Destination Disney: Orlando or California?

Comparing the two Disney destinations is like comparing the East Coast from the West Coast.  But zooming in, other than their location, there are differences that could distinguish the two attractions as unique and separate entity.

The battle in size between the theme park giants is won by Disney World in Orlando.  Disney World encompasses over 30,000 acres of land, mostly undeveloped.  As the number of visitors in the Orlando theme park increases, the introduction of new recreational parks is accelerated.

 

Disneyland in California started with an area of 160 acres expanding to its present size of 300 acres.  Sadly, the theme park sits in the middle of a developed area with no space to expand on.

TheDespite its small land area, Disneyland still boasts a number of attractions unique in the Golden State. The World of Color is a modern addition in Disneyland that features a nighttime show with multiple marvelous fountains displaying colorful lights, fire and smoke show, and special projections.

 

If you are a fan of the film series Indiana Jones, you’ll prefer to go to Disneyland. The dark ride attraction originally made for the California theme park has now its replica in Tokyo DisneySea’s Temple of Crystal Skull. Other attractions in Disneyland include The Matterhorn and Alice in Wonderland.

 

Disneyworld houses four giant theme parks. Animal Kingdom Park holds about 250 species of animals originating from different continents contained in seven park sections. Magic Kingdom Park is Walt Disney’s very first theme park and contains six themed areas focusing on Disney classics. Similarly, the theme park Epcot is divided in sections presenting space and exotic themes. Hollywood Studios comes in last but also offers equally entertaining stage shows featuring renowned movies.

 

The value of each attraction depends only on the preference of the visitor. To sum it up, the decision is still on your hands to pick which of the Disney destinations can provide the more meaningful vacation.
