@owlmom: I need to remember to bring some on my trip. When I get sick, I also get grumpy. I don't know why I didn't think to take meds beforehand. Well, probably because the last trip was to Disneyland and it was the worse I've been. DH would go on rides without me and I would just kill time by shopping and eating.

@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: @Meow:

OMG the Harry potter ride made me SO sick, I couldn't do anything else for an hour and felt queasy for the whole day. I thought I would be fine since I love Soarin at Epcot and don't usually get motion sickness!

I did enjoy the walk through though, all the shops were neat and the wand show was pretty cool. I went with a Harry potter fanatic so it was fun to see it through her eyes. I prob wouldn't go back because it was very $$ admission and I'm more of a disney girl myself

@sunny: there is also sea world and universal studios in Cali, not too far from Disneyland.

For quality, Disneyland.
For quantity, Disney World.

I've felt like the places where they overlap (the Magic Kingdom, basically - It's a Small World, Space Mountain, Mr Toad's Wild Ride) - Disneyland does it better. For a short trip or trip with kids who will focus time in that area anyway, I'd go with Land. But for a wider experience with more options, or a longer trip, it's gotta be the World.

I've been to both and I MUCH prefer Disneyland. I'm from CA though and have been going since I was little. My main reasons for liking it better though are; weather is better in California, the historical aspect of Disneyland is magical (I'm such a cheesy kid at heart lol), California Adventures is a blast and there's a lot more to do in Southern California if you're there for vacation...you can always do the beach, Sea World, San Diego Wild Animal Park, etc etc etc

@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: To be honest, I don't remember much of the castle. Again, not to detract from the thread and I hate to be such a downer but the whole thing was a bit of a disappointment cause it was smaller than I expected and most stores were exterior only. I'd love to go to the actual WB set in England one day.

Been to both. World is way better. Walt Disney created Land first and said when he did World he was going to plan better and do it right. He did. Other parks nearby too.
