Thu 9/13/2007 6:19a | I think it took me visiting 3 resorts in a fairly short (16 month) period of time to see the differences. Not everyone has the luxury.
Now... if I can just get to those asian parks... |

And even though there are some awesome offerings in the swampland of Florida, the quality can fall short of the other Disney resorts around the globe. |

Sat 9/15/2007 4:22p | My family and I visited London, Ireland and Paris in June - the people in Ireland were by far the most friendly and accomodating to us as foreign visitors with London and Paris being about equal in terms of their hospitality.
We only had 2 days in Paris so we didn't have time to go to DLP - I went there two years ago and found it a great park, certainly cleaner and nicer than WDW which we visited last year.
Disneyland remains the family favorite but since we live within 40 minutes of that park our opinion could certainly be influenced by geography and proximity.

Yeah, Dave, and most Americans shop at WalMart, think the Olive Garden is Italian cuisine and believe we have the best healthcare and educational systems on the planet.
In other words, ignorance is bliss.
In May I visited WDW, DLP and DL all in the same month ... after seeing DLP and DL and then heading to the MK, I truly felt like I was going from Saks to Nordstrom to SuperWalmart.
But that's just one worldly Spirit's take ... |

Tue 9/18/2007 9:26p | lol ... still love that line.
We did WDW, DL and DLP in the course of 6 months. So I get it.
TDL really gets to see the parks back to back and offers a great perspective.

Fri 9/21/2007 2:15a | I've seen WDW MK, DLP and DL as well - it does seem like DLP and DL had a certain sparkle and feeling of clean detail not found at MK - but I would think that the extreme weather conditions of Florida might have something to do with that as well as the scale of the MK park (it just seems so much more massive in size than the smaller DLP and smaller still DL parks) |

Fri 9/21/2007 8:53a | DLer - the MK is actually smaller than DLP. Believe it or not, DLP is the biggest of the MK parks around the globe. |

Fri 9/21/2007 9:04a | It certainly feels the biggest of the 3 I have seen. Seems to be alot of room for expansion in Frontierland and Adventureland in particular. |

Fri 9/21/2007 4:35p | The lands at DLP are all huge, with lots of expansion possibilities. Its the scale of the Hub and the Castle which makes it feel a lot more intimate than Florida and the Tokyo MK. |

Fri 9/21/2007 5:34p | ^^Interesting- it did have that Disneyland-ish charm, maybe that is partially why.
At WDW MK, I am awed at the hub, in comparison. |
