As opposed to artificial mountains, bodies of water, animals, presidents, space ships, and castles? What exactly is your point? We’re talking about theme parks, not national parks.

I have to agree, and I've never visited WDW.

We have artificial things, too. What's the difference?

Can't just say things that don't make sense for the sake of the resort you prefer, folks.

Only been to Disneyland once and at my age how many rides there are just isn’t that important to me. Both resorts have the same Disney magic and even though Walt didn’t make it to the opening there are plenty of things that have his touch. Someone mentioned the benches at Disneyland, I think more disappear every year at WDW never can find anyplace to sit in Epcot. It’s easy to compare which ride is better or the layout of the parks and to me it seems like DLR people start most of these threads trying to say west coast is better. Say whatever you want the castle in Magic Kingdom is grand and when I saw Disneyland’s castle I was so disappointed.

This thread was started because a WDW fan asked why anyone would prefer the DLR over WDW, in a thread created in the WDW sub-forums, so...

Both sides are guilty of creating threads to purposefully make arguments as to why their preferred resort is better. Many WDW fans solely come to this sub-forum to defend and talk about WDW (I don't think I've ever seen you around these parts on a consistent, daily basis, for example). People naturally want to talk about why whichever resort is better. There's nothing wrong with that.

BTW, the west coast IS better than the east coast. ;)

Minimal theming in resort hotels.

Are you saying there is minimal theming in the hotels at WDW or that you think they don’t do minimal theming as well as DL? If the former, I’m a bit perplexed at the statement! If the latter, I’m not quite sure why you’d want minimal theming at a theme park resort... so either way I’m confused!

I mean the only themed hotel I'd say DL has is the Grand Californian

The Disneyland Hotel is themed, as is Paradise Pier. I use “themed” lightly.

Yeah..it's used very lightly out here beyond Grand Californian, which feels a lot like a WDW resort. Whereas out in Florida, you have properties like the ones below... Half the fun for me (even with kids!) when visiting WDW is resort hopping. The WDW resorts are theme park-like destinations in the own right, offering much to check out even if you're not staying there -- each with very unique restaurants/bars, shops, and things to see/do.

These are beautiful, no doubt. Resort-hopping seems to be a thing a lot of WDW vets do. Personally, I wouldn’t think anything of this because I grew up going to the DLR as a local, where we never, if rarely, got a hotel room, as there was no need for one. It was all about rides and attractions for us, because that was the bulk of the offerings. Food as well.

It’s interesting when you grow up going to either resort, your outlook is different. So while things like onsite resorts and “the bubble” may be factors of consideration for WDW vets, I don’t care about either, and would be more concerned about rides, attractions, and food.

What does WDW do worse than DL? New additions to the parks- up until recently, the MK and Epcot, and the Studios had been left "as is" for way too long. I was surprised after a decade away that there weren't more new things to see.

That theme parks are comprised of beautiful, oftentimes jaw-dropping man/woman-made works of art that simulate real life, but in extraordinary ways? If that’s your point, then sure. Not sure how you net out at it being soulless though.

that WDW is soulless compared to Disneyland no matter what structures they built there.

Some people here are worth having nice rational conversations with, others are not. I appreciate the ones who identify these traits early on. So thank you for that.

I have seen some of your replys, you are not always rational. Sometimes you come out very biased. I like when people show their passive agressive traits early so I should be thanking you.
