Disneyland vs. Walt Disney World Disneyland and Disney World are two different parks, located on opposite sides of the country.

Quick Tips on How to Save Money at Disney World

A  Disney trip can be expensive. Luckily, Disney Darling Blog has some tips and tricks to save money at Walt Disney World:  1.
