    As someone who grew up at Disneyland (living 5 miles away with an annual pass), but now works as a Cast Member at Walt Disney World, this is one of the hardest questions to answer. Disneyland has a unique charm and some quality advantages, while Disney World has incredible size, more unique experiences, and a relaxing vibe if you know where to find it. I always tell people that if you want to spend just a day or two, Disneyland is going to offer you the better experience, but if you want to be completely immersed for over a few days (or even weeks), Disney World is the vacation capital of the world for a reason.

    The small size of Disneyland surprisingly works in its favor. Not only does it have far more rides than the other 5 US Disney theme parks, it is conveniently laid out into a relatively small area, and this makes it more walkable.

    This was a fun video Offhand but as an Australian, my experiences at Disneyland have always been more convenient, more enjoyable and far, far, far, FARRRR less stressful than WDW. It wasn't just because lower crowds but just a more organised and homely experience. I tend to recommend to people literally travelling from overseas for these once in a lifetime holidays to just go to Disnyeland because if you don't have a handle or have done your research on WDW, it's really hard to navigate, can be really overwhelming and just WAY, WAY, WAYYYYY too expensive!

      Right - like DLR found a nice unused space to add runaway railway but WDW straight up replaced The Great Movie ride for Runaway Railway.
      Like, my dudes…. What’s the point of having all this space if you’re not only replacing one ride for another, but arguably replaced it with a worse ride.
      Railway at DLR is already better by virtue of not replacing anything.

    My personal experience is everyone loves their first Disney park best. Whatever you did as a kid is where the most magic is found. I love Disneyland in way I don't think WDW could ever match, though I've only been there once for a half-day. It's more a reflection of Disneyland than anything else. My favorite childhood memories are there, my honeymoon was there, its where we took our kids when they were little.

      Like all good rules, people exist to break them- I went to WDW twice as a kid and the memories burned into my brain and I still have vivid recollections now as I near 30. I went to Disneyland for the first time in 2018 and it has blown all those memories out of the water and I love it so much. There’s just something so much more homey about Disneyland.
      But ultimately, and I’m sure that’s what he’s going for with this pair of videos, is that they both have things that make them “better” than the other.

  • @SleepyMedia
    @SleepyMedia Před rokem +48

    My theory on the business between WDW and DL (atleast a contributing factor) is people are more likely to book longer trips to experience multiple parks spread out through a mini-town at Disney World. Whereas you get a lot more day-trippers at Disneyland looking to do specific experiences.

    Went to Disney world as a kid and it’s the only vacation I’ve ever had. I remember we got the fast passes when they were new (around 2006). We got to skip a ridiculous amount of people in line. I’m telling you guys, we got on the ride in a few minutes when the other people had to wait HOURS because the lines were so long. It was crazy, so few people had the fast passes so we got all the rides out of the way for each park in a few hours and would just ride some over and over. Looking back I can see why the fast passes were so dumb. Either way, I had a great time as a kid but felt kinda bad for the people who had to wait so long in line. The longest line was probably the tower of terror and that only took us like 30 minutes. I don’t even want to know how long the others had to wait. Love your videos man keep it up.

    Okay so I've never been to Walt Disney World (that will change in January!) but as a Disneyland Resort local I would like to offer a few counterpoints:
    1. Park hopping.
    2. Despite WDW having twice the amount of parks, the two resorts actually have a very similar amount of rides. That means there's more to do per park and you can get more done in a day. Having four parks does seem impressive, but the three non-Magic Kingdom parks only have a few major rides per park and strike me as being undersized to meet their demand. Meanwhile Disneyland is the most stacked park on planet Earth and DCA does pretty well too.
    3. You raise your Haunted Mansion, I raise our Pirates, Small World, and Splash.
    4. Indy.
    5. I will agree that the tone is very go-go-go at DL, but I don't know if I buy that it's going to be any less so at WDW?
    6. I don't really know how to put this, but Disneyland just feels so personal and magical. Disneyland is the only park that Walt Disney himself personally oversaw the construction of and it shows. You can tell the difference even just by going across the way to DCA.
    I am still excited to go to WDW though, especially Animal Kingdom since I love animals and nature. We'll see how I feel about the resort after personal experience!

They said it's too hot and things we're way more expensive, lines were way longer, and it just didn't feel as much fun and excitement as going to Disneyland. They also said they saw a lot less characters. It rained everyday so they got soaked, and they said it takes forever to get to the parks.

    I have to agree with the rant on DL bag check and turnstiles. I've been a passholder since the late 90s and I miss just being able to walk in with my simple AP card. If you've ever used the DL app, especially if you hold the tickets for your party, you know how painful it is to swipe through and have them scan each one individually (The tickets are lined up and swiping is "sticky"). We usually debate before going if we REALLY need to bring a backpack since we like to be able to have snacks and water bottle but don't want to deal with bag check. The Toy Story lot is usually really good with having several stations with plenty of bag checkers (as long as you show up before 12) so the line isn't too long but you never know when you'll get the guy that checks every square inch of your bag and makes you remove EVERYTHING.

    I grew up in California and so I never really understood what the big deal was about Disney World. I was amused to visit Epcot just to visit someplace new but I really had no idea just how mind blowing Lee amazing Epcot really is. I can only describe Epcot as being a Disneyland for adults. Rather than get children excited with rides and attractions, Epcot gets adults excited with themed drinks and themed food that is authentic to the locations it is representing. I was absolutely giddy as a grown adult to visit each of their plans and spend a good hour at least touring each land. It was absolutely amazing.

    Stayed at Pop Century last year. Now that they have the skyliner it is the best way to stay on a budget at the resort. Still ate at the fancy seafood restaurant over at the other hotel by Epcot. Skyliner system was great to get to the parks and restaurants and back to our room.
    They need to expand the system more, as it was even more disappointing the next day getting on a bus to go to Disney springs. Buses are neat and all, but they lack that Disney charm.

Plus you get more stuff at each park even if there are less parks. Also, park hopping at Disneyland is super easy and doesn’t waste hours off your valuable park time. Done both and honestly Epcot is the main reason I’d consider WDW again.

    My ten counter arguments:
    1. Salt & Straw, downtown Disney. Trust me on this.
    2. Better space mountain and pirates in CA
    3. Disney history tours (like the one where you get to see Walt’s apartment)
    4. Less planning required, room for improvisation
    5. The fact that the monorail isn’t needed for actual transportation is understated in this video. Getting around the resort is ridiculously easy and can be done on foot.
    6. Affordable non-Disney hotels within walking distance.
    7. Your grandma won’t get arrested for having CBD like she will in Florida (yeah technically even medicinal weed isn’t allowed on property but the penalty is much less harsh. They just tell you to put it back in your car or dispose of it for you)
    8. ORIGINAL TIKI ROOM
    9. Cats. It wouldn’t feel like Disney without everyone’s favorite felines.
    10. Less choices. This one is definitely a preference, but if you’re like me, the ability to do everything and still have time to just wander and redo your favorites (3 or 4 days is more than enough time) is just such a luxury and a source of stress relief.

    Really though it’s all preference. The biggest difference I’m finding in the split is that people who prefer WDW can list their reasonings and hard facts off rapid fire but people who prefer Disneyland more so try to stress the “vibes”, the way the park makes you feel. Almost like shopping at a specialty boutique vs a department store.

    Well Dyllon..not sure that's how it's spelled but I love your content. I will not hold thos against you..I have never been to DW I may never go. I am 68 and grew up with DL..I even worked there in the 70's so to me DL is the best..and here's my reason why..
    I AM OLD and getting around DL and DCA is enough for me. I walk wioth a cane and get arouind alright but at times the walk back to the hotel is...trying. I find that the compactness of DL resort is enough for me. The amount of rides and entertainment in that small foot print is rather amazing in itself. So for me the size of little 'ol Disneyland makes it my park and perhaps if I get to go to DW that may change but as it is..I live in Hawaii and DL is just a short plane ride away and I love it.
    Thank you for your work and keep it up

    I’ve been to both parks. However, I’ve been to Walt Disney World 6 times and Disneyland once. Keep in mind, I am only 20 years old, so even my parents agree that WDW is better. Space Mountain at MK is my favorite attraction of all time, EPCOT is my favorite park in the world, and I personally think the resorts are much better here. Keep in mind, this is coming from someone who stays at Pop Century at almost every visit. I love Walt Disney World so much that after college, I am trying to work in the finance department of the parks branch, so that WDW could be my life. Even if I don’t work for Disney, I will move to Florida within the next few years so I can visit the parks every weekend.

    I went to Disneyland for the first time in Aug and hoenstly. I liked Disney World way better. If even only for how guest flow is handled. Also Disneyland has next to NO ac and it was hot af when I was there. I will admit I did enjoy a few rides more at Disneyland, but for me the Con outweighted the Pros for me. Also WDW CM's are nicer... There I said it. IDK if I just caught them all on a bad day but not a single CM said/wished me Happy Birthday, nor did I get any congrats for getting Married. (It's not that big a deal but at WDW I got so much attention on my birthday.)

It feels different here....There IS more....but it feels like less. There is plenty to do but somehow it just doesn't have the charm. They try less here, I think. I've been back to Disneyland and DCA twice since moving here and I know for sure, I miss it.

  • @chrism3687
    @chrism3687 Před rokem +2

    10.) The Gift of Size - They don't use it properly. They don't! Yes they have for more room...maybe, except for whern you don't. You bloody know well what I'm talking about. Congestion points will always be congested. Flat out fact. You have more room, but way less attractions. Add in the missing attractions and I bloody guarantee you would see the traffic jams.
    10-a.) Moving between parks - Moving between parks is a huge pain in the rear in Flordia for the half day parks. You certainly just don't walk across an esplanade. Shuttles, busses, boats, and monorails are involved.
    9. You got pretty close on the Disneyland Monorail. They have decicided to keep the Disneyland Monorail an attraction. It's a bit of a bonus for those of us who know how to get parked over in the Pixar parking structure and down through downtown disney into Tomorrowland, bypassing the trams and esplanade gate fiasco in early morning.
    8. Skyliner transportation not necessary to Anaheim. Not for consideration. You can walk between the two parks. This is a huge bonus. No mass transit needed.
    7. Ground walking is subjective. Nothing stopping you from leaving either park and walking downtown disney into the Grand Californian or Disneyland Hotel. Both hotels will welcome guests, hotel guests or not. Some of the best dining service I've had was at the GCH while not staying, and just kicking it on the patio of the Hearthstone.
    6. Water Parks. You got it there. Knotts is a cheap uber away. Raging Waters also. However, you are correct for getting wet, outside of the pools at the resorts, or the rides in the parks, not going to happen.
    5. Anaheim Resort security is pathetic. It's a crap shoot. I'll routinely have my camera bag with me, and sometimes they just gloss over it, and some days I have to remove each and every lense for their inspection. At Disneyland Paris, just sent the thing through the x-ray and it was fine. Disney World, just walked through with my umbrella over my head. I don't know Mate, different locations and different requirements? I just go with the flow. Best investment I ever made was a belt with a plastic buckle. Saves so much time.
    4. I'm not even going to talk about the people mover, rocket rods, or the defunct night lighting track as it is now. You have sooo many episodes covering this.
    3. Rides - Disneyland has this bang to rights. Withj a Matterhorn in the the park. No other park has a Matterhorn. Also inside Disneyland are Indiana Jones (not the back breaking coaster), Star Tours, and oh yeah, Star Wars Galaxy's Edge with Smugglers Run and Rise of the Resistance. Thiose alone would cost you like 2 parks?
    Just do a 1 -1 comparison of rides in Florida Parks dispersed vs Anaheim Resort and you'll come to the same conclusion. Go to Anaheim for the rides.
    2. Haunted Mansion - Here we must agree to disagree. In my opionin, Disneyland is an overall better experience when not rushed. You get to kind of relax and enjoy the walkthrough portion queue before being crammed onto the ride. Disneyworld, out you go and onto the ride and away!
    1. Our Astro Orbiter used to require a NASA elevator ride up to the platform that was on top of the people mover platform giving a splendid view of the park. Unfortuantely people got fat, and the new ride system couldn't work up there, so they had to move it to ground level. I agree with you here, elevated orbiter was far superior.

    Hi find it nuts to complain about how hard it is to get into Disneyland when in florida there is literally a giant obstacle you have to pass between the parking lot on the park - the LAKE. You either gotta wait for the boat or wait for the monorail. Annoyyyying. And to park hop you can literally walk across the plaza. You don’t have to take a bus or a boat or a monorail or whatever. It’s just right there.

    I think that Disneyland is much more accessible and cheaper. You need less days to spend at Disneyland. Disney world has a more unique experience. Disneyland is a weekend getaway while Disney world is a more full vacation area. I have been to both. I do like Disneyland better than Magic Kingdom. I think California adventure is a unique experience you can’t get at Disney world. However, Epcot and animal kingdom are super unique. Hollywood studios Has the best rides but they really need to work on decreasing those wait times

    As someone from the outside looking in, who doesn't live in America and has never been to a Disney park, World definitely seems more appealing.

  • @jamesmarshall6619
    @jamesmarshall6619 Před rokem +1

    As someone who has visited both multiple times I think Disney World is better but for me the comparisons are silly. Disneyland being original, they weren't quite thinking of space and became landlocked to some extent while Disney World had a base and ideas to expand upon. Something that was planned and built to have more is obviously going to be better. I do disagree that DIsneyland is less laid back than Magic Kingdom. Go to Universal for a few days then Magic Kingdom and you notice a major difference as Magic Kingdom is far more hectic and when comparing to Disneyland, Disneyland is slightly less hectic because you don't have to work as far, weather is nicer, atmosphere is about as laid back as Disneyland park/Magic Kingdom can get. Epcot I agree with, Epcot is my favorite park and is very laid back and the resorts also add to the experience along with Animal Kingdom. California Adventures is fun and helped by the fact it's right there with the Disneyland Park and is a good park but doesn't quite match Epcot. Hollywood Studios as a park has more but not sure it's better than California Adventures dues to the discursive theming, it just feels odd. I don't have any particular loyalty to either place, because of how big Disney World is, how much is has to offer it is the better overall experience by far and away but to me like I said, comparison seems silly because while they both offer a Disney experience they are not and can't provide the same or even similar experience. To me Disneyland is where you should go if you are on a short vacation of two or three days whereas Disney World is where you should go if you're vacationing 4 days or more.

    I have a desk job and not the most athletic person and I love going to Walt Disney World I didn’t start going until 2019 after I went on a Disney Cruise in 2018 well I loved it so much I did 2 Disney cruises that year and after a 3 day Halloween cruise me and my best friend went to Magic Kingdom for the day because neither of us had been. I feel in love with the park and planned a full 4 park day and an extra evening event at Animal Kingdom and going to some of the resorts and having dinner there. So I have since been to Walt Disney World 3 more times my recent was in October 2022. The reason I mentioned my job and and not being in shape or athletic is WDW EXHAUSTING! You got the 4 parks, Disney Springs where you will want to have dinner and do some shopping, the 2 water parks, which I haven’t been to yet, then each Hotel Resorts with their unique designs and unique restaurants. So you will need to be in shape or you might end up renting an Electronic wheelchair. I wanna make it to Disneyland one day because it’s the original, it was what Walt had a big hand in. Plus they have the Cars Land which we don’t have at WDW but I’d like to see the differences, some of the OG rides.
