Originally Posted By Spirit of 74 Oh goody, a DL vs. MK pissing thread! I love these ... FWIW, on an attraction basis, very few attractions that exist in both parks are better at MK. Mansion is NOW, but only by a smidge. BTMRR has always been better, although I've never seen it in worse show condition than last month. Splash Mountain is when it is in top show quality, again something that happens infrequently. I haven't been on it since last summer so I can't say. SW used to be, but now isn't at all (even with DL's truncated ending). You might argue Pooh is better in O-Town, but DL's true hundred acre woodlike setting pushes it over MK's tired 1970s facade. Everything else that exists in both parks is vastly superior in DL. Need to keep posts like this on speed paste/dial.

The Beast's library at DCA is very very cool- so I am not too discouraged by the meet and greet attractions- yet... Dont get me wrong, DL's is great but very small and crowded. It will be nice they will both be different instead of cloning. Mark www.InsightsandSounds.blogspot.com

Originally Posted By Dreamerica Disneyland's Fantasyland may be smaller but it has a huge Line-up of attractions compared to MK's, which makes it feel larger. The Matterhorn alone puts it way ahead of MK's Fantasyland. Not to mention Alice, Toad, Casey Jr., Pinoccio, Storybook Land, Sleeping Beauty walk through... Not to mention Dumbo with fountains, Small World that practically has it's own themed area, out door Tea Cups with pretty Chinese lanterns at night...I'll take this Fantasyland any day over MK's wide walkway Fantasyland with not much to do.

When I decided to go to WDW I asked a friend if the Castle there was better than DL's. He said much better. I was a very happy person when I saw Cindy's Castle. To quote Crocodile Dundee, "Now that's a Castle".
