Disneyland vs WDW

David says:

Disneyland is better and it's not even close. When it comes to this debate, the only thing WDW fanatics have to say is that Disney World is bigger. So what? Bigger doesn't mean better, and there is no better example than this to illustrate that. Disneyland is where the true magic is. It has a feeling that you just don't get at Disney World. It's also where the history is because it is the original Disney park that Walt himself built. He dreamt it, walked in it, and even lived in it. Everywhere you go you can see and feel Walt's personal touch in everything......something you don't get at the other resort in Orlando. Disneyland is also where the charm is. Sure it is smaller, but it's also more tourist-friendly, and easier to get around. Who wants to take buses, trams, and boats just to get to another area of the resort? No thanks. WDW fans claim that their resort is more of a vacation destiny. I admit the scope is impressive, but it's also bloated. I don't need all the extra stuff. All I need is the spirit of Disney done the right way, and in that aspect Disneyland blows WDW out of the water. I could also mention the many ride versions that are better at Disneyland (especially Pirates of the Caribbean) than its WDW counterparts. But there are too many to go into detail. I could also mention other ways in general where Disneyland has WDW beat, but I don't have time to write a novel. WDW is a cool place, but it just isn't Disneyland....case closed.
