Adventureland is always a fun time

Which Adventureland? Disneyland's pulp adventure? Magic Kingdom's numerous locales? Tokyo Disneyland's proto-World Showcase? Disneyland Paris' Arabian Nights-inspired? Hong Kong's exotic and dense version? Shanghai's 1-2 punch of Treasure Cove and Adventure Isle?

That can be tricky, but if I'm talking about just the land itself and not factoring in specific attractions, I might say MK's Fantasyland. Considering the broad potential of IPs one can use in Fantasyland, I like the idea of dividing it into different sub-lands to reflect that variety.

MK's New Fantasyland is one of the biggest disappointments in recent history because of how much was just wasted.

Attempting to come up with a 'new' land is always fun

I'm reminded of Pacific Wharf in our Sydney Disneyland back in 2017 by @D Hindley

Definitely folks can check it out if they haven't seen it before!

WDW’s Fantasyland. I love all the immersive environments like Tangled, BATB, etc.

The idea is awesome, but the execution did feel a little lacking. It feels like a lot of room to walk around, but not as much real potential was taken in terms of what they could have done with attractions.

It’s probably a tie between DL’s New Orleans Square and MK’s Liberty Square. Both have so much character.

There's so much to be said for a land that feels "lived in" like NOS or LS do.

A tie between Disneyland's NOS and Fantasyland. Both have so much charm and life to them. It is just nice to stroll through and see all the little details and scenery in the land.

 

[JokersWild]

Probably Liberty Square or WDW’s Frontierland. I love the story that both tell.

Disney World's Tomorrowland, hands down!

Add me to the NOS love train. It’s the birthplace of arguably the two greatest Castle Park rides - POTC & Haunted Mansion. The land can be enjoyed without the rides, thanks to the deepest and most creative and most consistent dining & retail experience in Disneyland. The confluence of narrow alleyways, plus their lived-in balcony details etc., make it feel the most alive.

The 5 classic opening day 1955 lands (in any park) tend to lack NOS’s cohesion thanks to their very broad themes. Paris’ Frontierland does the best to unify all its western themes into a single setting and storyline, which is a tact more often seen in second gate lands like in DisneySea. Shanghai’s Treasure Cove comes close to doing something similar, but it’s lacking one more major attraction for now.

WDW Adventureland. The misplaced Aladdin stuff aside, it is a really lovely land with great atmospher and wonderful flow between the sections. With added stuff like the Pirate game that elevate the atmosphere. Plus, some of my favorite "chill" attractions like the Treehouse and Tiki Room. And then the best Jungle Cruise and the Pirates with the best queue/surrounding atmosphere. Wdw Pirates queue I honestly rank up there with Flight of Passage and Indiana Jones in terms of quality.

Clearly I can't read because I answered this as which land do you like to make

Favorite land? Main Street U.S.A in WDW. That version really enhanced the forced perspective and scaling.

One of my favorite effects is that the Main Street Station feels closer as you walk to the exit, and the Castle feels further away as you walk towards it. Both are the same length away but one slowly drags you into the park, and the other makes you feel like you're closer to exiting.

I knew not including the outro in the time would be a bad idea! Curses!
