Why California is the TRUE Theme Park Capital of the World.

Then you have TMK, a watered-down touristy version of DL. The worst thing you can say about that park and the truest. It just doesn't know what it wants to be. It's DL-esque but without the atmosphere and fun of quaint old charming DL. So then what good is it?

It's not an awful park... it still has it's moments. Does it hold a candle to DL? Heck no, not even close. But to people who have no intention of ever visiting Anaheim, it's still a great - but flawed - park when you take it's better looking sibling out of the equation. Also consider MK at WDW plays a lesser role than DL here at the DLR. It is one piece of a significantly larger package, whereas DL park is really the main reason why anyone sets foot in the city of Anaheim.

Just stop everyone , the only ones who believe California is the theme park capital of the world are Californians, and maybe a few from surrounding states. If you were to poll foreigners and the entire USA population where they would likely fly to for theme parks how many would say Anaheim,CA and surrounding areas ? How many would say Orlando ? I think the answer is fairly obvious

The only theme park that feels truly unified is Disneyland. I think it's the idea behind the park and how it's changed and grown while remaining fundamentally the same over the years. The other parks feel like they've outlived their original thematic intentions and have become quite random with their additions while much of what remains feels stale!

This may be correct , but to most ther just isn’t enough disneyland to fill a week long vacation , for most probably a nice weekend. Most of the people I know that love WDW also don’t love the idea of staying in an outdated motel on Harbor either when you have the resort and dining options at WDW. Disneyland is great , but Walt was smart enough 50 years ago to know that the location was flawed beyond repair
