It's on my bucket list! I've been to DL & WDW, but won't be able to go overseas until I'm working an adult job (lol) and out of college

Nope, I have made it to DLR, WDW and Disneyland Paris. I do not have any desire nor do I think the opportunity will come up to visit the others. Getting to old for that stuff anymore.

So which did you like best? What are some interesting differences?

Magic Kingdom is still my favorite overall. I think when you compare all six "castle" parks, Magic Kingdom still comes out on top. The detail is just too good, and the park size is perfect. Shanghai, despite being brand new, is just too big. I know that may seem like a good thing, but we're not talking big as in too many attractions but rather expanded walkways which have no theming. It's just landscaping. They made the walkways super wide and long to accommodate the large crowd sizes which is great, but they didn't make enough attractions. So you have plenty of space to walk around, but the queues are 2+ hours for everything (and 3-4 hours for the E-ticket stuff). They desperately need more attractions to suck up the gigantic crowds they allow in. Tron, Peter Pan, and Pirates are sensational though. So happy to hear WDW is getting Tron.

On the flip side, Hong Kong DL is somewhat small, and it feels a little lifeless. It's due for a major expansion, and I believe they are getting one soon. It does have maybe the best show of them all (Mickey's Wondrous Book).

Tokyo's DL is probably the closest looking park to Magic Kingdom, but they cut some corners with the theming in some areas, especially in Tomorrowland. Many of you have been to DL California and Paris so I don't have to comment on those. DL California is probably my #2 after the Magic Kingdom.

As far as the individual parks go, I'd put Tokyo DisneySea right up there. So much to see in that place, although I am not happy with the new version of Fantasmic, and DL California has just recently adopted it. I hope WDW doesn't go in that direction.

Just missing Shanghai. I was initially gung-ho on being there within its first year of operation but that fizzled shortly after the grand opening. It looks sort of barren and dare I say, ugly. Waiting for a substantial addition (TSL does not count).

LOL....there is ONLY one Magic Kingdom......at The Walt Disney World Resort. All the others are DISNEYLAND which is why they are called Disneyland Resort, Disneyland Resort Paris, Tokyo Disney Resort, Hong Kong Disneyland Resort, and Shanghai Disney Resort.

And where did the name "magic kingdom" come from? Disneyland. DL has been called "The Magic Kingdom" and "Walt Disney's Magic Kingdom" from day one, even by Walt himself, long before WDW was even a thought. It simply isn't its official park name.It still is referred as such throughout the park and some of the other international parks as well.

Any castle park is a "magic kingdom" style park.
