Adventure Land
Tiki Room: DLR has the original and better version. Iago and Zazou do nothing but ruin the feel by adding disney characters to an original Walt attraction that was never intended to have characters from the movies. It was really amazing to see the tiki room in it's original glory having been stuck with under new management for so long.
Indiana Jones: A spectacular ride missing at WDW.
Jungle Cruise: WDW wins here with a longer ride and better thematics.
Treehouse: Ugh. Jungle Book treehouse loses to the original Swiss family robinson. Another shameless change that wasn't needed. WDW wins
New Orleans Square:
Blue Bayou: IMHO the best sit down resturant in either magic kingdom.
Pirates: Come on.. DLR easily wins with 4 extra minutes a better story and a more and longer drop.
Haunted Mansion: A toss up here. They both have positives that the other lacks.
Frontierland:
Tom Sawyers Island with Pirates Lair: DLR is much better. It was very well upgraded and a lot of fun for kids and adults to play in.
Splash: Much better story telling at WDW.
Big Thunder: Same.. Except you can see some historic themes and animatronics from early rides in DLR.
Country Bears: WDW wins because they have it!
Toontown:
DL wins hands down. The toontown at DLR must be seen. It's amazingly themed. Also, it has Roger Rabbits Cartoon spin.
FantasyLand:
Small World: I hate them both now due to the changes against Mary Blair. However, the outside at DL is extremely well done.
Matterhorn: The first steel tube rollercoaster in history. only at DLR
DLR also has Alice, and Toad, Pinochio, a cool little castle walk through, the only original WDW has in Fantasyland is Philharmagic.
Tomorrowland
TL and I have a love hate relationship. Theme wise they lose to WDW big time. WDW also has TTA
![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)
The problem I have with the Tomorrowland in WDW is that I think it's lost its way. Its going away from the future and just be drab and boring nowish. Monsters Inc laugh floor? Stitch?
Autopia: is double the length of Indy speedway and much more fun
NEMO Subs: They have the nemo subs again! WOOT
Buzz: Guns are detachable and easier to aim.
StarTours: Great place to put it in DL.
Space Mountain: The big winner here and I think it still will be after the refurb at WDW. They completly replaced the track and put in new cars and redid the entire queue in DLR. ITs amazing.. Pitch black, great audio, and I have never been on a smoother rollercoaster. CASCADE ALARM! BEEP!
NO STAR TUNNEL AT DLR THOUGH.. NEGATIVE POINTS!

I just wrote this quickly off the top of my head and would love to discuss further..
But my breakdown goes like this.
WDW wins Tomorrowland (minus space), Main Street USA, the Castle, and Frontierland.
DLR wins AdventureLand, New orleans square, Fantasyland (and HOW), toon town, and eating.
This is all my humble opionion and I would love to hear yours.
