Just another completely unscientific survey. There are frequently threads about whether attractions and Disneyland should come to WDW, or vice versa. Some think Disney attractions should stay unique to each coast so they stay fresh and a draw to that park; others say importing attractions might make them more available to guests who might not be able to experience them.
My question is, have you been both parks, or just one and not the other? If you haven't been to both, do you plan eventually to visit the park you haven't seen yet?
Just for fun!
P.S. Didn't actually post poll questions so just give your answers below! :mickey:
Many visits over 35+ years!
DVC member since 2004 (SSR)
Stayed at: Bay Lake Tower, Polynesian, Contemporary, Wilderness Lodge, Boardwalk, Beach Club, Dolphin, PO Riverside, AS Sports, AS Movies, Saratoga, Vero Beach, Hilton Head, Aulani, Disneyland Hotel, and Grand Californian.
Been to both, many times each. I've also been to Tokyo and Hong Kong, with plans to go to Paris in the near future.
We love to travel. I'm all about sharing technology (for instance, the trackless ride system from Pooh in Tokyo/Mystic Manor in HK), but all about making the experience unique park to park. I know what can be done, so it kills me when Disney doesn't/won't spend all that newfound Magic Band money on cool new experiences.
I've been to both but its been a long time ago since I've been to Disneyland. My parents use to visit family in Cali and we would go to Disney and Knott's berry farm. I would vote for sharing between the Disney parks because we don't get to any of the others very often, just WDW. If DL has something better, I'm all for getting it a WDW.
16 trips to "The World"
Last trip - April 2018 - Polynesian
Next trip to WDW - December 2018 - Beach club
"Disneyworld will never be complete. It will continue to grow as long as there's imagination left in the world."
Three trips to DL, and eleven to WDW. When DL is crowded you notice the size difference of the parks much more. I was getting tired of the bumping and weaving that you end up doing all day in getting around the park. "Excuse me,sorry," were my key words of the day!

Same here....
We used to live in CA. My DD grew up at Disneyland. Started her at 3 months and then not until 15 mos on a steady basis as an AP ( for me).
Now we live in Florida and WDW is now our home parks.
I love WDW, but miss Disneyland so much.

Many visits. Live 20 minutes from the parks.
Work at Universal Studios in Diagon Alley. Ollivanders/ wand magic.
DL 1969, and 2006 WDW yearly
I agree with Melanie, I wish they would share some of ride technology. Even from park to park the "same" ride varies some. DD loved comparing DL to WDW rides after our 2006 trip and I found it surreal how small DL was compared to my memories as a 6 year old.

Been to both and enjoy both. They are,in many ways, quite different but also have a number of similarities. Looking forward to our next Disneyland visit!!

I have been to Disneyland, and Walt Disney World.
Hopefully someday I will get to go to Disneyland Paris. but as a cancer survivor I would never go to Tokyo Disney. The Fukushima disaster and
the after effects of it seem never ending.
It would be awesome to see them bring some of those attractions to the US though.

Disneyland once in 1976; many times to Walt Disney World. Hope to go to Tokyo Disney someday. Have Adventures by Disney trip to Africa planned.

Been to both.
WDW is my home though. I love the immersion of staying on-site and being completely out of the 'real' world.
I do have to say that I love the Jack overlay on the HM in DL in the Fall. :thumbsup:
