They both have their positive and negatives. Honestly there is more to do in world vs land. But land is soo much more relaxing. I’ve been to both and love them equally.
If you one on one compare Disneyland to Magic Kingdom, Disneyland wins hands down. The additional parks like Epcot and Animal Kingdom are a large part of the appeal of Disney World.
We saw Fry Bucket today in tomorrowland today! We tried to catch up, but she was WAY tooooooooo fast with that Fry speed! It is our 15 year anniversary and you guys are on our "fry bucket" list to get a pic with right up there with Mickey! Lol hope we get another chance to catch up with one of the all ears crew this week! Keep up the awesome work guys!
i live in LA so i'm a huge fan of Disneyland,but i want to go to Disney World seems fun and it's on my travel bucket list lol. Love the Allearsnet content 😊❤
Love both parks but find Disneyland more magical. The characters are way more interactive, the food is better, it is more manageable and relaxing . Most of the classic attractions are superior. I do love certain aspects of Disney world and grew up going there but I feel the overall quality even though smaller is better at Disneyland.
I LOVE Disney World because I am Originally from Orlando FL and grew up with it. But I would pick Disneyland over the two any day! Why? You dont SWET TO DEATH! I just HATE humidity and thats why I left FL 20 years ago
I love both WDW and DLR for different reasons. Honestly, it’s hard to compare as WDW has AK and the Skyliner. One major difference for us is the Candlelight Procession. Although DLR has it only on the first weekend in December, its intimate presentation makes it more touching and memorable to kickoff the Holiday season.
I think Disneyland can't compete as a resort, but Magic Kingdom can't compete as a park compared to Disneyland. Either way, It's good to see All Ears doing some more California content. Love it!
Conversely, Emma was being polite by not naming WDW Jungle Cruise the clear winner. I mean, she gave it the edge, but it's easily the winner. They have the whole added cave scene, PLUS they still do Jingle Cruise during the holidays. If Disneyland HM wins because of NBC, WDW Jungle wins because of Jingle. I agree though, Disneyland HM should win by virtue of the elevator alone.
Thanks for doing this! People don't realize that Disneyland Resort is better when it comes to rides. And that's not to mentioned DLR has better weather, pricing and is more convenient to get around.
Awesome video! Thanks - you are so knowledgeable. For me - Disneyland has almost as many attractions in a much more accessible layout. I found it so hard to get around Disney World. We get on more rides at Disneyland. Also - Anaheim is so close to the beach (Newport beach is awesome) and there is a water park nearby - and tons of fine dining an Uber ride away so if you look at geographic area offerings - Disneyland wins (in my book). Plus the weather is better at Disneyland. Summer is hot but not humid and we get less rain. Tons of walkable hotels right outside the park - and grand Californian is directly connected - that’s huge for us. Universal is so much better in Florida though - so for folks who want to do both - definitely Florida wins.
I enjoy Disney World a lot! I have to admit, there are things there that Disneyland doesn't deliver... But all in all, I feel they don't need to. Disneyland has my heart. It's home. I know it like the back of my hand. And maybe that's what makes it so special to me.
Of course I am the go to person for Disney planning in my world .. and when people ask should I go to Anaheim or Orlando… I always always tell newbies go to Anaheim … unless you specifically want to see animal kingdom (extreme animal lover or avatar fan) or Epcot Disneyland resort is soooo much more user friendly than WDW… Disneyland is superior to magic kingdom it is smaller and easier to navigate… but for people who have never been to either I tell them to start at Disneyland WDW is a beast and DL will suffice for a novice
I always thought Disneyland felt more magical because I grew up in the west coast and went there as a child. But my friend grew up in Florida and thinks Disney world is more magical. I really felt tthe magic was missing in DW. Is it just where you went as a child?
I also grew up going to DL but now live on the East Coast so frequent WDW these days. DL has better rides but WDW just feels nicer overall. I think DL is more about min/maxing rides and WDW is more about the resort, leisure, stopping and smelling the flowers. I always feel like I’m truly on vacation at WDW. DL feels so much more crowded and chaotic. With that said I don’t prefer one over the other. They both are great and both have their downsides.
Depends how much time you have. For a week long vacation, DW for sure. Yes the parks are more spread out but it feels like a resort vacation. DL is definitely more quaint and is special because Walt built it and walked there but it’s smack dab in the middle of LA. It’s surrounded by traffic and concrete. It doesn’t feel like quite the escape DW does in my opinion.
For me, Disneyland. People love saying that Disneyland is a weekend resort but at least you’re in Southern California. Literally, go do something outside of Disney property: see a broadway musical, go tour the Disney Studios (or other studio lots), eat at the Tam O’Shanter, see the Griffith Park merry go round, see Walt Disney’s first and second house, eat at Clifton’s to see what inspired Critter Country/Country Bear Jamboree, etc. Literally, the entire region is steeped in Disney history! Don’t get me wrong, I love WDW for my weeklong vacation as well. But I’d happily do that vacation once a year at most. However, if I could be a local to either resort, hands down it would be Disneyland. It always feels like a quaint, small town where everyone knows your name. I go to Disneyland and it feels like it’s “mine” and it’s so personal. WDW, I definitely feel like a visitor at a place made for the masses. Not necessarily a bad thing, especially when you’re there for the grandeur, but still a bit impersonal.
I go to disneyland a lot and I took my first trip to Disneyworld. I got a 3 day, First Day Epcot, Second day Magic Kingdom & Third day Disney Hollywood. It was fun with a few different rides but yes very complicated. Overall I prefer Disneyland maybe I'm biased but i prefer it here.
I've been going to Disney world since i was a Baby in the 80s. When MK and EPCOT were open. I was there for DHS and AK Openings. I Loved DISNEYLAND when I visited in 1997 & 1998. California adventure was Being BUILT so i have to go back and Experience that park: particularly for AVENGERS CAMPUS.
If you're looking for a week long vacation, WDW is the winner because there's just a lot more to do. Disney Springs and hotel resort hopping are perfect ways to spend rest days. At DLR, you can explore the hotels and DTD in like 2 hours. If you're looking for a weekend getaway, Disneyland wins. If you're comparing one park to one park (and not resort to resort), the OG Disneyland wins hands down. At the end of the day, I appreciate that as Disney fans, we have two choices in where we want to go domestically if we want a Disney vacation. Also, really glad to see you guys got to see Magic Happens, just wish we got a review. I absolutely LOVE that parade so I'm interested to hear your thoughts on it.
Apples and oranges. They are two very different experiences. Both great.Been to both. WDW wins for me because of the more affordable on property lodging, variety of cultural experiences, plethora of attractions, variety of live entertainment, fireworks, and variety of activities, e.g., waterparks, Disney Springs, watercraft, horse back riding, archery, fishing, arts and crafts, etc. if you want a 3 day vacay and dont mind giving up early entry because of the price of resorts, go to DL/ DCA. But if you want to stay in the magic and have a longer vacay at the parks with more variety of stuff to do, WDW all the way.
As a first timer for disneyland, is it better to do 2 or 3 days? I have been to disneyland paris but want to visit disney california and wdw in 1 vacation
I'd say 3 days is the better choice for a trip to Disneyland! 2 days is also manageable with Lightning Lane, but there's simply so much to see even if it's packed into a smaller footprint. I'm pretty sure that Disneyland & Disney World have around the same number of rides with the difference being that world has them spread between 4 parks while land's are only spread between 2.
I visited Disneyland one time back in something like 1970, when I was 9. I started visiting DisneyWorld in 1971 when they opened MK and have over 100 visits to WDW. My parents lived about an hour away, my oldest brother was an employee for a summer, and my youngest brother still lives close by. I prefer WDW because I have a lot of memories there.
For me its simple if you are a florida resident, Disneyworld is far better because of size, variety, themes. If you are a california resident, Disneyland is far better. If you are neither, if you want a 2-3 day vacation, Disneyland wins, if you want a 4-10 day vacation, Disney World is far the better choice not even close. Pretty simple to me, been to DL, DW, HKDL, DLP, been to TokyoDisney and Disney Sea. The same applies to those as well. 4-10 days? Make the trip to Orlando, plus you can do Universal and Seaworld. Only have 1-3 days? Go to Tokyo Disney/Sea, DLP, HK disneyland is a pass for me, but Hk is amazing. None of them can beat DW for Annual Passability/ multi day vacation. Animal Kingdom alone makes me recommend it, but epcot and Hollywood knock it out of the park, Magic Kingdom is probably the mehest of all the similar parks.
I definitely prefer Disneyland to Magic Kingdom. It’s not even a competition for me. But I’m absolutely in love with Animal Kingdom. I’d love to trade DCA for DAK. 😂
Carousel of Progress “a clear winner” for WDW? That’s like saying, “Disneyland is a clear winner for Matterhorn Bobsleds because WDW didn’t even try.” Also, Swiss Family Robinson Treehouse preceded the Tarzan treehouse at Disneyland. So really, they’re just going back to its original theming. As for food, that “higher ceiling” for food at WDW simply isn’t true just because there are more food establishments. The base food at Disneyland is better because the executive chefs are better. Regardless of how many options you have, if you don’t attract the talent to create better food, opening up hundreds more restaurants doesn’t make the food any better. LA attracts amazingly talented chefs and to disregard all of the amazing restaurants in Southern California is unfair. Since a trip to Disneyland usually means you’re more connected to the outside community vs. being in a bubble at WDW where most guests will find it inconvenient to venture outside of Disney property.
I’ve been to both and I agree Disneyland Space Mountain and Small World are better than WDW. I will say the like attractions in Disneyland felt shorter in length than WDW. I still prefer WDW, but now that they have Mickey’s Toontown I’m not sure lol
I won’t even go on space mountain in WDW because you’re sitting higher and it’s not as comfortable as Disneylands side by side and lower in the seat. Why has no one else noticed the padding on the Matterhorn seats. Yes it’s thin but it makes the difference of not riding it or not. I really checked it out and although it’s nothing like the old gymnastic mat padding like the jungle boat ride also (now gone) had it doesn’t break my butt like two years ago with nothing.
I'm not sure you can compare them. I live in Georgia so WDW in Fl. is sort of my home resort. It's a 7 hour drive so I can pop down often. To get to DL, it takes more money and planning for me. I have to find a flight, a hotel and also plan other things to do in the area since it would seem silly to me to fly all the way to the opposite coast and only spend 2 or 3 days in DL. I'm told I've been to DL, but I don't remember. I was born in Cucamonga (before it was Rancho) and we lived in Pasadena so evidently we went often. We moved when I was 3 so I don't remember. I've not been back since but it is on my bucket list.
It's honestly not hard to find things to do in Southern California. When I plan a trip to Florida, I have the opposite problem. There's a bunch of stuff I want to see but Disney World eats up so many vacation days (to do it properly, anyway) that I have to pick and choose. Both locations have their plusses and minuses. Just a matter of perspective, I guess.
I've been to WDW more than DL mainly cause I live in New Orleans!!! It's a 10hr drive or a 90 min flight compared to California where there are hardly any NON STOP flights. I also prefer the Hotels at WDW.
Incredicoaster is similar to the Rock 'n' Roller Coaster. It has the fast start & inversions. Also PhilharMagic is better at Magic Kingdom b.c the theater is way better.
I'm allergic to humidity. Disneyland wins. Also, the best time to go to Disneyland is the winter bc Ca winter is literally just the beginning of Summer. Good weather. Lastly, I recommend going first 2 weeks of December. Why? Because it's btwn two major holiday school breaks. Kids are in school and it's btwn two school breaks so they won't break during that time. Go to DIsney with bearable traffic and crowd. You're welcome.
I appreciate the comparisons of both parks... yes, they're both magical and fun, it's like picking your favorite child! Hehe. Worth noting and personal opinion here... WDW caters to longer vacations while Disneyland is like a weekend trip. And I know AllEars has a disdain for water rides... but how could you leave off the obvious winner - Disneyland's Grizzly River Run is FAR, FAR, FAR better than WDW's Kali River Rapids. I'm a water ride fanatic - so I needed to point that out. Much respect. ;)
Although I have been going to Disneyland since I was a kid, my family and I have visited WDW at least 10 to 15 times for over the past two decades. Honestly? Both are great. There are some things about Disneyland that are better than WDW. And there are some things about WDW that are better. However, I think both resorts are in danger of being overshadowed by other Disney parks, especially the ones in Tokyo.
If you’re comparing Magic Kingdom and Hollywood Studios to DL and DCA, then i get how DL/DCA might win. But Disney World has EPCOT and. Animal Kingdom with Pandora and Flight of Passage and Cosmic Rewind and all the festivals at EPCOT and cultural experiences. WDW also has two water Parks and Disney Springs. Way more affordable on site hotels!!. The Boardwalk. The Skyliner. A camp ground and cabins. Tons of on -site entertainment and shopping. If having a simpler vacay is what you want, go west! But if you're trying to please multiple ages of kids and adults, and want many more choices for on property- lodging, restaurants, , rides, activities, shopping and entertainment , Go east.
They both have their positive and negatives. Honestly there is more to do in world vs land. But land is soo much more relaxing. I’ve been to both and love them equally.
You can just rent an ecv
If you one on one compare Disneyland to Magic Kingdom, Disneyland wins hands down. The additional parks like Epcot and Animal Kingdom are a large part of the appeal of Disney World.
Animal Kingdom is my all time favorite.
Question?? If everything is better in Disneyland, could it be that WDW is way too big?? I'm thinking that is correct. Sometimes less is better.
I disagree about the Haunted Mansion. DL has holiday overlays and should win on that.
We saw Fry Bucket today in tomorrowland today! We tried to catch up, but she was WAY tooooooooo fast with that Fry speed! It is our 15 year anniversary and you guys are on our "fry bucket" list to get a pic with right up there with Mickey!

Crazy they didn’t even mention flight of passage.
ASTRO Orbiter used to be on top of the people mover, too, before the new Tomorrowland
Love both parks but find Disneyland more magical. The characters are way more interactive, the food is better, it is more manageable and relaxing . Most of the classic attractions are superior. I do love certain aspects of Disney world and grew up going there but I feel the overall quality even though smaller is better at Disneyland.
DL has the better haunted mansion especially bc of the holiday overlay
All Ears should send you to Disneyland Paris, Tokyo, Hong Kong, or Shanghai.
I LOVE Disney World because I am Originally from Orlando FL and grew up with it. But I would pick Disneyland over the two any day! Why? You dont SWET TO DEATH! I just HATE humidity and thats why I left FL 20 years ago
Just because it’s smaller doesn’t mean it has less to do. It has more attractions than the magic kingdom.
I love both WDW and DLR for different reasons. Honestly, it’s hard to compare as WDW has AK and the Skyliner. One major difference for us is the Candlelight Procession. Although DLR has it only on the first weekend in December, its intimate presentation makes it more touching and memorable to kickoff the Holiday season.
I think Disneyland can't compete as a resort, but Magic Kingdom can't compete as a park compared to Disneyland.
Either way, It's good to see All Ears doing some more California content. Love it!
I would give Haunted Mansion to Disneyland because of the Nightmare Before Christmas overlay. Also, the stretching room is a real elevator
Conversely, Emma was being polite by not naming WDW Jungle Cruise the clear winner. I mean, she gave it the edge, but it's easily the winner. They have the whole added cave scene, PLUS they still do Jingle Cruise during the holidays. If Disneyland HM wins because of NBC, WDW Jungle wins because of Jingle. I agree though, Disneyland HM should win by virtue of the elevator alone.
@@Praetorian8 Cannot disagree with this. My husband and I live on the west coast, and we still go to Disney World every few years because we love it
Thanks for doing this! People don't realize that Disneyland Resort is better when it comes to rides. And that's not to mentioned DLR has better weather, pricing and is more convenient to get around.
I love both parks and so grateful that I get to alternate between them...I may give the slight edge DLR....but it's just so close! love them both!
Awesome video! Thanks - you are so knowledgeable. For me - Disneyland has almost as many attractions in a much more accessible layout. I found it so hard to get around Disney World.

Turtle Talk with Crush is significantly longer in DCA! Which gives each show a very uniquely, personalized feel!
I always thought Disneyland felt more magical because I grew up in the west coast and went there as a child. But my friend grew up in Florida and thinks Disney world is more magical. I really felt tthe magic was missing in DW. Is it just where you went as a child?
You nailed it for me…DW is the first park I went to as a kid and that’s where the nostalgia is
I also grew up going to DL but now live on the East Coast so frequent WDW these days. DL has better rides but WDW just feels nicer overall. I think DL is more about min/maxing rides and WDW is more about the resort, leisure, stopping and smelling the flowers. I always feel like I’m truly on vacation at WDW. DL feels so much more crowded and chaotic. With that said I don’t prefer one over the other. They both are great and both have their downsides.
I don’t know. I grew up in Florida near WDW and love it and I get childhood nostalgia but there’s a zen about DL that’s unmatched.
Depends how much time you have. For a week long vacation, DW for sure. Yes the parks are more spread out but it feels like a resort vacation. DL is definitely more quaint and is special because Walt built it and walked there but it’s smack dab in the middle of LA. It’s surrounded by traffic and concrete.

Not necessarily a bad thing, especially when you’re there for the grandeur, but still a bit impersonal.
I also feel you can do a week at Disneyland and not feel hassled. World due to the size and transportation situation is very hassled.
It would be better to compare Disneyland to Magic Kingdom
Disneyland. No questions asked
I go to disneyland a lot and I took my first trip to Disneyworld. I got a 3 day, First Day Epcot, Second day Magic Kingdom & Third day Disney Hollywood. It was fun with a few different rides but yes very complicated. Overall I prefer Disneyland maybe I'm biased but i prefer it here.

Didn't Disneyland originally have the Swiss Family Robinson tree? So they rethemed it to Tarzan and now they're retheming it back?
Yup
I love Emma's ears! Are they available in Disney World??
I have been to Disneyland every year since I was a baby and have only been to Disneyworld once
I’m sad they are getting rid of Tarzan!!!!! 😢 we need something else Tarzan. The most underrated Disney movie ❤
As a first timer for disneyland, is it better to do 2 or 3 days? I have been to disneyland paris but want to visit disney california and wdw in 1 vacation

Incredicoaster is similar to the Rock 'n' Roller Coaster. It has the fast start & inversions. Also PhilharMagic is better at Magic Kingdom b.c the theater is way better.
Disneyland.
💯
I'm allergic to humidity. Disneyland wins. Also, the best time to go to Disneyland is the winter bc Ca winter is literally just the beginning of Summer. Good weather. Lastly, I recommend going first 2 weeks of December. Why? Because it's btwn two major holiday school breaks. Kids are in school and it's btwn two school breaks so they won't break during that time.

Too bad you didn’t compare Magic Kingdom’s Space Mountain with Disneyland’s Matterhorn

Um...idk if you mean that there are only 2 parks or not but there are more Disneyland in Paris
soooo wdw is worse in every way? 😂😂
EMMAS HERCULES EARS😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
If you want to go on the best Big Thunder Mountain you have to go to Paris
Although I have been going to Disneyland since I was a kid, my family and I have visited WDW at least 10 to 15 times for over the past two decades. Honestly? Both are great. There are some things about Disneyland that are better than WDW. And there are some things about WDW that are better. However, I think both resorts are in danger of being overshadowed by other Disney parks, especially the ones in Tokyo.
Astro orbiter at Disneyland used to be on top of the people move until they moved it and got rid of the people mover and ruined Tomorrowland!!
it is as simple as: are you in a mr toad sort of mood? or a people mover sort of mood?
If you’re comparing Magic Kingdom and Hollywood Studios to DL and DCA, then i get how DL/DCA might win. But Disney World has EPCOT and. Animal Kingdom with Pandora and Flight of Passage and Cosmic Rewind and all the festivals at EPCOT and cultural experiences. WDW also has two water Parks and Disney Springs. Way more affordable on site hotels!!. The Boardwalk. The Skyliner. A camp ground and cabins. Tons of on -site entertainment and shopping.
If having a simpler vacay is what you want, go west! But if you're trying to please multiple ages of kids and adults, and want many more choices for on property- lodging, restaurants, , rides, activities, shopping and entertainment ,
Go east.
Disneyland will always be my home park but recently I’ve liked Walt Disney World better.
DisneyWorld Space Mountain is a copy of Dusneyland Matterhorn. Disneyland Space Mountain is a copy of DisneyWorld Space Mountain.
