And if I'm not mistaken this is the first appearance of this new logo, and to top it off it is on a movie based on DLs signiture attraction. What a slap in the face.

Any time that the DL and WDW Magic Kingdoms have a difference in similar attractions, the DL version is significantly better in EVERY instance. What the heck do you want? For a relatively small resort attended mainly by locals Disneyland gets a huge amount of dollars and attention.

Some say that its a composite of the two castles, but to me it looks like MK castle. In the picture I don't think that it matters. In the end DL has the better version of the ride, and the premier was held at DL, not MK.

Originally Posted By Sweeper What is the intention behind the comment "left coasters?" If it's political then you have no idea who lives in Orange County, San Bernadino, San Diego, etc. Californians have loyalty to Disneyland that is a bit over the top. But I'll take it knowing that the intention is good.

I am specifically refering to the new logo at the begining of PotCMC. Actually, it has been mentioned - there's a whole thread about it in the Disney Live Action thread. It's different, and it'll take some getting used to, but I don't care that much. I can't do the "poor us on the left coast" thing. We have Indy, we have the better Space, we have Toad, we have the better Fantasmic, one thing that will never change - Walt built Disneyland first. /cs
Originally Posted By lil_kim2005 I have to admit, I rolled my eyes (figuratively, actually) when I saw they'd replaced Sleeping Beauty Castle with Cinderella's Castle, but that was it. I couldn't care less even if Cinderella's Castle became the Disney icon. It's not like they're closing Disneyland down. Disneyland's already a better, more authentic park than the Magic Kingdom, and no amount of attention or advertisement can change the fact that Disneyland is and always will be Walt's original park. Who cares if people don't know that and would rather venture over to WDW? Less crowds for DL. *puts feet on desk & kicks back*

We recently visited Disneyland with our daughter and it was her first time at DL. She said without question that Disneyland Park was a better park than WDW's Magic Kingdom and by far the best Disney Park she had visited. She also said that she still prefers WDW as an overall destination just because there is so much more to do. Can't everyone live with that? DL is the best park and WDW has more to do.
Originally Posted By SleepingBeauty82 Call be uninformed, but I just thought it was a fancy castle. And a much needed new Disney logo. The old one was a bit out of date. I thought it was cool and I'm staying out of the Left Coast/Right Coast battle! We ain't rappers, ya'll. LOL.
Originally Posted By Dabob2 At any rate, this castle is supposed to be sort of a mix of the castles, so it really wouldn't be "replacing" DL with WDW. In fact, I was sort of surprised when I saw the (until Pirates) current Walt Disney Pictures debut with a castle that was so clearly Sleeping Beauty's rather than a mix.
Originally Posted By Hans Reinhardt "She also said that she still prefers WDW as an overall destination just because there is so much more to do. Can't everyone live with that? DL is the best park and WDW has more to do." Living in San Francisco, (in other words, I'm not a So Cal local) I have to agree 100% with this assessment. If I had a choice of which destination to visit, it would easily be WDW. I could not care less about which park came first and all that other jazz. DLR fans can be a bit ridiculous (especially the locals, it seems) with their obsessive fondness for DL Park.
Originally Posted By Dabob2 Not living in SoCal either, I find we still choose DLR more often. Not only is DL the best park, but we just prefer a SoCal vacation to central Florida, because there are so many more interesting and worthwhile things to do there. If I just wanted a week of theme-park-o-rama, I guess yeah I'd choose WDW (and we do enjoy going there), but if I wanted to do things besides theme parks (and we do), it's no contest: SoCal over central Fla. (Plus except for about 2 months, the weather is so much better!)

Originally Posted By RoadTrip <<It depends. Most of the year Orlando is too hot and muggy for my taste to enjoy WDW.>> It all depends when you go. We just got back from a trip to DL which was largely based on the weather (though it ended up being hotter than Orlando was those days, but less humid). We usually go to WDW in January and I have no doubt that Orlando in January is nicer than Anaheim in January. I love both DL and WDW. I really don't understand why it is such an issue.
