Smooth and sweet, and whimsical and magical to boot! ***But just like Disney paid the money to ship talent like Mr X out to Tokyo*** In fairness, TDL does this when the talent they are looking for CAN'T be found in Japan at all, OR if they're looking for a particular "type" in terms of face characters that can't be easily found in Japan. ***they could similar to WDW, or have cast members work in rotation around the resorts (great experience opportunities)*** A rotation system would be neat, but I would imagine also rather costly.

I like Magic Kingdom, and I wish it the best, but when I'm there I just feel so much is missing.

In fact that's a common comeback when this discussion comes up (been a while here ... maybe 2009 since our last?). Comparing WDW to DLR might be apples and pomegranates. But comparing DL to MK is very fair indeed. They are the same type of park. DL was the template for MK (as well as TDL, DLP and HKDL). The bigger is better argument fails miserably in my book because it is a different discussion. Many folks (shockingly) don't visit all four Disney parks ... so the fact TPFKaTD-MGMS has Star Tours doesn't matter etc ... What matters in this discussion is how MK stacks up with its sibling in Anaheim and I can tell you uncatgegorically the answer is 'not well ... not well, at all'. I would honestly place DL, TDL (without even visiting yet), and DLP above MK is all the important categories from show quality to variety to merchandise ... HKDL almost even rates higher (and I know I'll get far more enjoyment there in a few weeks than I did at MK last week) because it is near pristine, show quality is amazing, cast is amazing, food quality is great (although not huge variety), entertainment and seasonal offerings blow MK away ... it's only the lack of attractions that keeps HKDL below MK for me in an objective rating (again, I'd rather be there than MK any day). Sure, WDW has more to offer than DLR does, but that's not the point.
