Has anyone ever been to all the Disney resorts? (Give or take Hong Kong)

I been to DLP around 10-15 times now (lost count exactly!) and WDW 6 times along with California once. The rides in the Magic Kingdom are definately better in Paris. Space mountain in Paris is 1000 times better than the Florida version. Pirates, Thunder Mountain and the Haunted Mansion are also much better in France. They have definately learnt from the previous parks.
Having said that, for the whole Disney experiance you can't beat America. Unfortunately the French's people skills are not a patch on the Americans more friendly nature. Also a lot of the continentals seem to think its fine to trapse over the flower beds which makes the place look untidy. It doesn't help that the French are much less of perfectionists. The whole place could do with a lick of paint, especially the hotels!

DLRP has the largest Magic Kingdom in the world. It's very impressive and well worth a visit.

I've been to four of the five resorts. TDR is probably the best overall themed. HKDL was, well to put it bluntly, lacking. It has all of the markings for a great park and Hong Kong itself is a great place to go but I guess that will come with time. DL in CA was impressive (my first time was only a couple of years ago). WDW is still tops in my book. I'm looking forward to going to DLRP in a few years.

The parks at Tokyo are very accepting of foreign tourists who don't speak the language (if you can learn a few simple phrases it would be helpful). All of the signage is in both Japanese and English and all of the foods cashiers have cards with pictures of the various items. Listening to Mickey or the Country Bears in Japanese is a unique experience. You won't understand exactly what they're saying but you'll get the jist of it.

I'am from Germany and when DLP opened, me and my friends where there...
I visit as often as possible, Space M is better than else where and it's also great cause there is g** Paris just around the next stop at the highway.
It's gettin better and better, only one thing is sad they took away the Vincent Price Phantom M. speech ... and most stuff is only in french
But it's funtastic

WDW is far better than Disneyland Paris (we go to both every year). I might lean toward Disneyland being better than Disneyland Paris but I'm sure my wife likes Disneyland Paris better but WDW is still our favorite hands down. We have friends that have lived in Korea and Japan and they have told us that Disneyland Tokyo is their favorite but they have not been to WDW. We'd like to visit Tokyo but we cannot get excited about Hong Kong...

I have never been to one outside of the US yet. One day I hope to though, but I just have a feeling it is not going to be as good as WDW or Disneyland.

70+ times Disneyland Resort Paris so far, annual passport holder since 1997 actually.

3 times WDW: 2000, 2004 and 2007

Hopefully a Cali roundtrip next year somewhere in March. Just the thought of DCA being the park "where it all started", as well as the Burbank studios.
