One of the biggest factors is the Disney Bubble you get going to Disney World. It's really immersive. Leave the gates of Disney Land and boom, real world. It's a bit of a trade off because the immersion is nice and often frankly magical, but it's also nice to just be able to walk across the street back to my hotel instead of waiting on an extremely crowded bus at the end of the night.
I’ve been to both, so here’s my conclusion: If you have a family with a lot more younger people (3-) then go to Disneyland, because there’s more family rides. If you have a family with a lot more OLDER people (4+) then go to Disney World, there’s a lot more rollercoasters and such.
WDW is not Spectacular. Fantasmic, Parades & The Fireworks are better at Disneyland, and, Small World is more spectacular at DL and so is Indiana Jones Adventure.
I couldn't help to notice there aren't many videos on Disneyland. The only times you talk about it is their food. It would be great if you made some videos about secret attractions, or best things to do there. Then again I haven't seen all your videos so I could be wrong.
I'm from California I live 30min from Disneyland. Anyone who steps in that park feels a welcoming warmth. There are still people working that knew Walt. You can talk to them. Disneyland is smaller yes but also intimate and grabs ur heart.
Denise Torres i would NEVER want to live near a Disney park. It just ruins the feeling for me... You wouldent stay at the hotel to save some money, and you can go way more often.
Jenna the Gamer I also live 30mins away, and it doesn’t ruin the experience. Just because your close doesn’t mean you go often, I have friends who have never been to Disneyland. Plus you don’t really see any advertising for it, they only have the bill boards and stuff when your about five mins away. plus it’s still expensive, even without the hotel
Mohamad Mahmoud Disneyland has about the same number of rides and attractions as Disney World. Disneyland also has more unique attractions. But because of significantly closer distances between parks and much closer distances between rides and attractions within the parks and smaller crowds you get way more done per day. Most of the reason Disney World takes at least a week to get everything done and Disneyland only takes a couple days is you spend five minutes hopping between parks and 30 minutes to an hour in line for something that you would have had to spend 30 minutes hopping between parks and two hours waiting in line for at Disney World.
I've only been to WDW because I live on the east coast. At the end of the day the choice of what's better is subjective, which is why I don't get why people compare the two.
I think the reason is many people cant afford to go more than once, so it really is the trip of a lifetime! They may only be able to go to Disneyland or Disney World, not both, so need all the info in order to decide which is for them :)
Disney Fan it depends on if you live near there. For example, I only live 2 hours away from Disney world. Usually I go around every year to half year if I’m lucky, and I’m very grateful for that. I think it really depends on where you are and it’s a lot cheaper when you already live near it.
@@melissafuhr281 you sound spoiled. I'm from the UK. Have you travelled around the world? Most people around the world have no experience of anything this big. American-sized everything is massive.
In my opinion, Disney world is like a literal WORLD, while Disneyland is an amusement park. Disney world is HUGE, and even OUTSIDE of the parks, there’s so much to do. There’s water parks, Disney springs (shopping center), and golf courses. It’s like the second you drive under the sign that says “Disney World” (if you drive under it) you aren’t in flordia anymore. You’re in disney. There’s like no trace of the real world, you are fully immersed in it, while in disney land, you walk out and the real world is back.
I went to Disneyland as a young kid when I lived n California and I lived walking distance from it. Lately, I've been going to disneyworld and it's a driving distance from us since we live in Georgia so I love them both.
1- Magic Kingdom (most visited theme park on Earth, bigger more beautiful version of DL, best castle fireworks show) 2- Disneyland (most rides packed in one park, amazing nighttime shows, worst castle and worst Tomorrowland) 3- Tokyo Disney Sea (most original, beautifully themed) 4- Disneyland Paris (the most beautiful Disney castle park, elegant, best Tomorrowland, Phantom Manor) 5- Epcot (original, World Showcase is unique and breathtaking, lacks enough rides until revamp is complete) 6- California Adventure (great rides, Cars land, World of Color, worst theming cohesion of any park) 7- Animal Kingdom (original, most elaborate theming of all parks, Flight of Passage is the best Disney attraction in the US) 8- Shanghai Disneyland (huge, most advanced attractions of any Disney park, very unique lands and rides, weather sucks) 9- Hollywood Studios (great rides and Fantasmic, lacks attractions until Star Wars opens) 10- Tokyo Disneyland (blatant copy of Magic Kingdom and DL, with no originality, fun but nothing unique) 11- Walt Disney Studios (only worth visiting for the amazing Ratatouille area, worst park until expansion opens)
Disneyland DOES NOT HABE THE WORST CASTLE, sure it's small but it's cozy and welcoming especially with all the foliage around it, Walt Disney Worlds looks like a concrete thing in the middle of nowhere (with the old paint job) and Disneylands fantasy land fits so much more well than wdws carnival tents
@@ryankiser294 Sorry but only a Disneyland fan would agree with you. Disneyland castle is the smallest, least impressive, lamest of the castles, and it looks toyish. Literally all of the other castles worldwide are taller and more imposing, with better detail
@@luuchoo93 nah the one at Disneyland is based off if the Neuschwanstein Castle in Bavaria,Germany, you can also walk through it not just a little tunnel like wdw, it's alosbthr castle that WALT himself made
@@ryankiser294 It could be based on any castle you want, but it’s none of those original castles. It’s a minuscule cheap castle you can barely see from the entrance (unlike the other huge castles which are majestic centerpieces). Being the original doesn’t mean you’re the best, and it’s very clear for every Disney park fan around the globe that DL’s castle has become outdated and tiny compared to the new versions. Also, Walt Disney also designed the Cinderella Castle in Orlando, he actually created all of Disney World to start all over and correct all the mistakes he had made in Anaheim
There is another key factor I'd like to point out. WEATHER! Disneyland is much more reliable on that front. Pretty much year round you're good to go. Where as Florida can be extremely humid with thunderstorms that can come out of no where. This can close various attractions and keep the unprepared tourist clothes damp all day.
Yo this! I went to both parks during the summer, and the weather at Disney World is unbearable!! The rain comes at unexpected times and it's frustrating when rides had to be closed for a while. It's a struggle to adjust when one is used to a dry climate.
Right light rain and possible thunderstorms are higher in Florida than California around summer. My sister remembers a ride we missed because it just started pouring. Overall been to Walt Disney World twice, but thinking about experiencing Walt Disney Land eventually.
BOTH!!! I live near Disneyland like 5 hours away but it is a classic and I love the atmosphere there but, I did go to Disney world over spring break and I loved the size, atmosphere, rides, parks, and food I can't find to good of food at Disneyland and I am not too picky of a eater.
I like how the locals defend their park with a passion, I really respect the home pride, but I live in Texas so I have a more fair opinion as I didn't grow up with either. Disney world is more fun because of all the things you can do in my humble opinion, but occasionally I prefer Disneyland as it feels like everything is closer and you can just move from place to easier. It just depends on what you like really.
May I dare to say that choice of "better" is mostly picked by nostalgia! Personally I believe both resorts have a charm of their own! Im from the east coast so my heart immediately goes to Walt Disney World ❤❤❤ the memories of my childhood linger in that park and now my children's memories are being made there as well! My husband worked at WDW! I mean its great! I do agree that it lacks that Disneyland charm but then again there's just something grand about it! Visit both! You wont regret it.
I completely agree with you, many say that Disneyland is more nostalgic but when I was at Disneyland recently I found myself longing to go to WDW because it is where I grew up going.
I'm from California and I went to WDW this part March. My first day I did Magic Kingdom and I immediately wanted to return back to Disneyland in California. I was so disappointed...the other 3 parks were great! MK was awful. Animal Kingdom's two stand out rides were cool. Hollywood Studios was cute. But Epcot was amazing. I loved all the food options there. I still prefer Disneyland resort over WDW.
Love your videos! I did Disneyland before Disney World. I believe both parks are so worth seeing! Such a blast, what draws me more to Disneyland is the history, my love of California and that you can do it in a day! Much more manageable with little ones
I been to Disneyland, Disney world and Shanghai Disneyland. Disney world definitely has a special place in my heart, I even give it a special nickname. To me, all other park are just Disney theme park, but Disney world is a special place, I literally cry every time when the flight land in Orlando!
Hey AJ, I found as a person with a disability that Disneyland was significantly easier for me to visit. I am an above knee amputee, so I am still pretty mobile, however the walking at DL seemed to be easier than WDW. Also it was easier to jet across to each of the parks and “park hop” for our fast passes (we were at DL and finally saw a good time for Radiator Springs Racers and were able to get over to California adventure without having to worry about me and my mobility). Also, when I went to Disney world in December of 2018, I was surprised to find that I needed to set my disability fast pass ability in advance at the service desk. So as a result, I wasn’t able to use it and found myself standing in long lines for things like Soarin at Epcot. In Disneyland, often times I got to either skip the line entirely or get a special fast pass just for people with disabilities where they would give me a return time to come back and ride. I didn’t need to set up anything in advance they just had to see I was disabled. So if I had to give advice to anyone with mobility issues I would vote for Disneyland. But both are great and both are perfectly accessible.
I love how you don’t just do food on your channel. This video is great. I wanted to get your thoughts on ride/attraction maintenance. With costs to go to any Disney theme park at a premium, it’s a bit of a downer when a popular ride is under remodeling or in case of Disney California, a whole area. Thanks and keep the videos coming.
The weather in Florida is generally very comfortable and relatively.dry from November through first of March generally. It can be very nice from, generally, October through March. We always go during those months and almost always like the weather in So Cal.
When I went to Disneyland I found that wait times were shorter, I ended up getting way more fast passes during the day, with fast pass I could get the harder to get ride fast passes even in the afternoon because they don’t release the fast passes all right in the morning, and with the Max pass you get unlimited photo pass for however long you have the Max pass.
I love how low stress Disneyland is. I can drive down, stay at a motel across the street for pretty cheap, walk right into either park and pop between them all day with no effort. No tiered fast passes or booking all your fast passes months in advance and then not being able to change them. The whole experience just has a more casual, spontaneous feel. For me, Disneyland also feels cozier than WDW. That could totally be my own nostalgia but I also think that the fact so many locals go to the park regularly gives it a different vibe. I do love WDW as well and I definitely miss things like Epcot when I’m in DL but DL just feels like coming home.
It’s probably just because you are close to it. I’ve never been, but I go to Disney world fairly often- 1 to a half of a year in between each visit. This makes it a relaxing experience since I know a lot of things about the park, and we live only 2 hours away as well. This for me makes Disney world a better park, but again, I’ve never been to Disney land, just seen pictures and videos.
trust me, a lot of loyal locals go to Disney World regularly too lol I go once or twice a week. Sometimes I'll just pop into to grab lunch or ride the Skyliner
I've been to Disneyland, Disneyland Paris, and Disney World and Disney World and Magic Kingdom takes the cake in nearly all categories for me. Disney World has 3 other parks, 2 water parks, Disney Springs, and so many other little Disney things sprinkled around Central Florida, it's endless Disney! I also disagree with DFB on the food being in favor of Disneyland because she forgot one thing: Epcot! The park literally based around food and with the annual Food and Wine festival. You just can't top it. Magic Kingdom just feels more grand, more magical. Cinderella's castle is well over two times the size of Disneyland's Sleeping Beauty castle. The night-time shows are just more impressive. More buildings, more food, more shows, just more.
@@veronicacarbajal1809 yeah it's expensive though, my mum would never able to afford it as a kid since the flights to another country, the Visa, the hotel prices, the park tickets, the food prices, etc I don't care what age I am I'm not going to miss out on going to Disneyland or World, both them are bigger than the town I grew up in and live in, now that's crazy, it's much bigger than just my town, its a lot more, it's a big part of my countries land mass since that's about the size of a city here I would probably choose Disney world because when in Rome..
@@rflsr5276 England, nearest place is Paris but still a flight. The costs of Disney world put me off And No I don't live near London so there's no Eurotunnel and nearest airport is 50miles and i don't have a car And honestly I don't want to go Paris it's no longer a nice place to visit so I would choose the one in America since a country i want to visit America anyways Here's the thing if I was to travel 5000 miles I'll prefer to experience real America
I agree on what you said. Though the fast passes at Disney world making them 60 days if your staying at the Disney hotels or 30 days if not. To me you at a disadvantage for the big rides are almost gone fast. At Disneyland you can’t make it till your in the park makes it fair. Also I like the magic band at Disney World wish they had it at Disneyland
I would like to point out that while yes WDW has more value for its price point for a 4 day hopper; it also is impossible to do everything in WDW in 4 days where as with a 4 day park hopper for Disneyland you can do pretty much everything in 4 days. I have a Annual pass and usually when we go we finish both parks in 2 days with extra time to spare with 2-6 people depending on who is going. We have no small kids so we move faster but the average family with kids with a 4 days should be able to cover everything with extra time to ride your favorite rides again
When we went to WDW we got 5 day park hoppers and only park hopped on the last day from Animal Kingdom to EPCOT where we had reservations for lunch. So, a park hopper was wasted for the other days. The thought of having to get on a transport of some sort to park hop deterred us from doing it. I like that we can just leave Disneyland and walk right across to DCA. For that matter even into Downtown Disney.
I always tell people going for the first time to not get the park hopper. It usually ends up being a large waste of money. Especially if it's your first time, you can make a full day at each park, and the distance between most of the parks is pretty vast and time consuming to travel between. If you do decide to not spend the whole day, take the time to relax, go swimming, go to Disney Springs, etc. I feel like while it's easier to go between the two parks at DL, a park hopper there is also probably something you can just skip and save the money.
I've gone to Disneyland for years growing up. But after visiting Disney World, Disneyland doesn't seem worth my money anymore. It just feels years behind Disney World yet it's almost as expensive
With respect, I don't see the basis for this opinion. Both coasts have really cool new stuff all the time. The only park that's not years behind right now is Shanghai. In the U.S., both resorts have areas that need to be updated but they're building new stuff as we speak. Yes, they're both quite expensive.
Though I love Disney World, I'm not good at planning and prefer to be in places within walking distance so Disneyland is the park best suited to me (plus I love the historical significance of Disneyland too).
I live in southern california. I've been to disneyland several dozen time and been to WDW only once but i'd prefer disneyland since it's the original. A classic never goes out of style.
That’s like me with Disneyland Paris, I live in England so it’s not too far for me but I’ve only been to WDW once, kinda disappointed with magic kingdom as it was so similar to Disneyland Paris. From what I’ve seen California and Paris and quite similar and original
Texas is more like California than Florida imo. People in east Texas consider it part of the South whereas people in West Texas consider it the West. Considering it was once part of Mexico I would say it's west at it core.
We'll probably do Disneyland once Galaxy's Edge opens there since we're on the West Coast and my hubby loves Star Wars. However, I feel it's going to be a let down considering my favorite Disney park is Animal Kingdom.
I will also say I love the fact that I dont have to pick my FP 2 months in advance. I dont want to be stuck to a time the entire trip. Don’t forget we have paper fast passes too. People don’t HAVE to purchase Max Pass unless yes they want to reserve through their phone. I will rue the day DL ever goes the way of WDW and FP+
I agree. It's so easy going there on a spontaneous trip and still get top notch fast passes. Unlike at wdw... We planned three weeks prior our trip... Mostly got lame ass fast passes. That system is not very fair. While Disneylands system is!
Disneyworld is light years ahead of Disneyland. The biggest criteria are rides and food, which Disneyworld takes in a landslide. The only reason to go to Disneyland is that you've been to Disneyworld too much or that you just want to check out the Indiana Jones ride, GOTG ride or Cars ride.
Disney World is NOT “light years” ahead of Disneyland. Disneyland has a charm Disney World can’t touch. Plus you have cast members that actually care about and take pride in the park. As far as food I just watched a video of some Disney World die hards who visited Disneyland for the first time in years and they were falling all over themselves for the Disneyland food (counter service specifically) and asking why Disney World couldn’t get it figured out how to provide great food like this. True, Disneyland doesn’t have as much “fancy” dining, but kicks Disney World in the pants when it comes to casual dining.
As this video even said, the park food is better in Disneyland than WDW. And the rides in Disneyland that are the same in WDW have been compared in many vloggers' videos who are WDW guests and come to Disneyland for the first time. And they say the versions in Disneyland are better than WDW.
I couldn't help but notice your implication that Disney World's employees do not take care of and pride their park. I can tell you 100% that that isn't true. There are people on both ends that don't care, and people who do. It was my brother's birthday, and a janitor stopped y brother, pulled out a birthday pin and proceeded to ask him several questions about what hi favorite characters and villains were, and by then end he created a beautiful button that had all of the characters my brother named to spell out his name. And a side note, I prefer Disney quick service but that's just my preference. :)
This video insinuates there is a lot more overall at Disney World than there is at Disneyland. And when we compare actual resorts this is true. But that doesn’t mean you can’t spend a week or more at Disneyland and be bored. There is just as much to do at Disneyland than there is at Disney World - it’s just that much of that you would have to seek outside of the Disneyland resort itself. And this isn’t a bad thing. Southern California has a lot of high-quality options. If you like theme parks there’s Universal Studios and Knott’s Berry Farm. If you like entertainment or Night life there’s Los Angeles and Hollywood. Fine art museums are easy to find. There’s also golf nearby and miniature golf too. If it’s the beach you like the nearest beach is a 20 minute drive away (comparable to some of the transportation times at Disney World). And winter sports too - when there is no drought - skiing is less than a 2 hour drive away. So don’t think you’ll be bored at Disneyland after a couple days. There really is a lot to do.
Disney world!! Even tho disney land is great. It's just WDW has more of every thing it's just feels bigger and more magical.and just THREE resorts come on WALT DISNEY LAND! In WHICH WDW has at least 35 different resorts they all have a theam that kids love! And four parks not including disney Springs and they have water parks in parks! I mean come on Disney land step up your game!!
Weather is a huge deciding factor for me and Florida weather is just miserable compared to CA weather! I love staying at a Disney owned resort in WDW but it’s just not worth it to stay at a Disney owned resort at DL. Also, Disneyland quick service is way better than WDW, but I like WDWs table service food better. Disneyworld ends up being a much more expensive vacation bc you just can’t do WDW in 4 days, but you can’t totally do DL in 4 days! I’ve been to both parks and I can honestly say that I can’t decide which I like better, they are both different but I don’t think one is necessarily better than the other.
My family and I used to go to Disney World every year until we visited the ICONIC Disneyland. It's true what they say, "Nothing beats an original". Something is so magical about riding on attractions that Walt literally designed. You can even eat at his favorite restaurant. (WOW!) Disneyland feels like a landmark while Disney World seems like a tourist trap. Something unique we learned, although Disney World has 4 different parks and Disneyland has only 2..... There are only 5 rides that are additional to Disneyworld and none of them are truly popular in Orlando (Minus Epcot Globe ride). We talked to someone in corporate and they explained that they ONLY put attractions that REALLY work in Disneyland Resort because of the limited space. So you would get a huge deal here by only having to buy tickets to 2 parks. As for food, I agree Disneyland Resort food is WAY better. They just cater to a higher clientele (No offense) it is in SoCal and near Los Angeles so they have to "up" the food game in order to compete. Food can somewhat be more costly at Disneyland Resort because the quality. They really concentrate on farm fresh and local ingredients because guest(s) tend to be pickier eaters there; where as Disneyworld tends to throw processed and commercial tourist food at you. A good example of this is Napa Rose (which is Disney's only 5 star restaurant). The price for one meal will start at $100 My family also loves to fly from Kentucky to SoCal to experience a big city and experience the "Hollywood lifestyle" you'll get this at Disneyland. So much to do in the surrounding area that it is frankly ridiculous. Plus every time we have visited Disneyland Resort we always run into some famous person. Hello, it is really close Hollywood! :) Note: Star Wars Land will open at Disneyland nearly a year before DisneyWorld.
You're wrong on a few things 1. not nearly a year, only about three months. DL opens in summer of 2019, WDW is fall. I HIGHLY disagree to the higher clientele. Orlando has world-renowned chefs, and with places like Victoria and Alberts, etc, I wouldn't make the statement that Southern Californians are more refined. I honestly prefer WDW. Idk DL feels cramped and just doesn't connect to me like WDW does. I like how WDW has more themes available (fairytale theme, futuristic, movie set, old west, old southern charm, modern, tropical) (I'm talking about resorts and park themes) and I loveeeee EPCOT a bunch. World Showcase is incredible and I'm missing it as I'm writing this. WDW still has TOT which is a big plus for me, but it also has RnR which is also amazing. The new additions to WDW will bring a lot more to the table in the near future. Also, while Orlando may not be Hollywood, there still is a crazy amount of stuff to do. Medieval Times, there is an upside down museum which I love, glass bottom spring boat rides, Universal, etc. I personally think WDW fits me as a person better, and if you think DL is your fit then awesome! Not everybody agrees and that's fine, however I think some of the statements aren't necessarily fair. Sidenote- another reason why I prefer WDW is EPCOT's festivals (Most specifically Flower and Garden, and Food and Wine)
7:05 - "Disney World is going to have a lot more attractions" This is a common misconception. The two parks in DL have about the same number of attractions as all four parks in WDW. Everyone seems to assume "more land" = "more rides" but that's not necessarily the case. WDW is only ahead if live stage shows are your thing. Unique attractions Disney World: 26 Disneyland: 32 Roller coasters Disney World: 7 Disneyland: 6 Water rides/play areas/boat rides (not including water park attractions) Disney World: 6 Disneyland: 11 Water Parks Disney World: 2 Disneyland: 0 Live stage shows Disney World: 21 Disneyland: 6 Parades/Dance parties Disney World: 4 Disneyland: 3 Fireworks/Nighttime spectaculars Disney World: 4 Disneyland: 4
People just don’t understand basic math the Disneyland resort has more rides and attractions total than WDW. At WDW you get four parks each with 25-40 rides and attractions at Disneyland you get two parks both with 50+ rides and attractions. Disneyland has more unique rides and attractions. The reality is that you wait in line for half the time in Disneyland and you spend five minutes hopping between parks instead of 30 minutes hopping between parks so you get way more done per day which lets you get everything done in shorter timeframe.
No one cares about your stupid chart and world is so much better with better rides, attractions, restaurants, and if your little you can meet all of the princesses not just one or two
I stayed in a hotel called dolphin cove and it was literally a mile away from Disneyland. I get to stay there again but this time I'm going to Universal.
I don’t know if you’ve done this already, but there’s been so so soooo many changes to both parks and how they work in general since this video was made, I’d LOVE to see an updated version of this video. It would be so helpful! 💖
Been to both. Have lived by DW all my life, it’s the original and will always have that certain feel to it although it’s smaller. With that said we’re going to DW in two months and will be the first time for our kids and we can’t wait.
I recently went to Disney world and must say I still love my own Disneyland . I feel like the parks have more thrills and charm but alot of the experience at Walt Disney world was must do and try something's u can't find anywhere else I love them both in there different ways but I must say Disneyland is just my better option
Having been to both, and being a lifelong Disney park goer, Disney World is hands down the winner, and it’s not even close. It’s a completely immersive experience, and it’s enormous. You could spend an entire year there and still not experience everything you wanted to. Hundreds of restaurants, golf courses, lakes, horseback riding, camping, sailing, spas, bowling, sports, fishing, yachting, archery, water parks, 28 resort hotels (yes, 28 of them, and each has their own themed world class restaurants and attractions to enjoy)... and that doesn’t even include the parks and rides. Take the monorail or the Skyliner from your resort to a park, or a boat from your hotel restaurant to a park for a fireworks show. Book a desert service on a Disney yacht while watching the fireworks show after your resort spa treatment. Roast marshmallows over an open fire after horseback riding. Literally anything you and your family can think of, you can do at Disney World. It being so immersive and large, it brings most people to tears, and they never want to leave. It’s like nothing else on this earth. 40 square miles of it. The size of the entire city of San Francisco. Just imagine what kind of adventure you can experience in a place that enormous! It’s the number one vacation destination, and most visited vacation destination, in the world.
I think it would be more fair to compare Disneyland and Magic Kingdom because obviously there's more to do at Disneyworld because it has 4 parks and Disneyland only has two.
Great video! Good job keeping it unbiased. I'm sure you will get lots of comments saying one is better than the other! I love both! Two things though, 1 - with Maxpass you get all your photopass pictures, so that makes it a really good deal in itself. The other thing is in DL the attractions are closer together and it seems the standby lines are shorter. So in DL you can ride 10 - 15 rides a day. In WDW we only can get in 3 to 6.
I’ve done both Disney world and Disneyland at least twice each (I’m from the UK so each are really far away) and I honestly love them both but Disney world is better for my family, as there are no young children and we all don’t mind walking far. I just enjoy having more options for parks, rides, food and resorts. The nostalgia of Disneyland is honestly the only reason why I would ever want to go there again as I just prefer it in Disney world.
bbkangs -- They're not being compared at all. I'm sharing the differences between the two so that people who are trying to decide can figure out which one makes the best sense for them. I love both locations -- both have pros and cons.
Because if you live in California like myself and looking at a good $3000 trip to Florida to see what WDW is all about... then it kinda matters for someone like myself, especially when I hear a lot of people saying WDW was completely not worth flying from the west coast to east coast.
Your video was great! Some people get downright nasty in this invented rivalry. Both resorts are awesome. The people who trash one or the other don't have a sufficient appreciation for Disney parks.
Disney world cause of toy story land and Star Wars galaxys edge and the new tron roller coaster + the castle in world is way better. Disney world also has the world show case and a better splash mountain and better food options like be our guest in the magic kingdom or tusker house buffet in animal kingdom.
I have been to Disneyland but I was only 5. Going to Disney world in a couple months. Would love to try Disneyland again in a few years and compare but either way it will be a dream come true!!
I both parks but Disneyland seems more magical to me especially if you stay on property you never break the emersion. And on thing I’ve noticed is swearing seems to be less in Disneyland that’s only my experience
Sharna J if you think it is "by far" then you haven't been to both recently. In its current state wdw is three full parks at best. Disneyland has a lot more to do in a smaller space.
I think something you need to look at is how many days you have if you only want to do a 1-2day at Disney or are you looking at a longer time at Disney. If you want to just do a day trip Disneyland totally makes sense. I remember when I did Disneyland the fast passes were on paper and given kiosks. Did they get rid of these?
I will always pick Disneyland because of the special magic of know Walt walked the streets you’re walking on. Also, their amazing extra attention to detail. There is just something extra special that WDW doesn’t have.
I've been to Disneyland more than 10 times. And I been very used to going to Disneyland. But Disney World, I'm very impressed. The thing is it's not gonna the same as Disneyland. Not only that, I've never been to Disney World, even if I want to go. I might not gonna get used to it if I visit to Disney World.
@Leah X the first park ever made of disney was Disneyland in california. Thats the reason it's considered the original Disney park. Disneyworld came after Disneyland. Disneyland was first !!!
I love this video!!! It was immensely helpful, especially the part where you said how much more manageable disneyland is. I’ve always wanted to go on a disney trip, but disney world is really intimidating for me with the crowds and the planning😖
I work at Disneyland and visited Disney world recently so the important question is how much time do you have for your trip? Anything longer than 2 days I would say Disney world but anything less than that I would say Disneyland. Disneyland is better for dates whereas disneyworld is more for like big trips with family/friends/partner
Well, I've never been to Disneyland because I live a bit too far, but I have been to WDW a couple times. WDW is a good deal closed to me, so I guess I'll have to choose Disney World. But, I've always really, really wanted to visit Disneyland. Maybe, one day. 😊
Stephanie Shaffett disneyland is smaller but the ride equivalents there are much better while space mountain in wdw is very bumpy while in dL it is much smoother this is true for many other rides such as pirates etc and India jones beats dinosaur so easily so dL has better quality rides but wdw has much much more
@@shreklover124 Same here! I live in SoCal and I went to Disneyland once when I was 3 or 4 years old, once in 2nd grade, and the last time I went was for my 8th grade graduation. I really want to go back, though.
I’ve been to both parks and while I do believe Disney World is better overall. What I do really like about Disneyland is the MUCH shorter rides (you can ride all of the rides in one day without a fast pass) and the Cars movie area is incredible.
My vote for Disneyland! But I also love WDW... it’s just a different type of vacation. I feel so much more relaxed after a few days at DLR vs a week at WDW. But I love that there’s so much more to try and something to surprise me each time at WDW. Disneyland is my home. WDW is my second home. Can’t go wrong!
We love them both! We like Disneyland because it is smaller and can easily fit into a long weekend and we don't have to worry about transportation (AND the Grand Californian has its own entrance to California Adventure!). As you mentioned, we do enjoy the feeling of "walking where Walt walked" in California. Everyone in my family but me loves Indiana Jones, which you can't get in WDW, but I wish there was a restaurant option in the castle at Disneyland as there is in Florida. I agree that WDW has WAY more food options, but one thing I love about the food in Disneyland is that the produce is always super fresh, and I feel like there are more healthy dining options (except, perhaps, at Corn Dog Castle. :D ). On the other hand, for a longer vacation, we prefer WDW. There are better roller coasters (Expedition Everest, Rock n Rollercoaster) and they haven't messed up the Tower of Terror. And, in general, there is just more to do -- not only in the parks but in Disney Springs and at the resorts as well.
Disneyland!!! The rollercoaster and the ferris wheel is iconic!!! Plus when you are waiting in line you arent sweating to death like you would in florida!
Havnt been since I was a kid now as a parent when I start planning on of these and I work out cost for 1 week I end up booking us 2 weeks at a all in one in another country instead 😅 kids have never been to Disney but have helped researchers dig baby sea turtles out of sand ,visited and climbed Mayan ruins,and ate salt fish under a grass roof in the jungle .
If you're going to stay on property in Disneyland, it is MUCH more expensive. Additionally, the multi-day tickets max out at 5 days, so a week on property at Disneyland will be substantially more expensive than a week at Disney World.
Re-riding things, eating more food, atmosphere, etc. People don't exactly bum rush what is for many a "once in a lifetime" vacation. We only get to go every few years and really enjoy being there, so we take time.
You forgot to mention the airfare and depending on the distance you are traveling from to get to each park. I am a season pass holder at Disneyland and live about 30min from the park. But I have been to DisneyWorld 3 times and love it also. I would have to say, I think for the variety, I would have to pick DisneyWorld.
Disney World and it isn't even close. Six Flags is better than Disneyland. DW is a resort, it takes a week to see it all. DL is a day park, no point in staying more than a day.
You were right on World being better then land, but by no way is land worse then Six Flags. 2-3 hour wait times for everything at Six Flags that you cant bypass without spending an extra 200-300$ if you have a party of 4, absolutely terrible food at 90% of the locations you can get food, and TERRIBLE customer service with employees that don't know what they're talking about or absolutely do no want to be there. Land has around 1 hour and 30 minutes wait time maximum, and you don't get to skip the entirety of the line. Much better food as well, and employees that go out of their way to help you. I've been to both and trust me Land is 10x the day park that six flags is.
Disney land is a theme park.
Disney world is an actual city.
I agree
I’m going to Disney world this Christmas
Have a great time
One of the biggest factors is the Disney Bubble you get going to Disney World. It's really immersive. Leave the gates of Disney Land and boom, real world. It's a bit of a trade off because the immersion is nice and often frankly magical, but it's also nice to just be able to walk across the street back to my hotel instead of waiting on an extremely crowded bus at the end of the night.
JokerL1000 lol
Who else is watching this even thought they aren’t going?😂
I enjoy Carowinds in Ft Mill Sc. Please come visit it you won't be disappointed,
Me That shits expensive for what it is
Me. But I will try to go when I’m older
Me!
Yep
I’ve been to both, so here’s my conclusion:
If you have a family with a lot more younger people (3-) then go to Disneyland, because there’s more family rides.
If you have a family with a lot more OLDER people (4+) then go to Disney World, there’s a lot more rollercoasters and such.
Both beautiful parks. Disneyland charming. Disneyworld Spectacular.
@rob andone you rich
rob andone
Is Disneyland about the size of Universal Orlando?
@@Adven4U1 oh no
rob andone It is impossible to hit everything in Disneyland in one day nvm 6 hours.
WDW is not Spectacular. Fantasmic, Parades & The Fireworks are better at Disneyland, and, Small World is more spectacular at DL and so is Indiana Jones Adventure.
Disneyland all the way! I’ve been to both and appreciate Disneyland the most. Disney World is amazing as well, but my heart is at Disneyland.
Mine’s at Disney world.
Mines at Disneyland
Wdw boy fk u mean
Bias opinion, obviously Disney World.
I couldn't help to notice there aren't many videos on Disneyland. The only times you talk about it is their food. It would be great if you made some videos about secret attractions, or best things to do there. Then again I haven't seen all your videos so I could be wrong.
Sarah Ortiz well they are a Disney FOOD blog soooo...
DFB duh..
I was thinking that too.
Oooh you should check out the tim trackers videos on Disneyland
I believe it is because she lives near Disney world and not Disney land. Disney World is what you would call her home park.
I'm from California I live 30min from Disneyland. Anyone who steps in that park feels a welcoming warmth. There are still people working that knew Walt. You can talk to them.
Disneyland is smaller yes but also intimate and grabs ur heart.
Denise Torres i would NEVER want to live near a Disney park. It just ruins the feeling for me... You wouldent stay at the hotel to save some money, and you can go way more often.
Jenna the Gamer I also live 30mins away, and it doesn’t ruin the experience. Just because your close doesn’t mean you go often, I have friends who have never been to Disneyland. Plus you don’t really see any advertising for it, they only have the bill boards and stuff when your about five mins away. plus it’s still expensive, even without the hotel
Moon Pie, i wadnt trying to be mean it was just the fact for ME
Denise Torres Disney world is superior. More attractions, better food, more hotel options, better parades.
Mohamad Mahmoud Disneyland has about the same number of rides and attractions as Disney World. Disneyland also has more unique attractions. But because of significantly closer distances between parks and much closer distances between rides and attractions within the parks and smaller crowds you get way more done per day. Most of the reason Disney World takes at least a week to get everything done and Disneyland only takes a couple days is you spend five minutes hopping between parks and 30 minutes to an hour in line for something that you would have had to spend 30 minutes hopping between parks and two hours waiting in line for at Disney World.
Disney World all the way!!!
No
i totally agree!!!!!
Agreed!
Says "The Rich Life"
Yea because your rich
Disneyland is a land and Disneyworld is a world
Greg mari Firme 😂
Yep!😂
Stolen
*These are only the names of the parks and not an actual world or country* 🤦♂️
LOL
Great comparison, but you are forgetting one important thing....California weather ♥ Our weather is freaking amazing!
Yes! Cali weather is much better, for sure!
But California government is a nightmare :)
lovmnsn Absolutely agree!! We live in Tennessee and we prefer DL!!
I prefer Florida weather just because it’s always sunny and when it does rain most of the time it’s over in like 5 minutes
Eh that’s debatable FL FTW 😆
I've only been to WDW because I live on the east coast. At the end of the day the choice of what's better is subjective, which is why I don't get why people compare the two.
I think the reason is many people cant afford to go more than once, so it really is the trip of a lifetime! They may only be able to go to Disneyland or Disney World, not both, so need all the info in order to decide which is for them :)
Disney Fan it depends on if you live near there. For example, I only live 2 hours away from Disney world. Usually I go around every year to half year if I’m lucky, and I’m very grateful for that. I think it really depends on where you are and it’s a lot cheaper when you already live near it.
that’s funny because i live on the east coast too but ive only ever been to disneyland LOL
I’m comparing because I want to take my daughter so trying to see what’s the best for my money
As a Californian i had no idea the absolute monster size Disney World was! I thought DisneyLand was huge.
I’m sorry but I kinda started cracking up when you said you thought Disneyland was big😂
@@melissafuhr281 when you have nothing else to compare it to, its pretty big.
You gotta go to Disney world your mind will be blown!
@@melissafuhr281 you sound spoiled. I'm from the UK. Have you travelled around the world? Most people around the world have no experience of anything this big. American-sized everything is massive.
Same
In my opinion, Disney world is like a literal WORLD, while Disneyland is an amusement park.
Disney world is HUGE, and even OUTSIDE of the parks, there’s so much to do.
There’s water parks, Disney springs (shopping center), and golf courses.
It’s like the second you drive under the sign that says “Disney World” (if you drive under it) you aren’t in flordia anymore. You’re in disney. There’s like no trace of the real world, you are fully immersed in it, while in disney land, you walk out and the real world is back.
I went to Disneyland as a young kid when I lived n California and I lived walking distance from it. Lately, I've been going to disneyworld and it's a driving distance from us since we live in Georgia so I love them both.
1- Magic Kingdom (most visited theme park on Earth, bigger more beautiful version of DL, best castle fireworks show)
2- Disneyland (most rides packed in one park, amazing nighttime shows, worst castle and worst Tomorrowland)
3- Tokyo Disney Sea (most original, beautifully themed)
4- Disneyland Paris (the most beautiful Disney castle park, elegant, best Tomorrowland, Phantom Manor)
5- Epcot (original, World Showcase is unique and breathtaking, lacks enough rides until revamp is complete)
6- California Adventure (great rides, Cars land, World of Color, worst theming cohesion of any park)
7- Animal Kingdom (original, most elaborate theming of all parks, Flight of Passage is the best Disney attraction in the US)
8- Shanghai Disneyland (huge, most advanced attractions of any Disney park, very unique lands and rides, weather sucks)
9- Hollywood Studios (great rides and Fantasmic, lacks attractions until Star Wars opens)
10- Tokyo Disneyland (blatant copy of Magic Kingdom and DL, with no originality, fun but nothing unique)
11- Walt Disney Studios (only worth visiting for the amazing Ratatouille area, worst park until expansion opens)
Witch one is bigger disney world or magic kindom or is magic kindom inside disney world iv never been in disneys parks before i have no idea
Disneyland DOES NOT HABE THE WORST CASTLE, sure it's small but it's cozy and welcoming especially with all the foliage around it, Walt Disney Worlds looks like a concrete thing in the middle of nowhere (with the old paint job) and Disneylands fantasy land fits so much more well than wdws carnival tents
@@ryankiser294 Sorry but only a Disneyland fan would agree with you. Disneyland castle is the smallest, least impressive, lamest of the castles, and it looks toyish. Literally all of the other castles worldwide are taller and more imposing, with better detail
@@luuchoo93 nah the one at Disneyland is based off if the Neuschwanstein Castle in Bavaria,Germany, you can also walk through it not just a little tunnel like wdw, it's alosbthr castle that WALT himself made
@@ryankiser294 It could be based on any castle you want, but it’s none of those original castles. It’s a minuscule cheap castle you can barely see from the entrance (unlike the other huge castles which are majestic centerpieces). Being the original doesn’t mean you’re the best, and it’s very clear for every Disney park fan around the globe that DL’s castle has become outdated and tiny compared to the new versions. Also, Walt Disney also designed the Cinderella Castle in Orlando, he actually created all of Disney World to start all over and correct all the mistakes he had made in Anaheim
There is another key factor I'd like to point out. WEATHER!
Disneyland is much more reliable on that front. Pretty much year round you're good to go.
Where as Florida can be extremely humid with thunderstorms that can come out of no where. This can close various attractions and keep the unprepared tourist clothes damp all day.
Yo this! I went to both parks during the summer, and the weather at Disney World is unbearable!! The rain comes at unexpected times and it's frustrating when rides had to be closed for a while. It's a struggle to adjust when one is used to a dry climate.
Right light rain and possible thunderstorms are higher in Florida than California around summer. My sister remembers a ride we missed because it just started pouring. Overall been to Walt Disney World twice, but thinking about experiencing Walt Disney Land eventually.
BOTH!!! I live near Disneyland like 5 hours away but it is a classic and I love the atmosphere there but, I did go to Disney world over spring break and I loved the size, atmosphere, rides, parks, and food I can't find to good of food at Disneyland and I am not too picky of a eater.
Which park do u think has better rides
@@zemmilsamad7367 Disney world. Flight of passage is the best ride in the world
I live 5 hours away too!! Do u live in the East Bay Area?
I like how the locals defend their park with a passion, I really respect the home pride, but I live in Texas so I have a more fair opinion as I didn't grow up with either. Disney world is more fun because of all the things you can do in my humble opinion, but occasionally I prefer Disneyland as it feels like everything is closer and you can just move from place to easier. It just depends on what you like really.
Same, I live in Texas. I pick Disney World because it’s closer but it’s expensive
Depends on where you live in Texas as far as which ones closer. We’re pretty much at the half way point between the two parks.
i agree and i feel like disneyland is much easier and you don't have terrible weather to fight threw lol
satisfyingslime1454 Plus as of now, you don’t have to decide what to ride 30-60 days in advance in disneyland
Disneyland lines are shorter and still have days you can walk on rides
DISNEY WORLD all the way
Disneyland!!!!!
Sherry McMahan DISNEY WORLD!!!!!

May I dare to say that choice of "better" is mostly picked by nostalgia! Personally I believe both resorts have a charm of their own! Im from the east coast so my heart immediately goes to Walt Disney World ❤❤❤ the memories of my childhood linger in that park and now my children's memories are being made there as well! My husband worked at WDW! I mean its great! I do agree that it lacks that Disneyland charm but then again there's just something grand about it! Visit both! You wont regret it.
I completely agree with you, many say that Disneyland is more nostalgic but when I was at Disneyland recently I found myself longing to go to WDW because it is where I grew up going.
Yari Valentin that’s exactly why Disneyland is my favorite! It’s the park I’ve always known and nothing could replace its spot in my heart ♥️
Yari Valentin i agree
I'm from California and I went to WDW this part March. My first day I did Magic Kingdom and I immediately wanted to return back to Disneyland in California. I was so disappointed...the other 3 parks were great! MK was awful. Animal Kingdom's two stand out rides were cool. Hollywood Studios was cute. But Epcot was amazing. I loved all the food options there. I still prefer Disneyland resort over WDW.
Love your videos! I did Disneyland before Disney World. I believe both parks are so worth seeing! Such a blast, what draws me more to Disneyland is the history, my love of California and that you can do it in a day! Much more manageable with little ones
I been to Disneyland, Disney world and Shanghai Disneyland. Disney world definitely has a special place in my heart, I even give it a special nickname. To me, all other park are just Disney theme park, but Disney world is a special place, I literally cry every time when the flight land in Orlando!
Hey AJ, I found as a person with a disability that Disneyland was significantly easier for me to visit. I am an above knee amputee, so I am still pretty mobile, however the walking at DL seemed to be easier than WDW. Also it was easier to jet across to each of the parks and “park hop” for our fast passes (we were at DL and finally saw a good time for Radiator Springs Racers and were able to get over to California adventure without having to worry about me and my mobility). Also, when I went to Disney world in December of 2018, I was surprised to find that I needed to set my disability fast pass ability in advance at the service desk. So as a result, I wasn’t able to use it and found myself standing in long lines for things like Soarin at Epcot. In Disneyland, often times I got to either skip the line entirely or get a special fast pass just for people with disabilities where they would give me a return time to come back and ride. I didn’t need to set up anything in advance they just had to see I was disabled. So if I had to give advice to anyone with mobility issues I would vote for Disneyland. But both are great and both are perfectly accessible.

I love how you don’t just do food on your channel. This video is great. I wanted to get your thoughts on ride/attraction maintenance. With costs to go to any Disney theme park at a premium, it’s a bit of a downer when a popular ride is under remodeling or in case of Disney California, a whole area. Thanks and keep the videos coming.
The weather in Florida is generally very comfortable and relatively.dry from November through first of March generally. It can be very nice from, generally, October through March. We always go during those months and almost always like the weather in So Cal.
already did disney world 2 times... wanna do disney land next.
@Saige Mealey They fit about as many rides as DW into 2 parks while DW makes you do 4 and eat more money. For inferior versions of DLs rides.
Both are so GOOD,it is so hard to choose which one is better!
When I went to Disneyland I found that wait times were shorter, I ended up getting way more fast passes during the day, with fast pass I could get the harder to get ride fast passes even in the afternoon because they don’t release the fast passes all right in the morning, and with the Max pass you get unlimited photo pass for however long you have the Max pass.
I prefer Anaheim over Orlando (not just because it’s my homepark) because you don’t have to do as much planning. Fastpass system is amazing.
I am obsessed with you, TPMvids, Olivia Simone, and DISNEY!
I must say u earned a new subscriber. U didn’t ramble on and on. The info was very informative. Thank You!
I love how low stress Disneyland is. I can drive down, stay at a motel across the street for pretty cheap, walk right into either park and pop between them all day with no effort. No tiered fast passes or booking all your fast passes months in advance and then not being able to change them. The whole experience just has a more casual, spontaneous feel. For me, Disneyland also feels cozier than WDW. That could totally be my own nostalgia but I also think that the fact so many locals go to the park regularly gives it a different vibe. I do love WDW as well and I definitely miss things like Epcot when I’m in DL but DL just feels like coming home.
It’s probably just because you are close to it. I’ve never been, but I go to Disney world fairly often- 1 to a half of a year in between each visit. This makes it a relaxing experience since I know a lot of things about the park, and we live only 2 hours away as well. This for me makes Disney world a better park, but again, I’ve never been to Disney land, just seen pictures and videos.
trust me, a lot of loyal locals go to Disney World regularly too lol I go once or twice a week. Sometimes I'll just pop into to grab lunch or ride the Skyliner
I believe in every word you said ❤
I've been to Disneyland, Disneyland Paris, and Disney World and Disney World and Magic Kingdom takes the cake in nearly all categories for me.
Disney World has 3 other parks, 2 water parks, Disney Springs, and so many other little Disney things sprinkled around Central Florida, it's endless Disney! I also disagree with DFB on the food being in favor of Disneyland because she forgot one thing: Epcot! The park literally based around food and with the annual Food and Wine festival. You just can't top it.
Magic Kingdom just feels more grand, more magical. Cinderella's castle is well over two times the size of Disneyland's Sleeping Beauty castle. The night-time shows are just more impressive. More buildings, more food, more shows, just more.
I love them both! But I like Disneyland a bit more just because it's smaller and you can see absolutely evertyhing in 4 days.
I'm an young adult (around 20) but I still want to go
I've got to go to either before I die, I've never been :(
Some day
@@veronicacarbajal1809 yeah it's expensive though, my mum would never able to afford it as a kid since the flights to another country, the Visa, the hotel prices, the park tickets, the food prices, etc I don't care what age I am I'm not going to miss out on going to Disneyland or World, both them are bigger than the town I grew up in and live in, now that's crazy, it's much bigger than just my town, its a lot more, it's a big part of my countries land mass since that's about the size of a city here
I would probably choose Disney world because when in Rome..
@@Xighor where are you from
@@rflsr5276 England, nearest place is Paris but still a flight. The costs of Disney world put me off
And No I don't live near London so there's no Eurotunnel and nearest airport is 50miles and i don't have a car
And honestly I don't want to go Paris it's no longer a nice place to visit so I would choose the one in America since a country i want to visit America anyways
Here's the thing if I was to travel 5000 miles I'll prefer to experience real America
SAMEEE, I've never been to either so watching these videos makes me feel like I'm there
I agree on what you said. Though the fast passes at Disney world making them 60 days if your staying at the Disney hotels or 30 days if not. To me you at a disadvantage for the big rides are almost gone fast. At Disneyland you can’t make it till your in the park makes it fair. Also I like the magic band at Disney World wish they had it at Disneyland
I would like to point out that while yes WDW has more value for its price point for a 4 day hopper; it also is impossible to do everything in WDW in 4 days where as with a 4 day park hopper for Disneyland you can do pretty much everything in 4 days. I have a Annual pass and usually when we go we finish both parks in 2 days with extra time to spare with 2-6 people depending on who is going. We have no small kids so we move faster but the average family with kids with a 4 days should be able to cover everything with extra time to ride your favorite rides again
When we went to WDW we got 5 day park hoppers and only park hopped on the last day from Animal Kingdom to EPCOT where we had reservations for lunch. So, a park hopper was wasted for the other days. The thought of having to get on a transport of some sort to park hop deterred us from doing it. I like that we can just leave Disneyland and walk right across to DCA. For that matter even into Downtown Disney.
I always tell people going for the first time to not get the park hopper. It usually ends up being a large waste of money. Especially if it's your first time, you can make a full day at each park, and the distance between most of the parks is pretty vast and time consuming to travel between. If you do decide to not spend the whole day, take the time to relax, go swimming, go to Disney Springs, etc. I feel like while it's easier to go between the two parks at DL, a park hopper there is also probably something you can just skip and save the money.
I've gone to Disneyland for years growing up. But after visiting Disney World, Disneyland doesn't seem worth my money anymore. It just feels years behind Disney World yet it's almost as expensive
Same
your mistake is comparing one theme park to four.
Babe j Jones 2 not 1.... L
Ani Papazian welcome to the family.
With respect, I don't see the basis for this opinion. Both coasts have really cool new stuff all the time. The only park that's not years behind right now is Shanghai. In the U.S., both resorts have areas that need to be updated but they're building new stuff as we speak. Yes, they're both quite expensive.
Everywhere you turn in Disneyland there a attraction and because of the limited space every ride is amazing.
Though I love Disney World, I'm not good at planning and prefer to be in places within walking distance so Disneyland is the park best suited to me (plus I love the historical significance of Disneyland too).
Actually we are from South Carolina always and we always go to California Disneyland because it was so much better
Oof, nooooo. Im out west, only 6 hours to Disneyland and I'd rather go to Florida and hit Disneyworld
jordan hicks bro same i live in cali and always go to world
I live in southern california. I've been to disneyland several dozen time and been to WDW only once but i'd prefer disneyland since it's the original. A classic never goes out of style.
Jon Snow unless it's Disneyland
That’s like me with Disneyland Paris, I live in England so it’s not too far for me but I’ve only been to WDW once, kinda disappointed with magic kingdom as it was so similar to Disneyland Paris. From what I’ve seen California and Paris and quite similar and original
I thought you're now in the real north.
You know nothing Jon snow.
I've seen maybe 3 episodes of Game of Thrones but I'm sorry about what happened to that dragon girl
When she said coast I was like uuuuhhhhh I live in Texas jajaja
Texas is more like California than Florida imo. People in east Texas consider it part of the South whereas people in West Texas consider it the West. Considering it was once part of Mexico I would say it's west at it core.
Texas is better than Canada lol 😂 just the exchange alone is 30% more on top of everything due to our poor dollar
/Sbarroeta / sameee I live in Texas and I’m going to Disney world for the first time :)
@@breannakotchon9146 where da heck did you get Canada from?
We'll probably do Disneyland once Galaxy's Edge opens there since we're on the West Coast and my hubby loves Star Wars. However, I feel it's going to be a let down considering my favorite Disney park is Animal Kingdom.
I will also say I love the fact that I dont have to pick my FP 2 months in advance. I dont want to be stuck to a time the entire trip. Don’t forget we have paper fast passes too. People don’t HAVE to purchase Max Pass unless yes they want to reserve through their phone. I will rue the day DL ever goes the way of WDW and FP+
I agree. It's so easy going there on a spontaneous trip and still get top notch fast passes. Unlike at wdw... We planned three weeks prior our trip... Mostly got lame ass fast passes. That system is not very fair. While Disneylands system is!
Disneyworld is light years ahead of Disneyland. The biggest criteria are rides and food, which Disneyworld takes in a landslide. The only reason to go to Disneyland is that you've been to Disneyworld too much or that you just want to check out the Indiana Jones ride, GOTG ride or Cars ride.
blackfox1320 or, you know, you care about classics from pre-Disney World times
Disney World is NOT “light years” ahead of Disneyland. Disneyland has a charm Disney World can’t touch. Plus you have cast members that actually care about and take pride in the park. As far as food I just watched a video of some Disney World die hards who visited Disneyland for the first time in years and they were falling all over themselves for the Disneyland food (counter service specifically) and asking why Disney World couldn’t get it figured out how to provide great food like this. True, Disneyland doesn’t have as much “fancy” dining, but kicks Disney World in the pants when it comes to casual dining.
As this video even said, the park food is better in Disneyland than WDW. And the rides in Disneyland that are the same in WDW have been compared in many vloggers' videos who are WDW guests and come to Disneyland for the first time. And they say the versions in Disneyland are better than WDW.
blackfox1320 don’t forget the shitty humidity in Orlando.
I couldn't help but notice your implication that Disney World's employees do not take care of and pride their park. I can tell you 100% that that isn't true. There are people on both ends that don't care, and people who do. It was my brother's birthday, and a janitor stopped y brother, pulled out a birthday pin and proceeded to ask him several questions about what hi favorite characters and villains were, and by then end he created a beautiful button that had all of the characters my brother named to spell out his name. And a side note, I prefer Disney quick service but that's just my preference. :)
I been to Disney world and oh my god it was amazing and beautiful!
This video insinuates there is a lot more overall at Disney World than there is at Disneyland. And when we compare actual resorts this is true. But that doesn’t mean you can’t spend a week or more at Disneyland and be bored. There is just as much to do at Disneyland than there is at Disney World - it’s just that much of that you would have to seek outside of the Disneyland resort itself. And this isn’t a bad thing. Southern California has a lot of high-quality options. If you like theme parks there’s Universal Studios and Knott’s Berry Farm. If you like entertainment or Night life there’s Los Angeles and Hollywood. Fine art museums are easy to find. There’s also golf nearby and miniature golf too. If it’s the beach you like the nearest beach is a 20 minute drive away (comparable to some of the transportation times at Disney World). And winter sports too - when there is no drought - skiing is less than a 2 hour drive away. So don’t think you’ll be bored at Disneyland after a couple days. There really is a lot to do.
Disney world!! Even tho disney land is great. It's just WDW has more of every thing it's just feels bigger and more magical.and just THREE resorts come on WALT DISNEY LAND! In WHICH WDW has at least 35 different resorts they all have a theam that kids love! And four parks not including disney Springs and they have water parks in parks! I mean come on Disney land step up your game!!
If I had two trips handed to me and I had to chose between the two.... I would pick Disneyland all the way!!!!
Weather is a huge deciding factor for me and Florida weather is just miserable compared to CA weather! I love staying at a Disney owned resort in WDW but it’s just not worth it to stay at a Disney owned resort at DL. Also, Disneyland quick service is way better than WDW, but I like WDWs table service food better. Disneyworld ends up being a much more expensive vacation bc you just can’t do WDW in 4 days, but you can’t totally do DL in 4 days! I’ve been to both parks and I can honestly say that I can’t decide which I like better, they are both different but I don’t think one is necessarily better than the other.
Just avoid summer in Orlando. Problem solved.
WDW hotels also include free bus and trolley service to go from hotel to parks or parks to parks, including the monorail. Big feature you left out.
My family and I used to go to Disney World every year until we visited the ICONIC Disneyland. It's true what they say, "Nothing beats an original". Something is so magical about riding on attractions that Walt literally designed. You can even eat at his favorite restaurant. (WOW!) Disneyland feels like a landmark while Disney World seems like a tourist trap. Something unique we learned, although Disney World has 4 different parks and Disneyland has only 2..... There are only 5 rides that are additional to Disneyworld and none of them are truly popular in Orlando (Minus Epcot Globe ride). We talked to someone in corporate and they explained that they ONLY put attractions that REALLY work in Disneyland Resort because of the limited space. So you would get a huge deal here by only having to buy tickets to 2 parks.
As for food, I agree Disneyland Resort food is WAY better. They just cater to a higher clientele (No offense) it is in SoCal and near Los Angeles so they have to "up" the food game in order to compete. Food can somewhat be more costly at Disneyland Resort because the quality. They really concentrate on farm fresh and local ingredients because guest(s) tend to be pickier eaters there; where as Disneyworld tends to throw processed and commercial tourist food at you. A good example of this is Napa Rose (which is Disney's only 5 star restaurant). The price for one meal will start at $100
My family also loves to fly from Kentucky to SoCal to experience a big city and experience the "Hollywood lifestyle" you'll get this at Disneyland. So much to do in the surrounding area that it is frankly ridiculous. Plus every time we have visited Disneyland Resort we always run into some famous person. Hello, it is really close Hollywood! :)
Note: Star Wars Land will open at Disneyland nearly a year before DisneyWorld.
👍
You're wrong on a few things 1. not nearly a year, only about three months. DL opens in summer of 2019, WDW is fall. I HIGHLY disagree to the higher clientele. Orlando has world-renowned chefs, and with places like Victoria and Alberts, etc, I wouldn't make the statement that Southern Californians are more refined. I honestly prefer WDW. Idk DL feels cramped and just doesn't connect to me like WDW does. I like how WDW has more themes available (fairytale theme, futuristic, movie set, old west, old southern charm, modern, tropical) (I'm talking about resorts and park themes) and I loveeeee EPCOT a bunch. World Showcase is incredible and I'm missing it as I'm writing this. WDW still has TOT which is a big plus for me, but it also has RnR which is also amazing. The new additions to WDW will bring a lot more to the table in the near future. Also, while Orlando may not be Hollywood, there still is a crazy amount of stuff to do. Medieval Times, there is an upside down museum which I love, glass bottom spring boat rides, Universal, etc. I personally think WDW fits me as a person better, and if you think DL is your fit then awesome! Not everybody agrees and that's fine, however I think some of the statements aren't necessarily fair.
Sidenote- another reason why I prefer WDW is EPCOT's festivals (Most specifically Flower and Garden, and Food and Wine)
I prefer Disneyland also but it's not in Hollywood it's in Anaheim
Preach!!! 👏🏽
Imma stick with the OG Disneyland
7:05 - "Disney World is going to have a lot more attractions" This is a common misconception. The two parks in DL have about the same number of attractions as all four parks in WDW. Everyone seems to assume "more land" = "more rides" but that's not necessarily the case. WDW is only ahead if live stage shows are your thing.
Unique attractions
Disney World: 26
Disneyland: 32
Roller coasters
Disney World: 7
Disneyland: 6
Water rides/play areas/boat rides (not including water park attractions)
Disney World: 6
Disneyland: 11
Water Parks
Disney World: 2
Disneyland: 0
Live stage shows
Disney World: 21
Disneyland: 6
Parades/Dance parties
Disney World: 4
Disneyland: 3
Fireworks/Nighttime spectaculars
Disney World: 4
Disneyland: 4
ummm..there are 55 rides at the 4 WDW parks
Yeah there is 55 at WDW
um Disney world does have way more
People just don’t understand basic math the Disneyland resort has more rides and attractions total than WDW. At WDW you get four parks each with 25-40 rides and attractions at Disneyland you get two parks both with 50+ rides and attractions. Disneyland has more unique rides and attractions. The reality is that you wait in line for half the time in Disneyland and you spend five minutes hopping between parks instead of 30 minutes hopping between parks so you get way more done per day which lets you get everything done in shorter timeframe.
No one cares about your stupid chart and world is so much better with better rides, attractions, restaurants, and if your little you can meet all of the princesses not just one or two
I stayed in a hotel called dolphin cove and it was literally a mile away from Disneyland. I get to stay there again but this time I'm going to Universal.
Disney World is the best in my opinion :)
At least we don't have gators in California lmao
@@LovelyAlice92 ikr
If you want to spend the hole vacation at the Disney parks go to Florida. Anaheim is close to Newport/Laguna/Huntington/Honda Center and Angeles.
I don’t know if you’ve done this already, but there’s been so so soooo many changes to both parks and how they work in general since this video was made, I’d LOVE to see an updated version of this video. It would be so helpful! 💖
Been to both. Have lived by DW all my life, it’s the original and will always have that certain feel to it although it’s smaller. With that said we’re going to DW in two months and will be the first time for our kids and we can’t wait.
However with DL's Maxpass you also get the photo package which in its self is an incredible value.
I recently went to Disney world and must say I still love my own Disneyland . I feel like the parks have more thrills and charm but alot of the experience at Walt Disney world was must do and try something's u can't find anywhere else I love them both in there different ways but I must say Disneyland is just my better option
Having been to both, and being a lifelong Disney park goer, Disney World is hands down the winner, and it’s not even close. It’s a completely immersive experience, and it’s enormous. You could spend an entire year there and still not experience everything you wanted to. Hundreds of restaurants, golf courses, lakes, horseback riding, camping, sailing, spas, bowling, sports, fishing, yachting, archery, water parks, 28 resort hotels (yes, 28 of them, and each has their own themed world class restaurants and attractions to enjoy)... and that doesn’t even include the parks and rides. Take the monorail or the Skyliner from your resort to a park, or a boat from your hotel restaurant to a park for a fireworks show. Book a desert service on a Disney yacht while watching the fireworks show after your resort spa treatment. Roast marshmallows over an open fire after horseback riding. Literally anything you and your family can think of, you can do at Disney World. It being so immersive and large, it brings most people to tears, and they never want to leave. It’s like nothing else on this earth. 40 square miles of it. The size of the entire city of San Francisco. Just imagine what kind of adventure you can experience in a place that enormous! It’s the number one vacation destination, and most visited vacation destination, in the world.
I think it would be more fair to compare Disneyland and Magic Kingdom because obviously there's more to do at Disneyworld because it has 4 parks and Disneyland only has two.
Great video! Good job keeping it unbiased. I'm sure you will get lots of comments saying one is better than the other! I love both! Two things though, 1 - with Maxpass you get all your photopass pictures, so that makes it a really good deal in itself. The other thing is in DL the attractions are closer together and it seems the standby lines are shorter. So in DL you can ride 10 - 15 rides a day. In WDW we only can get in 3 to 6.
Aletha -- This are great points!! Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
I’ve seen many videos of the actors and rides and interactions between people is better at Disneyland. And I’ve been to both
Im sorry guys but WDW is so much better.. :/ no contest
Actually Disneyland is better no contest lol
Yea, there is contest. Weather at dlr is much better then suffering in heat. Disneyland resort has original rides and bigger parks
VetMed agreed
Adam Ferry no way.
samaiya ungacta shut up about the weather. The weather is not what we are comparing. We are comparing the two locations.
I’ve done both Disney world and Disneyland at least twice each (I’m from the UK so each are really far away) and I honestly love them both but Disney world is better for my family, as there are no young children and we all don’t mind walking far. I just enjoy having more options for parks, rides, food and resorts. The nostalgia of Disneyland is honestly the only reason why I would ever want to go there again as I just prefer it in Disney world.
Why do they have to be compared? Why not just enjoy them both for what they have to offer?
bbkangs -- They're not being compared at all. I'm sharing the differences between the two so that people who are trying to decide can figure out which one makes the best sense for them. I love both locations -- both have pros and cons.
DFBGuide yes I know. I’m just letting others know because there seems to be a lot of “my park is better” type comments
Because if you live in California like myself and looking at a good $3000 trip to Florida to see what WDW is all about... then it kinda matters for someone like myself, especially when I hear a lot of people saying WDW was completely not worth flying from the west coast to east coast.
bbkangs exactly, I felt a biased towards WDW and I like DLR because it’s a classic
Your video was great! Some people get downright nasty in this invented rivalry. Both resorts are awesome. The people who trash one or the other don't have a sufficient appreciation for Disney parks.
I love your channel but and we're going to Disney World in the summer
Disney world cause of toy story land and Star Wars galaxys edge and the new tron roller coaster + the castle in world is way better. Disney world also has the world show case and a better splash mountain and better food options like be our guest in the magic kingdom or tusker house buffet in animal kingdom.
Hot Dog Disneyland has galaxys edge as well and has cars land which is superior to toy story land no contest.
Pixar Pier?
Disney Land is getting a star wars land I'm pretty sure
Land is superior
The tron rollercoaster is actually in Shanghai
I have been to Disneyland but I was only 5. Going to Disney world in a couple months. Would love to try Disneyland again in a few years and compare but either way it will be a dream come true!!
who else is watching even though they arent going
Copying comments much?
I both parks but Disneyland seems more magical to me especially if you stay on property you never break the emersion. And on thing I’ve noticed is swearing seems to be less in Disneyland that’s only my experience
Disney world is the best by far 😁💜
Sharna J if you think it is "by far" then you haven't been to both recently. In its current state wdw is three full parks at best. Disneyland has a lot more to do in a smaller space.
DL has its charms. a must do i think
robhimself79 that’s your opinion I get what you mean but I’m MY opinion wdw is the best by far for ME
Gonnaebe teninarow it really is 😁
My Westies TV yea there both good parks
I think something you need to look at is how many days you have if you only want to do a 1-2day at Disney or are you looking at a longer time at Disney. If you want to just do a day trip Disneyland totally makes sense. I remember when I did Disneyland the fast passes were on paper and given kiosks. Did they get rid of these?
I will always pick Disneyland because of the special magic of know Walt walked the streets you’re walking on. Also, their amazing extra attention to detail. There is just something extra special that WDW doesn’t have.
I've been to Disneyland more than 10 times. And I been very used to going to Disneyland. But Disney World, I'm very impressed. The thing is it's not gonna the same as Disneyland. Not only that, I've never been to Disney World, even if I want to go. I might not gonna get used to it if I visit to Disney World.
DISNEYLAND THE ORIGINAL PARK. LOVE IT!! 😍❤
@Leah X the first park ever made of disney was Disneyland in california. Thats the reason it's considered the original Disney park. Disneyworld came after Disneyland. Disneyland was first !!!
Coco Pebbles I lik4 Disney world better cuz it the Castle in Disney world is better looking
Hey the only reason why world is there is because land was too small!!! I read a book about it anyway WORLD IS BETTER
My heart goes to Disneyland since I'm a CA native. Disneyworld seems very overwhelming and by far I'd end up spending more money in FL
I love this video!!! It was immensely helpful, especially the part where you said how much more manageable disneyland is. I’ve always wanted to go on a disney trip, but disney world is really intimidating for me with the crowds and the planning😖
It’s really fun and I don’t easily get interested into things
I work at Disneyland and visited Disney world recently so the important question is how much time do you have for your trip? Anything longer than 2 days I would say Disney world but anything less than that I would say Disneyland. Disneyland is better for dates whereas disneyworld is more for like big trips with family/friends/partner
Good points, Jonathan!
Well, I've never been to Disneyland because I live a bit too far, but I have been to WDW a couple times. WDW is a good deal closed to me, so I guess I'll have to choose Disney World. But, I've always really, really wanted to visit Disneyland. Maybe, one day. 😊
Stephanie Shaffett disneyland is smaller but the ride equivalents there are much better while space mountain in wdw is very bumpy while in dL it is much smoother this is true for many other rides such as pirates etc and India jones beats dinosaur so easily so dL has better quality rides but wdw has much much more
It does sound really fun there. :)
I’ve been to both and you get a better disney experience at Disneyland maybe because that was the original by Walt Disney him self.
@@shreklover124 Same here! I live in SoCal and I went to Disneyland once when I was 3 or 4 years old, once in 2nd grade, and the last time I went was for my 8th grade graduation. I really want to go back, though.
10 minute roller coaster... wow! What ride last 10 minutes 🤤🤔
Gweniver boo rise of the resistance
The WEATHER! We live in the South so we absolutely love Disneyland's weather!
I’ve been to both parks and while I do believe Disney World is better overall. What I do really like about Disneyland is the MUCH shorter rides (you can ride all of the rides in one day without a fast pass) and the Cars movie area is incredible.
My vote for Disneyland! But I also love WDW... it’s just a different type of vacation. I feel so much more relaxed after a few days at DLR vs a week at WDW. But I love that there’s so much more to try and something to surprise me each time at WDW.
Disneyland is my home. WDW is my second home. Can’t go wrong!
Anybody else realize when she said space mountain it showed pirates
Good video. I think the primary difference is WDW requires significant pre-planning where WDL does not. Cant go wrong with either though.
We love them both! We like Disneyland because it is smaller and can easily fit into a long weekend and we don't have to worry about transportation (AND the Grand Californian has its own entrance to California Adventure!). As you mentioned, we do enjoy the feeling of "walking where Walt walked" in California. Everyone in my family but me loves Indiana Jones, which you can't get in WDW, but I wish there was a restaurant option in the castle at Disneyland as there is in Florida. I agree that WDW has WAY more food options, but one thing I love about the food in Disneyland is that the produce is always super fresh, and I feel like there are more healthy dining options (except, perhaps, at Corn Dog Castle. :D ). On the other hand, for a longer vacation, we prefer WDW. There are better roller coasters (Expedition Everest, Rock n Rollercoaster) and they haven't messed up the Tower of Terror. And, in general, there is just more to do -- not only in the parks but in Disney Springs and at the resorts as well.
Disneyland!!! The rollercoaster and the ferris wheel is iconic!!! Plus when you are waiting in line you arent sweating to death like you would in florida!
Havnt been since I was a kid now as a parent when I start planning on of these and I work out cost for 1 week I end up booking us 2 weeks at a all in one in another country instead 😅 kids have never been to Disney but have helped researchers dig baby sea turtles out of sand ,visited and climbed Mayan ruins,and ate salt fish under a grass roof in the jungle .
If you're going to stay on property in Disneyland, it is MUCH more expensive. Additionally, the multi-day tickets max out at 5 days, so a week on property at Disneyland will be substantially more expensive than a week at Disney World.
No reason to spend 5 days there, you can hit everything within two days easily.
Re-riding things, eating more food, atmosphere, etc. People don't exactly bum rush what is for many a "once in a lifetime" vacation. We only get to go every few years and really enjoy being there, so we take time.
fair point
You forgot to mention the airfare and depending on the distance you are traveling from to get to each park. I am a season pass holder at Disneyland and live about 30min from the park. But I have been to DisneyWorld 3 times and love it also. I would have to say, I think for the variety, I would have to pick DisneyWorld.
Disney World and it isn't even close. Six Flags is better than Disneyland. DW is a resort, it takes a week to see it all. DL is a day park, no point in staying more than a day.
You were right on World being better then land, but by no way is land worse then Six Flags. 2-3 hour wait times for everything at Six Flags that you cant bypass without spending an extra 200-300$ if you have a party of 4, absolutely terrible food at 90% of the locations you can get food, and TERRIBLE customer service with employees that don't know what they're talking about or absolutely do no want to be there. Land has around 1 hour and 30 minutes wait time maximum, and you don't get to skip the entirety of the line. Much better food as well, and employees that go out of their way to help you. I've been to both and trust me Land is 10x the day park that six flags is.
You did help. Thank you
