Disneyland vs. Walt Disney World Disneyland and Disney World are two different parks, located on opposite sides of the country. As mentioned in this post , it is a common misconception that Disneyland and Disney World are the same thing.  Disneyland is the first Disney theme park ever, opening in 1955. It is located in Anaheim, California, near Los Angeles.  Disneyland has two different parks: Disneyland Park (with the castle), and Disney's California Adventure (or DCA). Disneyland also has three hotels and the Downtown Disney shopping district.  Walt Disney World is located in Bay Lake, Florida, near Orlando.

Top 5 Rides That Are Better At Night


5. Test Track
This ride is mostly indoors, but everyone's favorite part where the car tests speed goes outside. And zooming over guest's heads at night with the track all lit up in neon is very cool experience.



4. The Jungle Cruise
I have ridden the Jungle Cruise at all times of the day: first thing in the morning, at sunset, at night, in the afternoon...and nighttime is my favorite. The atmosphere is very different and adds to the feeling that you really are in the middle of a jungle. The dark may make it more difficult to see what your boat will encounter next, but that just adds to the surprise and excitement.




3. The People Mover
All of Tommorrowland is just better at nighttime. The neon lights and stars overhead can make you feel like you are in outterspace. All of Tomorrowland becomes more vibrant and exciting at night. The People Mover takes you all around that land to see just how stellar it is.



2. Dumbo
Why would you ride Dumbo during any other time? The water fountain surrounding the ride lights up in a rainbow of different colors. This definitely makes the ride more fun!


1. Tower of Terror
Okay so much of ToT is indoors. But sometimes during the drops you can see outside. You can see the rest of the park from the top of  ToT and seeing the view of a lit up Hollywood Studios from over 100 feet in the air is stunning. Also, riding at night adds to the spooky feel of the attraction.

Your Guide To The Attractions at Walt Disney World's EPCOT

Often described as “science fair meets world's fair” EPCOT is definitely a park that helps set Walt DIsney World apart from the rest of the DIsney parks around the world.  EPCOT is often branded as the park for adults, as drinking is a popular activity here. However, there are plenty of things for kids of all ages to do.  Thrill Rides The thrill rides at EPCOT are roller coasters or flight simulators with intensity. These rides may not be for the faint of heart (or short of inches).  Mission: SPACE Mission: SPACE is a flight simulator ride, You’ll board a rocket like an astronaut and launch into space. This ride can be intense, so there are two versions. The Green mission around Earth is a better option for those who become nauseous easily. There is a 40 inch height requirement. The Orange mission to Mars, on the other hand, spins to replicate G-forces. You must be 40 inches (102 cm) to board the Orange mission, and free of serious health conditions. Still, this is a fun one for as
