as a disney world cast member… disneyland just feels different. it’s so special and magical, you just absolutely can’t beat it. oh yeah, and mint juleps.
+10 for mint juleps.
I grew up on the west coast going to Disneyland at least once a year. Now I’m a local AP at WDW and I think you can’t even compare the two. WDW is hands down more magical. So much to do and you truly feel immersed.
But, Disney World does have FROZEN Mint Juleps! ;)
@@kato223 Truth. And Night Blossoms
10-4 to that
This is such a high effort meme for an unlisted video, 10/10
I agree, criminally underrated
The dedication to make all sides of the argument both angry and satisfied is unmatched. Great work, Offhand Disney.
I never have anxiety planning disneyland, because I don't have to overthink transportation from park to park, the two parks are more developed and complete, and you have more control.
Disneyworld, not so much. Planning disneyworld is stressful.
Hello brother
Brother meetup! 🎉
Tbh, as a brazilian all this stress is what makes the trip to WDW even more magical. When you go to LA and happens to visit Disneyland, it feels just like visiting any other theme park (not inside the park oc, but the overall feeling of that day).
@@tufab3494 I like both. I go to disneyland for a weekend getaway. And I go to disneyworld for a full out vacation. They both offer a great, but different experience.
@@GTNover I agree 100% with you.
As a California native and someone who went to Disneyland almost every year as a child, it was always clear to me that it was Walt Disney’s vision and therefore the most authentic and best Disney experience. Magic Kingdom always felt like an awkward copy of the real thing. But the combo of Epcot, AK, and HS at Disneyworld is ultimately more exciting for how much more it can offer than the Disneyland Resort. So for pure entertainment value, DW > DL, even tho DL is probably still the best Disney park.
Yes DL on its own is the best park, but Disney World is the best theme park resort in the world when all things considered.
Videos should said Disneyland is better than Magic Kingdom, not Disney World.
I agree
I don’t agree, Epcot is one of the most boring and skezophrenic of all the Disney parks, Disney Studios used to be good, but now without the great movie ride, the Studios Tour, “MGM”, I don’t even know what it is, Animal Kingdom is nice to be honest and I really enjoy Typhoon Lagoon, but from all the US Disney Parks Disneyland is number 1 and DCA number 2 for me without a doubt and I think that the two DL parks beat the four WDW parks. Besides, you don’t have to get on long bus rides to get from one place to another at Disneyland.
@@marcoantoniogarcia8576no. just no.
Fun Fact: If you add up all of the rides at Disney World’s 4 parks, and add up all of the rides at Disneyland’s 2 parks, believe it or not, Disneyland Resort has MORE RIDES than Walt Disney World Resort. Considering WDW is more about quantity and Disneyland is all about quality, I find this fact extremely interesting and relevant to this discussion.
I always lived on the east coast but after watching your channel for the last few years, I drove cross country and greatly enjoyed 5 days at Disneyland based on your recommendations. Had a wonderful 53rd birthday as my first visit. Thanks for the recommendations, stories and history. Well worth the trip.
I think most people are surprised that I choose Disneyland Resort over Disney World. Yes, Disney World is bigger and so is the castle, but at Disneyland my family just gets a hotel room on Harbor Blvd and walk to Disneyland, DCA and Downtown Disney. It’s so convenient, the parks feel more authentic and you can’t beat the weather compared to Florida. DW is just exhausting. The bus schedules, massive parking lots, constant walking and waiting, not to mention it’s hot, humid and wet. I miss Expedition Everest and Flight of Passage, but most rides are the same or better at Disneyland.
The vibes of Disneyland cast members are much more relaxed, like people are excited to work there. WDW, in comparison, feels like they're being held in hostage situation
Disneyland was built with love, in mind. Disney World was built with a bookkeepers ledger, in mind. Doesn’t diminish our enjoyment, for either properties. It’s what we make of the parks, not what their intentions were.
Disneyland is uncle Walt’s place. It’s as simple as that. You either know him or you don’t, but he’s everyone’s uncle, and visiting his home is the best!
My favorite Uncle is Roy Disney he has the wallet.
one of my favorite disneyland experiences ever was walking to the wishing well and seeing alice and the hatter there with no other people. they asked us some silly existential riddle questions. it was really cool to have just a random private moment with some of my favorite characters! i also love watching dr facilier slinking around new orleans square. i've seen him hiding behind a bush to scare people, it was incredible
I had the same experience with Thor in Tomorrowland before avengers campus was built. It was during one of the Halloween events and I was dressed as a Team Aqua Grunt from Pokémon. No one was around Thor and he’s just talking to the photographer and I’m walking by and Thor says “I know you you’re a Pokémon Master”
I don’t like taking pictures. But after he called me out I probably talked to him for maybe 10 mins about Pokémon. Just two 20 something dudes talking about Pokémon lol
I'm actually glad you posted this because I'm going to Disneyland for the first time today
Have fun!
Tony Baxter said it BEST...Disneyland is "charming" Walt Disney World is WOW! When something is "charming" you want to hug it. When something is WOW! You are more in "awe" of it. At Disneyland, you can still ride in the front with driver or in rear with that wrap around glass. When they were putting in Tron, I secretly wished that the dinos from UoE would be placed in a tunnel before you got back to Main Street. DL RR has some really cool tunnels as well. The TTC has a 1970's "feel" Disneyland's entry does NOT feel dated. Disneyland DOES have a distinct "feel" I had the honor to take 2 trips one yr. DL in Oct. (seeing holiday overlays) & WDW in Nov. (with Christmas decorations) Lovely to see the differences.
I grew up going to Disneyland because my grandparents lived just outside of Anaheim, we could see the fireworks from Disneyland from their backyard. I just finally got to go to Disney World earlier this year for my 31st birthday, and while I loved it a lot (Animal Kingdom and Epcot especially), it will never beat Disneyland for me. As you've said and many others have said, the feel of being at Disneyland, the magic of standing where Walt once stood, is indescribable and breath taking. It brings tears to my eyes. I can't wait to share that magic with my daughter one day when she's a little older.
I literally died at the “HAHA WE HAVE MR TOAD STILL!!!!” that’s the best thing ever 😂😂😂😂😂
Visiting Disneyland feels like when I visit an American historical landmark. It gives off the same energy. Disneyland makes me feel like “wow this is THE Disneyland”.
For the casual Disney fan, I think people would enjoy WDW better. But for history buffs I think Disneyland doesn’t compare.
I also think Disney (the company) needs to acknowledge this more. While Disneyland isn’t supposed to be a stagnant museum, it’s an American institution and should be respected as such.
I hate how they try to WDW-fy Disneyland sometimes.
Have to disagree with you. I’m a huge Disney history buff and still prefer WDW over DL. There is a whole lot of Disney history behind WDW. Like the fact that both Haunted Mansion attractions were built at the exact same time.
I do really enjoy DL and if someone invited to go I would jump at the chance, but I’ll choose WDW anytime
Had to watch these back to back. Cover to cover. Top to bottom. Death and taxes. Amigo amigo. Lavirne and Shirley. Peanut butter and jelly. Dallin and Dallin's rockin hair. Seriously, it puts DisneyPrince hair to shame.
Speaking of characters walking around, one year, my friend and I went for a few days to Disneyland, and while we were hanging out in New Orleans Square, I saw Jack Skellington walking up behind my friend while he was facing me. I held back a grin while I watched as my friend was busy with something, and while watching, Jack paused, walked right up behind my friend, and slowly stuck his head next to my friend, causing my friend to scream and jump.
The last time I went to Disneyland was the year my dad retired from work - aged 65. Walking through the front gates.... the feeling in the air is just palpable. It's the closest thing to real magic.
And seeing my dad (again, 65 years old) - his eyes just sparkling like a child, seeing it for the first time. No words can express that feeling
I love WDW, especially AK and Epcot, but you nailed it when you said, "Disneyland is the heart and soul..." There is no place that compares.
I grew up in SoCal during the 90s/00s, so I may be a bit biased towards Disneyland. While I've been to WDW a few times, I felt like WDW was more like a vacation resort where you need to pay thousands of dollars to get a full experience. Disneyland, on the other hand, is more like a theme park where you can do everything in a day or two for a few hundred; yet you will want to come back again and again no matter how many times you've visited.
OK, Im a WDW Stan through and through, but in relation to Number 1 on your list... I just visited Disneyland for the first time in my 31 years of life last month (D23 Expo trip) and that first morning walking down Main Street, and seeing that tiny castle...I lost my mind and cried. There's something about walking down the street he walked and built that really hit me hard.
As a former Disneyland Cast Member (New Orleans/Bear Country Attractions), your comment made me cry. Thank you for such a lovely description of your experience! 💖
Sleeping beauty castle is beautiful ☺️
As much as I love both parks but I always prefer Disneyland feels so magical and special definitely feels like Walt Disney put his touches on Disneyland. Definitely agree Disneyland is the heart and soul of the Disney park
The weather. Southern California’s generally near perfect weather (warm summer days, cool evenings) is hard to beat.
The ending encapsulates why I can't wait to get to travel to the west coast and visit Disneyland perfectly. It's the one Walt made. He experienced it, he tweaked it personally, he walked around there. I'm actually not a huge Disney person, but I have so much love for theme parks and Walt Disney is hands down the godfather of the modern theme park experience. I respect the man, what he accomplished, and how big he dreamed. It would be a travesty for me to not experience Walt's park firsthand at some point.
on the character note, one of my favorite disneyland memories is walking down main street on the first morning of that particular trip and seeing alice and the hatter just having a little tea party with some kids, it was so special and just encapsulates how magical that park is and how much it feels like home to anyone who enters it
I grew up going to Disneyland, but the first time I went to Disney World was when I became a cast member there. I cannot tell you how shook I was to find out that you cannot just walk across an esplanade to hop between the parks in Florida. That's so much work and time to get on a vehicle to park hop. I'll take the minute-tops-long walk across a courtyard any day.
Also, on the character note - my favorite character moment to this day was back before Galaxy's Edge was built and they still had the petting zoo in Frontierland. My friend and I were leaning on the fence looking at goats, and Woody randomly joined in on the action. In that corner of the park alone, they would have 6 or so characters wondering around, and then when it was time for them to go, 6 different characters would come out in their place and hang out and play. Belle and the Beast decided to ride the Carousel with us one day. In Florida, lines are crucial for character safety. Otherwise, they get mobbed. There's a lot more respect for the characters at Disneyland.
#4 is so true. I was on Main Street close to closing and we were just hanging out when Mickey and Pluto started playing fetch with a little kid throwing his hat. Very cute!
Ate at Bengal Barbecue last week and I totally agree, it’s literally the best. It’s cheap and semi-sorta-fast and the skewers especially the veggies are a 10/10. Put some lemon 🍋 on there! They include all kinds of random vegetables sometimes too. Once it came with a couple of baby red potatoes. Random but great. If you have a couple people with you just have everyone order a different skewer and you can I mix and match for fun. Also get the tiger tail bread is nice to add. ❤
Which is a better overall resort? Disney World… just from the sheer amount of hotels and shopping experiences there. Which is a better park? No contest: Disneyland. Can’t beat that “Walt literally built this” atmosphere 😊
Maybe to add to #3 - Fantasmic. Hollywood Studios can't compare when at Disneyland, that moment when all the Disney characters regale the audience from the Mark Twain Riverboat. It elevates the experience to that "Disney magic" level, much like #1 on this vid - the Disney touch. Great vid!
I’ve been to Disney World and loved it, Disneyland feels so much more cozy and detailed more personal if that makes sense. More magical ♥️
I'm born and raised with Disneyland throughout my childhood to adulthood, i wouldn't have it any other way. I believe that since Disneyland is more compact it's easier to navigate everywhere despite not going on every ride within a day. There's plenty to see as well as taking in the atmosphere of each land. Not to mention all of it's history as being Walt's first park. It's very much like a time capsule of walking in the same footsteps as many those who were present on it's first opening day. It's an experience unlike any other. Even while the park is always changing, the feeling of Disney never leaves (except for the money i've spent). So i may be bias cuz i can't travel out of state, I still believe Disneyland is its own special park that i hold dear. That and DLR has a better Fantasyland than WDW lol.
You said it - there is simply something special about Disneyland. And besides -those Fantasyland dark rides!!! The Magic Kingdom lost a lot of magic for me when they removed Mr. Toad's Wild Ride.
You can loop around in Dino Land at Disney World. As soon as you exit Dinosaur, hang a right, go through the gift shop, and you are at the Dino -Roma. From there you can continue on to Asia.
offhand you might as well continue on the series and do “ why Shanghai Disneyland is the best foreign”,” why Hong Kong, Disneyland is the best foreign”etc it would be pretty cool🎡🎡
omg yes
Disneyland's Pirates of the Carribean we go down two waterfalls and ride up at the end of the ride.
I knew before watching this video that number 1 would be Walt himself. That's THE magic of Disneyland. His dreams and ideals can be felt and experienced there. I'm old enough to remember seeing him on Sunday evenings on TV and my favorite episodes were the ones where he showed off Disneyland.
Fun little couplet today, always doing something new Dallin that's why you're the best Disneytuber out there.
I'd love to see you talk about the holiday overlays at the parks, and maybe dive a bit more into the history of them! Like a history starting from Christmas tree Matterhorn LOL!
I will always argue that Disneyland is one of the best Disney parks
I only went to disneyland once and I totally agree with you. It just feels more magical.
I vote for Disneyland because I was an annual passholder since 1994. Now I am an Inspire Magic Key Holder. I am a die-hard Disneyland Resort fan.
One of the reasons Disneyland has a different feel is through their characters. Many of them are actors, cast through Dramalogue, waiting for their break and working a job that brings in the rent. While there are actors in Florida, it's a whole different thing in the conglomerate that is Disney World, as opposed to the cozier Disneyland park. These are actors that are happy to stay in character all day, chatting with guests and improvising.
you made a good point,when you mentioned the train.....
they say "it all started with a mouse"....maybe so, but disneyland started with a train set....because walt wanted a better place than his backyard to give people rides on his trains.
before there was WED,there was RETLAW productions....(walter spelled backwards) and things like the mark twain,the tiki room,the monorail,and of course his beloved trains were not owned by WED enterprises....they were owned by RETLAW...these were walts personal toys....and were not on WEDs payroll....at any time,walt could show up,and decide he was gonna take a lap ,and give the engineers a break....and sinces hes the big boss,no one was gonna argue with him.
you can imagine what it must have been like,going to disneyland,and having walt disney himself giving you the grand circle tour.
i would submit,that everything within the berm was designed by disney himself,to be his 5/8 scale model train layout.
and this is why its important to ride the train when you go to disneyland first.....to see every land as walt wanted you to see it...from his train set.
I will vote for Disneyland because it’s way less crowded than WDW. Our last trip to WDW was disappointing because of it - we had an early entry, Genie plus, LL, but most of the time we just stayed in the line.
Summer humidity is horrible at Disneyworld. The heatis unbearable.
Walt Disney World fan here...I have to agree with you that Disneyland just seems like the heart of the Disney franchise. I'd truly love to visit someday and experience that.
18:13 Yuh, respect for Knotts!
No. 1 Splash Mountain has better music than at WDW. Rest in piece Brer Rabbit 😢
Both videos were great, I’ve never been to disneyworld and you really did I good job expressing what makes it great, BUT the OG Magic Kingdom is my playground and I was glad to hear you show some it love 🙌🏻
This is what I love about this guy! I grew up in Florida so I’m biased, but I loved visiting DL. However I don’t think either is inherently better than the other. Obviously people prefer one for their own reason. But no one should say one is the absolute best park if every sense
Can’t argue with a single thing you said In either video. I will be at Disneyland next Wednesday can’t wait!
I always say DisneyWorld is my backyard playground but Disneyland is my home. I will always choose the Land over the World, if I'm forced to choose. Even though I love them both.
World has always been more slick and "efficient" feeling than Land. You can tell that Magic Kingdom is just a copy with slight changes made for capacity reasons, and it feels less personal due to missing a lot of early history. Disney is fantasy, and appreciation of the depth of time has always been one of fantasy's core themes.
Keep up the great work! Offhand Disney video is always treat!
You should consider becoming a Politician with that major flip flop in such a short time!!! 😂
I just have 2 things to say, 1-The People Mover! And 2- Living With The Land!!!
I rest my case! 😂
Fun fact:
When you were walking through Sleeping Beauty’s Castle the side that has the light and the 2 doors. There use to be a little candy shop that made and sold rock candy.
How are there so few views on this? Must have been the super subtle hints in the original video
You're here early ;)
Man Disneyland just has so many good memories with my father and it feels more sentimental to me.
11:35- It’s got Pirates of the Caribbean, the best boat ride…”
*stares in Living with the Land*
Ah, you can get the early 80s anywhere. Those 50s-tinged 1710s just can't be replicated.
Love the breakdown. Disneyland is definitely the best for me. It feels like it was created for the fans, it has more heart
You SOB, you got me. Not saying you're biased towards WDW, but I do agree with all your takes on WDW. WDW does a lot of things better than DL. BUT, as you said in the end of this video, it's fact. There's a special, warm, cozy feeling when you pass those turnstiles. It's such a great theme park! I'm biased as I go to DL at least once a year being 5 1/2 hrs away, but, I miss a lot of WDW has to offer.
Hey! First, our family really enjoys your stuff. We notice you, like us, like the Polynesian resort. We are also with you when it comes to the Haunted Mansion, Pirates, and the People Mover. However, why don’t you ever cover The Enchanted Tiki Room?! My 86 yr old mother was a professional whistler. Growing up we would sit in the back row and she could whistle the soundtrack. She did the same for her grandchildren, one of which is now a music major in college. Haven’t seen your next follow up video. However, The Tiki Room at Disneyland is the best. Did I mention we have family in Hawaii too. We are quite fond of the Polynesian culture as a whole. And…we are all haoles! What do ya’ say?! “In the Tiki, Tiki, Tiki, Tiki, Tiki Room!”
I love how the intro and description is the EXACT same as the WDW video. The attention to detail is incredible LOL
I went to Disneyland in 2020 for my 24th. I have to admit despite the price hikes, I did have a magical time. I’d like to start off by thanking the cast members for giving me the best birthday to remember. I hope to return one day.
Disneyland is just peak Disney Magic. (And I’ve been to all of them except for Shanghai.) It’s hard to explain but it’s the only Disney park I’d be willing to pay money for just to sit on a bench under a tree around the hub while eating a Mickey premium bar.
Having two generations of Disney Imagineers in my family and being surrounded by Imagineers all my life, every single one has said that Disneyland is their favorite park. It embodies Walt’s vision the most. They did also say that EPCOT is a favorite too but it’s good for being a “theme park” but not “Walt’s theme park”. I think they would disagree that WDW is “the brains” of the parks. They’ve always talked about WDW being more of the Walmart or Costco of Disney parks. You go there to get everything you need but not anything in particular will be too intimate.
I think that is just referring that WDW is the most visited Disney resort.
Life long Disney Worlder here. Lived in Florida for 30+ years. Went to DLR this July for the first time and you hit the nail on the head with this one. Bengal BBQ is amazing. The Fantasyland dark rides remind me of MK when I was a kid. The park just feels homey. Somethings I didn’t care for, like how Tomorrowland seems to be on top of the castle and there are bad sight lines. I didn’t like how I could see the back of Small World from my hotel/the highway. Overall WDW has more to see and do but it’s so busy you need more time to appreciate it. DLR is a true joy to visit and I look forward to going back!
@Emmanuel Goldstein what's a WDW annual pass? ;)
I LOVE Disneyland much better especially the hotel brings back memories!
This was wonderful. Thank you for being you, D!
Ouch OD! Losing Mr Toad as a kid (which is my fave amusement park ride) is the reason I hate Disney as a company. Love to visit Disneyland someday.
Even as a Florida resident who only went to Disneyland as a wee tot and don't have any memories of it whatsoever and has a sizeable bias to WDW I gotta say you brought up some interesting points about the pros of DL. Cause even as someone who's (remembered) Disney park experience is exclusively on the east coast from what I've heard about the unique features of DL I've always got the impression that DL has this unique... *specialness* that WDW simply doesn't have; and this video definitely added to that notion but you also added some additional good points as well!
As someone who’s been to both, I grew up going to Orlando as I live on the east coast, and honestly after going to Anaheim I never wanna step foot in WDW again. The crowds are twice as bad, the weather is absolutely terrible and it feels like you have twice as many parks for half the rides. DL fits all the quality attractions into two walkable parks that you can take at a leisurely pace and still get everything done in 2-3 days. WDW on the other hand feels like it has the same amount of rides worth riding (plus a few not worth it, like spaceship earth) but has spread them over the course of miles and miles of space. Disneyland feels like a vacation, disney world feels like a chore.
As the great Tony Baxter once said, "I think that Disneyland in California is charming, and the one in Florida is spectacular."
Very well done! 👏 I also agree that it's Disneyland (1st) and EPCOT (2nd). You just can't beat them.
Loved these two videos! I've been to Disney World twice, in 2021 and 2022, and am going to Disneyland for the first time this summer.. followed by Disney World for the third time later in the year. Looking forward to experiencing both and comparing them myself. I'm most excited to experience Disneyland's Pirates of the Caribbean
Thank you OffhandDisney I used some of these in my persuasive argumentative essay
Very nicely done on both videos - the weather though - Orlando gets so many more rainy days than Anaheim.
love it dallin, number one really did sum it up for me. sure i grew up going to dl so i have some nostalgia but ultimately you can’t beat walt’s personality shining through, it’s so timeless. most based distuber
Disneyland has a warmer feel and is cozier. Only Disneyland has the (Disneyland Walk In Walt's Footsteps Tour) Disneyland, year-round, has better weather. Disneyland is close to skiing (winter only) and surfing. Disneyland has a "real" stretching room for the Haunted Mansion. Thanks for posting your fine work for your loving fans to enjoy.......
Technically the hm in DL is a elevator not actually stretching like the WDW version.
@@derekmiles2543 At DL the stretching room ceiling moves up and the floor (elevator) moves down but at WDW just the ceiling moves up for the stretching effect. At WDW the guests don't need to be lowered to go under the R.R. berm. I do like the Jungle Cruse better at WDW.
Disneyland is much more dense as a park. With so many little experiences you can do to pass the time I was walking around and found a little quarter machine that replays scenes from hunchback of notre dame. I walked to galaxies edge and ran right into Mandalorian and grogu. I sat on a bench and Belle walked up and said hi to me.
Loved how you finished with what makes Disneyland have an upper hand on all the parks. Being that I'm a fan of the history of Disney I can totally agree. Disneyland is what I consider the Authentic Experience and WDW the Improved Experience all from the learnings of DL. I love WDW for it's innovation and the whole creation of the Utilidor for MK. Even the story behind how and why it was created! Miss the days of just roaming around down there my CP days BUT! That can't even compare to being in the very park that the man himself actually created and stepped foot in! It's a whole different vibe and lets not forget that DL set a few historical first that changed the world as we know it and inspired the future of show and ride attractions as we experience them today!
Love this series I’m glad you made these. Gives me a reason to travel to Disneyland sometime. Not that I already didn’t want to 😂.
I love the way the intro is a complete copy paste of the previous video
I get asked which I prefer a lot. I wear my Disney nerd flag proudly, I have been to both resorts several times, been on two Disney cruises, I was DL annual passholder for one year, and was a CP at WDW. For me it comes down with how long you are going and who with. If you are going 5 plus nights and all you are doing is Disney stuff (Universals, Knott's, trips to the beach, etc.) I'd go WDW. The vast amount of offerings they have beyond the parks makes this the place to go for an extended trip. You can do everything at the Disneyland parks and Downtown Disney in 4 days fairly easily, without even park hopping. Going less than 5 days you can really feel like you left items on the table at WDW, and you are not going to be able to do everything. The second part who are you traveling with. If you have littles, think people too short to ride a Disney coaster, Disneyland has more for them to do, there is far less walking, everything is closer together, park hopping is indescribably easier to do, and getting back to your hotel, on property or off, is probably going to be faster. Now if your with adults that want to enjoy an adult beverage, have greater levels of patience, and will get more out of what EPCOT and DHS has to offer that might be the better option for you regardless of length of trip. There also other things to consider cost of travel, lodging, etc. But these, believe it or not, are just a few of my thoughts. With all that said if I was told I can only visit one Disney park one last time and never be able to go to any Disney park ever again, I would have to choose Disneyland Park. The atmosphere it has, the knowing that this is something Walt was a part of, is something that truly should be experienced.
The other “dead end” at DLR that I could think of is Toon Town.
Disneyland is better to me because of the nostalgia and small town atmosphere that makes it feel so inviting. It’s a smaller park so it’s easier to have a casual trip to Disneyland, while Disney World planning is more complicated and stressful. Park hopping at Disneyland is easier and it’s more walkable because it’s not as sprawling as Disney World.
One visit, years ago, on a weekday with not as many people as usual, my friends and I became animatronics while on the Disney train, traveling around the park. We boarded and were the only people on that carriage, so we felt inspired to become animatronic gesture visitors, miming looking about, pointing, and even animatronic eating, never actually biting into that burger. We gratifyingly had visitors we passed pointing to us, taking pictures, and waving. Best ride ever!
I love that on the same weekend you produce why each park is better than each other! Lmao. Disneyland is supreme!!!
The Bengal Barbecue absolutely slaps , went there on a whim on my last trip and was shocked at how good it was! Ended up eating there multiple times, the best quick-service food i've had outside of epcot for sure.
Gaston is the best experience at the Disneyland Resort. I said something about no one strolls through the Disneyland park like Gaston. And he challenged me to a push up contest. There was some great banter back and forth. I was thrilled

If I had the opportunity to spend one magical day in any park anywhere - it'd be Disneyland, no question. There's so much detail, so much history, and it's more accessible for the most amazing day ever. But if I were given a prize of a magical 7 night vacation - then I'd be going to Disneyworld. No one part of WDW equals the original park, but if you want entertainment for a week, relaxation, water parks, themed resorts - your week long vacation is better spent in Florida than California. You can't spend a week at Disneyland (4 days is my limit), you can't spend one day (fulfillingly) at Disneyworld. Which is "Better" depends on what you want to do!
I have always said Disneyland is a better park than the Magic Kingdom, but Disney World is a better resort.
WDW’s Space Mountain tracks predate the Giacchino one. I’m pretty sure when Giacchino wrote the tracks for DL he referenced motifs from the WDW version, instead of the other way around.
The bank on Main Street!
My mom & dad would get money from there and when Disney Dollars came out my mom bought a bunch. :)
That bank was awesome.
I grew up with Disneyland, as a native of San Diego. Since I was 2 years old (in 1974) I was going 2x's a year or more. The park is filled with memories of my mother, father, brother, and grandmother.
I've been to WDW 5x's, all as an adult. And I love WDW. The scale of the place, the designs, and as you said: EPCOT.
I find it hard to compare them. It's like comparing siblings. They're just different and wonderful and special and amazing in their own ways. But, Disneyland will always carry a special place in my heart. But, I do need to make a trip to WDW soon. It's been far too long since I last went.
So I saw your previous video about DW and loved it...disagreed with you but saw your points.
Years ago i worked at DL as a college kid. I met an Imagineer..not sure who it was. I asked him which HE preferd and he did n ot miss a beat..DW was his answer....I was taken back and asked why. He said size. He told me they were not limited by the land they could work with... Well i had to give him that. He also said...that being the case..you just cannot excape the FEEL of Disneyland..it was different.
That is what I am saying too..the feel of DL is why me..now an old guy of 68 still goes there becasue of the FEEL i can get no where else!
Disneyland has the magical atmosphere. It’s like being in another world. Love it.
@Offhand Disney You should do a vid on Howie’s Angels. There isnt anything about them on YT and there the reason for CRT being prepaid and cc to reserve adrs.
