How Much Is There To Do....Really?

I have been to both and love Walt Disney World because of the space. I love wandering around the expanse of EPCOT, the trails of Animal Kingdom, and the tributes to Walt at DHS.

I know this is not empirical data based on counting rides, but I love how there is so much space to experience at the World.

Lastly, I would feel wrong by not completing my post by saying that both places are magic!!

My last time at Disneyland was in 1973 (I was 9). I still remember Pirates being incredible (much better than WDW) and my grandmother taking a nerve pill after getting off of the Matterhorn, lol. Yes, it may well be time to go back...

That is too funny. The last time I was there, I was 10 years old in 1981. My mom and I chickened out just as we started to load!
I loved Pirates at DL too. Now I'm wondering if I remember right in thinking that the drop is bigger in DL than WDW for pirates. But it may have been because I was a child too.
I loved how the attraction went through the then Blue Bayou restaurant though!

Love this. And I too love wondering around. I go often just to grab a drink and take in the sounds, sights, smells. It's a great place to escape on my own and just get away from reality!

Pirates at DL had two drops, both larger than WDWs.

And, it still goes by the Blue Bayou restaurant!

Spent a lot of time in DL as my parents moved to California in 1986. Very different feel in DL vs WDW.

DL caters more on local/repeat customers, as opposed to WDW which caters to one time visitors. And DL is the flagship park. We always found the MK in DL a cut above .....
