    This is true. We are from California and have visited Disneyland countless times. We are currently at WDW. We noticed a huge difference. Disneyland is magical, the details are unmatched. You can feel Mr. Disney’s presence in the parks. It’s so charming and whimsical. Earthquakes are normal in California, no big deal. California’s weather is soooo much better too. Warm during the day and cool and crisp at night. Florida’s weather is hot and humid- think wet sauna 🥵. WDW is massive and probably not a good idea for babies or older people. At WDW, we noticed hundreds of people plopped over trying to catch their breath. The weather is no joke. We had a great time at Disney world, but we are so grateful for Disneyland in California. Nothing beats the size, the magic, the weather, and Mr. Disney’s original dream. Oh yeah, Disneyland is centrally located in Orange County too. The beach is only 30 minutes away. In, addition, LA is about 45 minutes away. There is so much to do in California During our WDW trip, we drove to 2 hours to Tampa/Clearwater. Yes, clearwater is gorgeous, I’ll give you that. We also went to cocoa beach- not so good. Kinda run down. In a nutshell, Disneyland is my pick. I hope this helps. Thank you for all the great info. PS yes!!! The churros are better in California. Florida’s moisture affects the crispness 🐭 🏰 🧚

    I love Disneyland! Here on vacation! So much easier to navigate then all of Walt Disney, can actually cover all of the ground in 7 days, and I find it more affordable overall! Only have to pay for one Uber to and from the airport when you stay within the mile or so radius from the park! Thanks for thinking of us Disneyland lovers! 🎉❤

    I always think that Disneyland is my favorite because it started it all and is compact and adorable. I like that Small World is a stand alone ride with it's elaborate clock. When I use to go to Disneyland, last time in 1991, I always winged it since I like all the rides and was able to get on most of them.

    Rule of thumb from a former CM... If fireworks and nightly extravaganzas are a huge deal, do not go WHILE SCHOOL IS IN SESSION. A lot of the reason nighttime shows go dark is because of Disneyland's extremely close proximity to the actual city of Anaheim, and as such Anaheim will curtail the noise issues for school nights by prohibiting the fireworks. The same issue occurs with Knott's Berry Farm in Buena Park. So if fireworks are a BFD, then you'll have to deal with the additional crowds associated with weekends and school vacation periods.

    I really don't understand why people are surprised by the single rider lane preventing them from riding as a group, that's the point of it, it's for single riders. If they want to ride as a group, they should either use the regular lane or buy a lightning lane.

Hopefully we can get tickets; I think we're gonna plan it a bit tomorrow since we'll all be in one spot and can actually do that without the risk of jobs getting in the way (aka, having to try a virtual chat).

    We were at Disney World on 9-11 with our nine children! Although the parks were immediately evacuated, one could not help but be impressed with the procedures Disney had in place. I clearly remember over the loud speakers hearing the park was being closed due to circumstances beyond their control, followed by announcing “Employees, Code B”! The evacuation was handled as calmly and professionally as possible. Unfortunately, we were evacuated again from the Fort Wilderness Cabins the next day due to the landfall of Hurricane Gabriela! What are the chances????

    Personally, the thing most surprisingly to me, was the standby queue for Rise of the Resistance closes at 10:00 pm, even if the park is open until midnight. I did not think they did a good job of advertising this. We tend to get Genie+, because we spend one day doing both parks. It's so easy to park hop and while there are rides without Lightning Lane between both parks there are so many that have it. And unlike in FL, since so many people are locals who won't pay for it, you can actually use it a lot. If you're DVC there is an additional fee you need to pay for every day of your stay in a DVC unit in uncollected taxes and it is far higher than the amount collected at Aulani. The DVC lounge is also so much nicer than the one in Epcot.

    I do have ti say this about Genie Plus at Disneyland, if you are coming with you family and want to do pictures its worth getting it for one person, that way you can use it for your picture day,. All your matching shirts, in front of the castle, the falcon, in you best bond. I usually do it for one day just for there pics and I am s single person. Because Disneyland photographers ROCK. I love to Batuu bound and gotten some AMAZING SHOTS from them. It is worth it for a family of 4 for one person to get it just for the pics.

    Southern California born and raised (and still here). Though Disneyland thankfully acts out of an abundance of caution, the magnitudes listed for this video are often not even noticeable unless you are very close to the epicenter. Earthquakes above a 5 can be something to pay attention to, but honestly, they don't hit very often.

    Disneyland has 4 WAV [wheelchair accessible vehicle] rides, California Adventure has 5. Each land has about 1 ride that is completely accessible, except for Batuu [0], Grizzly Peak [0], Toon Town[0], Carsland [0], Tomorrowland [2] and Pixar Pier [3]. There are also transferable rides which are more common and have specific Transfer & Load areas so that you don't have to worry about taking a long time to get on and off each ride. I'm a cast member at Midway Mania and Jessie's Carousel, both WAV rides, and cast members are very well trained to accommodate all guests. The main downside is that we can only accommodate 1 non-transferable wheelchair user at a time unless there is very high demand... in which case we can accommodate 2 at Mania. The best way to remediate this is to reach out to Disney directly and express disappointment [and even threaten to never return] at the lack of WAV rides--- honestly, a lot more rides could be WAVs that aren't. That being said, we get a lot of return WAV riders, even over the period of a long trip or our DL locals, and I've gotten to know several of our accessibility buddies pretty well. We love return guests, so we might just be able to give you a little extra magic.
