Ahh the old debate! Can't we just love them both equally? :)

I think that's if you like Tokyo Disneyland. I've heard it's basically a blend of Magic Kingdom and Disneyland. Hmmm. Maybe that is the answer.

I would have definitely said Disneyland, since it was conceived as a whole place in itself and is so condensed and cohesive...

And then they screwed up Tomorrowland. Ugh. Makes me want to cry.

So, MK for me.
No, no... He's got a point.

I am definitely in the camp of believing that Disneyland is far better than Magic Kingdom. Nevertheless, I do agree that resort-wise, WDW just smashes the DLR.

I worked at the Magic Kingdom at WDW for years, so there will always be a special place in my heart for that park. However, based upon my visits to Disneyland, I have to give my vote to the original. There is just something special about Disneyland--a feeling of history, and of Walt's presence--that the Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World will never possess.

The attention to detail, number of attractions, lush theming, and historical significance at Disneyland all make that park #1 in my book.

Overall Disneyland is better than MK, but man, the DL castle is sooo small.

Indeed they both and strong and weak points. That is why it is hard to decide on this one. Although, I do, however, like Disneyland better. That is just me.
Love Tomorrowland and Adventureland, but hard to decide to which one is best.
