First Visit to MK: Disneylander Documentation

[Californian Elitist]

I figured this deserved its own thread lol. Going to try and report live as much as I can.

Already missing the scale and size of Disneyland, but MK is beautiful so far. The castle is not as big as I thought it would be.

No Walt here.

I went recently for the first time in 10 years. The only thing in MK that really got me was the PeopleMover. I feel like Animal Kingdom was where I was really wowed. That and the World Showcase at EPCOT.

Magic Kingdom park is a pale clone of Disneyland - the magic kingdom. The Florida Disney team doesn’t care about the parks there. Everyone can see that.

Oh wow, your first time ever?! Have an amazing time!! The Magic Kingdom is such a gem

The Carousel of Progress is charming and smells its age. Lol.

Speedway doesn’t look as charming as Autopia.

If I wasn’t a Disneyland fan, I wouldn’t have known that WDW was celebrating its 50th anniversary. With the exception of the castle, I have seen nothing else in the park that signifies the anniversary yet. Stark contrast to DL’s 50th and 60th anniversaries.

It's such a negative contrast vs. Autopia. Spatial considerations aside, I can't believe they cloned the WDW version of this for Tokyo.

Even the 50th statues are easier to miss than they should be.

Although I love the small-town quaintness of DL's Main Street, and it's a stronger area overall, I can't say I dislike the opulence and grander scale of MK's.

As a WDW fan, I wish you had the chance to experience WDW's 25th anniversary.

Since the anniversary was the last time WDW truly went out on a major milestone. WDW's 50th Anniversary is a joke!

Just ordered food and was not asked if I was an AP. Interesting.

 

[Californian Elitist]

My friend and I on the Monorail, heading to the entrance.

 

[Californian Elitist]

Florida’s drinking water tastes terrible. Disneylanders, ask for bottled water and soda here.

 

[Californian Elitist]

MK’s Fantasyland is nowhere near as underwhelming as I thought it would be. Is it Disneyland’s? No. But it’s still beautiful and nice.

 

[Californian Elitist]

Up next…

 

[Californian Elitist]

I’ve heard people talk about the abrupt transitions in Disneyland. They’re abrupt here, too. Mansion in Liberty Square is on the left and Fantasyland is on the right.
