First off, you can't compare DL and WDW, you must compare DL with MK. Both are fantastic, but Disneyland is better. Yes, MK is laid out better, but it should be... it was built second. DL has the better rides while MK has the better queues. MK doesn't even have Fantasmic, (Since someone mentioned it, while DHS does have a great theater of it's own.... Fantasmic IS HORRIBLE comparatively speaking). DL has the Matterhorn, Nemo Subs, IASW's beautiful facade, and a real intimate feel (which can translate as crowded). Plus, it had Walt. MK has CBJ,TTA, and Philharmagic... close, but DL wins. And while it's spread out more, MK still feels crowded! And MK never had Walt.
PS- My wife and I have Monte Cristo's and Clam Chowder in a Bread bowl everytime we go to DL! It's awesome. :o)

I have to say both, Disneyland for all the great details, Disney World for the great resorts and large parks. As a Annual Pass Holder to Disneyland I am hooked as we go 4-6 time a year. And as a Disney Vacation Club Holder going to the Animal Kingdom Resort has me hooked as well.

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.

I love the original. It has so much more Disney history. Walt was personally involved in its building, design, look, feel and everything else. I like my theme parks designed by a dreamer not a committee!

Can't really compare the two, since I've only been to Walt Disney World, but it was a GOOD time -- my boys were 5 and 3 and still have some recollections of one of the plays we went to. I have memories of them dressed in their new Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck tshirts. Good times! (They're grown now.)

Walt Disney World. No contest!
The castle at DL is laughable. It's short and squat and not impressive at all. DW's is amazing. The layout of DL isn't as good as DW. It has too many dead ends, not enough ways to get to where you want to go. Since people live close to DL they can come after work and school so nights are crazy crowded. We felt like sardines. Fantasmic doesn't have it's own stadium at DL like it does in DW. There are only 2 parks and 3 Disney themed hotels at DL. Many more choices at DW.
I think Walt would agree that the new park improved his wonderful vision of what a theme park experience could be. :)
