(#3) The Disneyland Haunted Mansion Gets A 'Nightmare Before Christmas' Makeover For The Holidays
Both Disneyland and Disney World include The Haunted Mansion — a ride that takes attendees through a home filled with ghosts and other spooky creatures — but only Disneyland gives their mansion a special seasonal makeover called Haunted Mansion Holiday.
This annual overlay transforms the ride into a journey involving the characters from A Nightmare Before Christmas. Since the decorations are appropriate for both Halloween and Christmas, Haunted Mansion Holiday goes up in late September and continues through the end of the year.
(#10) Disneyland Came First
On July 17, 1955, Walt Disney's dream of opening a theme park filled with magic and nostalgia came true. Disneyland opened in Anaheim, CA, and was an instant success. Disney took a hands-on approach to creating the park, and Disneyland is actually the only Disney park he ever set foot in. Disney World opened in 1971, half a decade after Disney passed away in 1966. The legacy of Disney's vision is one of the main reasons why it's hard for any of the other Disney parks to top the original.
(#12) You Can See All Of Disneyland In One Day
The Disneyland Resort consists of two parks: the original Disneyland and Disney's California Adventure. Both parks are right next to each other, so you can easily go from one to the other, and probably check out all the rides and attractions that you want to see in one day.
Meanwhile, Disney World is made up of four unique parks: the Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Disney's Hollywood Studios, and Disney's Animal Kingdom. On the one hand, that means Disney World offers a little more variety than Disneyland, but if you want to see more than one park in a day, doing so will be more of a chore. Plus, the parks are scattered throughout the marshes of Orlando, so get ready to spend a good portion of your day waiting in line for the monorail.
(#8) Disney's California Adventure Has The California Screamin' Coaster
Disney parks are known for having tamer rides, but there are still a handful of roller coasters for those who like an adrenaline rush. Of all Disney's coasters, many consider California Screamin' at Disney's California Adventure (part of Disneyland Resort) to be the very best. It includes a 108-foot drop, a loop, and the cars can go from 0-55 mph in four seconds.
(#2) The Pirates Of The Caribbean Ride Is Way More In-Depth At Disneyland
Both Disneyland and Disney World have a Pirates of the Caribbean ride, which inspired the movie franchise of the same name. However, the ride at Disneyland has a little bit more to offer guests. The Disneyland version features two drops, whereas the Disney World ride has only one. Additionally, Disneyland's Pirates ride has more special effects, such as wind blowing from cannons and shadowy projections of pirates fighting. To top it off, Disneyland's ride lasts for over 15 minutes, whereas Disney World's clocks in at around eight.
(#5) Disneyland Has Walt Disney's Apartment
At Disneyland, visitors are given the opportunity to connect with Walt Disney himself via the Walk in Walt's Disneyland Footsteps guided tour. Since Disneyland was the only Disney park that the creator ever set foot in, this tour takes attendees behind the scenes, and gives them the inside scoop on what it was like when Disney and his crew were first creating the park.
Disneyland also features the creator's secret apartment, which is located above the fire station. While the park was under construction, Disney would often stay there overnight while shuttling back and forth between Anaheim and Los Angeles. The only downside is that the apartment is no longer officially part of the tour.
