Disneyland or disney world?

Is disneyland calif. As good as disneyword florida? Im going to disneyland soon and I was just wondering what all there is to do there and if it is as good as disneyworld?

Disneyland is the original Disney theme park. It was built back in 1955 (Disney World opened in 1971).

Disneyland is much, much smaller than Disney World. Here are the basic facts:

Disneyland Resort
Anaheim, CA
2 theme parks (Magic Kingdom, California Adventure)
3 hotels (Disneyland Hotel, Paradise Pier, Grand Californian)
Downtown Disney shopping area

All of the hotels and theme parks are within 5 minute walk.

Walt Disney World
Orlando, FL
4 theme parks (Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Hollywood Studios, Animal Kingdom)
2 water parks (Blizzard Beach, Typhoon Lagoon)
20+ hotels
Downtown Disney (3 times larger than Disneyland's version)

WDW is spread out over an area the size of Manhattan, and you must use the monorail, buses or cars to get from one place to the next.

So -- one is not necessarily better than the other. Disneyland was the only theme park that Walt Disney ever stepped foot in (WDW opened after he died).

WDW is bigger, and has more attractions, etc.

Compare both:

DISNEYLAND IS AMAZING. I WENT THERE A WHILE BACK BECAUSE I WAS VISITING MY FAMILY IN CALI. I'VE HEARD IT'S BIGGER THAN DISNEYWORLD. BUT I don't know. I DEFINETLY RECCOMEND DISNEYWORLD. =]] HAVE FUN.

I've never been to Disneyland, but Disney World is really fun!
