Disney World Is Infinitely Better Than Disneyland, and Here's Why

While Disneyland has Sleeping Beauty Castle, Walt Disney World has Cinderella Castle, which towers over Magic Kingdom at 189 feet tall.

While the Big Thunder Mountain Railroad attraction at Disneyland has a big show ending, Walt Disney World's is bigger and gives better views of the park.

Walt Disney World's Space Mountain is much better than Disneyland's, with more drops and two tracks, so more guests can experience the attraction at one time.

The views from The People Mover attraction are amazing! The journey takes you through Tomorrowland and up by the castle hub and Main Street, U.S.A.

Imagine meeting two princess at the same time! That's exactly what happens at Princess Fairytale Hall. Guests can meet Cinderella and Elena, all in one enchanting setting. Pro tip: you can even get a FastPass.

Walt Disney World's nighttime spectacular at Magic Kingdom, Happily Ever After, is a must see!

At Walt Disney World, Hollywood Studios has seen an uptick in new attractions, with Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge and Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance opening in 2019, and now Mickey & Minnie's Runaway Railway, which opened in March 2020.

Walt Disney World's Stormtroopers, who used to put on March of the First Order, now sit at Stars Wars: Galaxy's Edge where they patrol the area and interrogate locals.

Walt Disney World still has one of the best themed attractions, Tower of Terror, while Disneyland's Tower was recently transformed into Guardians of the Galaxy: Mission Breakout.

Walt Disney World hosts four parks, one of them being Epcot, Walt's vision for a community of tomorrow!

Over at Epcot every January, the International Festival of the Arts takes place around World Showcase, and it's amazing! With interactive exhibits and lots of tasty treats, this is one of the best events of the year at Walt Disney World.

Speaking of World Showcase, Epcot is home to 11 different country pavilions where guests can learn about and explore different cultures, with cast members coming from around the world to represent their home countries.

One of the most underrated pavilions to ever be created is The Land at Epcot. This pavilion in Future World houses two attractions, Living With the Land and Saorin' Over the World.

Walt Disney World's fourth theme park, Disney's Animal Kingdom, boasts its park icon the Tree of Life. Guests can walk around the tree base to see all of the detailed carvings and even go inside to catch a 3D show, "It's Tough to Be a Bug," which Disneyland dimmed the lights on in 2018.

Walt Disney World still hosts runDisney events each year, where guests can run through parks and around the Walt Disney World property. This year, the runDisney Wine and Dine Half Marathon will get a new villainous theme!

With the same track system on both Indiana Jones Adventure and Dinosaur, it's hard to choose a better attraction, but Dinosaur is it! The use of space is better, and let's be honest, everyone loves dinosaurs.

At Disney's Animal Kingdom you do not want to miss Rivers of Light: We Are One, which combines storytelling with a beautiful water pageant. This show is way better than World of Color at Disneyland, and doesn't get canceled as often!

Disneyland and Disney California Adventure put together would still be smaller than the Magic Kingdom parking lot. Walt Disney World has the blessing of space, taking up a piece of land that's about the size of San Francisco.

Yes, both Disneyland and Walt Disney World have Instagram-famous walls, but the most famous of all belongs to Walt Disney World at the Purple Wall, along the way to Tomorrowland at Magic Kingdom.

What Disneyland lacks is a true Disney bubble, where you are truly taken away from the outside world for the duration of your vacation. Walt Disney World offers that to guests staying at one of their on-site resorts.
