Which of the five Disneylands/Magic Kingdoms do you like more.

I have only been to Florida so I don't feel qualified to vote but I await the results.

I will be opening up another poll for just wdw tonight.

I voted Paris. I just think it's a prettier park. If you overlook the atmosphere generated by the European crowds, Paris' MK park is just spectacular. Not only does it have the prettiest castle of all of them, it has some of the nicest theming in an MK style park. Plus it has the best Space Mountain and Big Thunder Mountain (it's on its own island!).

That's not to say I don't like the others (I've only been to Paris and Florida), MK at WDW is nice, and has some of my favourite attractions (Philharmagic, TTA, Jungle Cruise, Tiki Room, etc), but I just like the theming in the Paris park more. Plus, it was the first Disney park I visited.

Having said that, there's certainly something special about MK at WDW too. I don't know how to explain it, but I certainly so love that park too.

This is tough because I don't know how many people have been to all 5. But I have to say, although I LOVE wdw, the original Disneyland is superior to Florida's Magic Kingdom.

I've been to all five Magic Kingdoms. I don't think many would vote for Hong Kong because it's so new and missing some good attractions, but I loved it! I went in the beginning of July, and there were no lines! Space Mountain had no line and I went on it 11 times in a row! That would never happen in July at any of the other parks. Also, most of the guests had never been to a Disney park, and were experiencing the attractions for the first time. It was a lot of fun to watch their reactions.

I said FLA.... um but I am kinda biased having only been to WDW

It's been a long while since I've been to DL, but I think the edge for me would still go to WDW.

DL for me because its the original...and probably also because its the only one ive been to.

The Original, Walt's Park, the Happiest Place on Earth... Disneyland. Bar none.

For those that have been to both what are the major differences between the two? I have only been to DLR.

I've been to Orlando and Tokyo. From what I understand, Tokyo is based off of Anahiem. So, having said that. I believe the biggest difference is PotC being in Adventureland in Orlando, but New Orleans Square in Tokyo. The logistics of where Splash Mountain was placed are different too. One park has it on one side of Thunder Mountain and the other park on the other side of Thunder. I've also wondered about Star Tours? Does Anahiem have this attraction there, cuz Tokyo does, while this is not located at MK Orlando. Haunted Mansion is also positioned differently at the end of Fantasyland in Tokyo, but at the end of Liberty Square in Orlando. I would say this is the major difference; the little various plans in the layouts...

I've never been to DLR personally. But, from every show/video I've ever seen and every person I've talked to, here are the differences I've found:

-biggest difference is size. Orlando is twice the size of Anaheim, and I believe it's also bigger than any other MK in the world.

-Layout of the lands/attractions. DLR has New Orleans Square, while WDW has Liberty Square on the opposite side of Frontierland. DLR has several attractions exclusive to that coast, while the larger counterpoint also has a couple of exclusives. Also, some of the attractions that DLR has are in different parks in WDW (Star Tours, Innovations).

-Similar attractions may have different/additional scenes. POTC at DLR is about 8 minutes longer (I think) to it's WDW counterpart. HM at WDW has the added library scene, as well as the new endless staircase scene.

that's all I can think of at the moment...

Disneyland Paris has the biggest MK style park at 140 acres, not WDW's MK at 107 acres.

you guys make me wonder.... If WDW MK is so much bigger than DLR MK, why is WDW MK missing rides? Where in the heck is DLR MK putting them????
