Small World Disneyland vs. Small World WDW

[Walt Disney1955]

The biggest factor probably has to do with how Disneyland's version years back added Disney characters in the mix. Peter Pan, Alice, Donald, etc. All are in there, but to be fair all are in place of the country they would be associated with.

But which one do you like better, and why? Disneyland's version has the beautiful exterior and the line up is completely outside while WDW's has the nice inside interior in line and all the queue is inside.

Do you prefer one or the other? Do you prefer it without the characters added in amongst the children?

Magic Kingdom wins by default since Disneyland got rid of “it’s a small world” 10 years ago.

Iasw holiday is phenomenal, as is the facade at DL. These facts alone give the win to DL

 

[NomeKing88]

I voted for the one WITHOUT mold growing on the ceiling.

 

[TwilightZone]

I voted disneyland because it has the way better queue.
Tent is boring, cool clock all the way.

with the exception of Splash and Big Thunder.....EVERYTHING is better at DL And that's just a fact..
Unless we are talking attractions unique to each resort.....IE Everest and Matterhorn. Cant compare....Or SSE which well, there is only 1.

I think MK's Jungle Cruise is better.

I think MK's Jungle Cruise is better.

Maybe.. I know MK Has some "new" effects and all..Disneyland i don't think has them. I will say this may be another..tie.
I could also maybe say H.M. is better at MK Although DL version is fine...but it doesn't have some of the effects MK has

Agreed about HM in WDW having the edge.
For iasm, I prefer the "flooded room" look in WDW better than the flume in DL

I like the indoor portion at MK.

I like the indoor portion at MK.

right thats a neat area

 

[vacationmadness]

I definitely like the whole room having water at WDW versus the trough running through the middle of the rooms in DL. But Disneyland definitely has the better facade.

I tend to agree with this. Splash for sure is better at WDW. I found Disneyland's version to be noticeably rushed and I didn't like the one row of seats as much. Big Thunder at WDW has the better line, probably the better setting as well and it seems a bit longer. Other than that, it is hard to put WDW's clone rides over Disneyland's. I have always told this to people who are WDW lifers but have never lingered over to Disneyland that they ought to try it at least once to compare.

 

[KDM31091]

Disneyland's to me is more elaborate and nicer, at least with the facade and appearance, especially around the holidays. WDW's is bland in comparison.

 

[LaughingGravy]

But when it rains, the inside area of WDW's is really nice!

 

[thomas998]

Equally evil rides that should have been eliminated a long time ago.

DL and MK 's HMs alternate between which is better depending on maintenance and enhancements orlack therof. I would give the edge to DL right now by virtue of the Hatbox Ghost and not having PLQ or the CG Hitchikers. As for Small world MK wins because it has not succumbed to the forces of blatant commercialism DL has as of right now.

 

[Touchdown]

I know it’s no ones favorite but Pooh is also better in Florida. Agree with Splash, HM being better in Florida. Up until DL added the new third lift effects I would have placed WDW BTMRR above DL, but until WDW gets that upgrade DL is the clear winner. While I love GOTG: MB (especially Monsters after dark) the OG ToT remains the superior ride.

I feel the London portion of Peter Pan is more elaborate and better done at WDW but feel the Neverland portion is better in DL. I also feel some parts of Fantasmic are better on each coast, and MK has the best firework show currently. Space in Florida is a better coaster, but DL’s Space simulates space flight much better. JC I like better at DL, I’ll take the Piranha attack any day over the temple.

 

[correcaminos]

It's mostly a toss up to me on this one. I gave the tiny edge to WDW for the indoor queue.

 

[KellBelle]

I like the DL one better, but I grew up going on it, so that might be why.
