can afford more - I'm sure Florida is more expensive (since there's more parks).

Yeah I agree

EmoJoe · 06-09-2005, 05:46 PM

The only bad thing about a Disney vacation is that by the end of the vacation you're beat from walking around the parks every day, all day

The animal park is pretty cool. When we were in Orlando a few years ago we went to 7 different parks in one week. Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom, Universal, MGM Studios, Sea World, Islands of adventure and Epcot. Plus the Hard Rock Cafe and a few other restaurants and we also took part of a day to show my friends little girl the ocean. It was exausting but it was the most fun I've ever had.
Anyways I'm surprised that DisneyWorld is bigger. I was always under the impression that Disneyland was the bigger one being that it's been around longer and they've had more time to add on to it.

Nope, it's the 50th Anniversary of Disneyland Park. I'm 100% positive.

Sorry - just checked their website and they're celebrating 50 years of Disney theme parks - all parks will be celebrating.

They are tiring, but its a great workout!
