Dawn's Thursday Thirteen, Edition Fourteen: all things Disney
1) It's A Small World - Disney World: it's in a building. Disneyland: it *is* its own building.
2) The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh - Disney World: you ride in a hunny pot. Disneyland: you ride in a beehive.
3) The Haunted Mansion - Disney World: the mansion has a Gothic Revival facade. Disneyland: the theme is a haunted Antebellum mansion *and* it gets redecorated from just before Halloween until just after New Year with a "Nightmare Before Christmas" theme!
4) Mr. Toad's Wild Ride - Disney World: there is only a tribute to it remaining, inside The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh. Disneyland: still has it!
5) "the square" - Disney World: has Liberty Square in Magic Kingdom. Disneyland: has New Orleans Square.
6) same track, different attraction - Disney World: Dinosaur in Animal Kindom. Disneyland: Indiana Jones Adventure.
7) the castle - Disney World: Cinderella Castle. Disneyland: Sleeping Beauty Castle.
8) The Enchanted Tiki Room - Disney World: has been transformed into the The Enchanted Tiki Room (Under New Management), featuring Iago from "Aladdin" and Zazu from "The Lion King." Disneyland: has the *original* Tiki Room.
9) the tree house - Disney World: remains with the original Swiss Family Robinson theme. Disneyland: was remodeled & given a new "Tarzan" theme.
10) The Jungle Cruise - Disney World: there is an Asian temple ruins scene. Disneyland: there is a piranha attack.
11) "the automobile attraction" - Disney World: has Tomorrowland Indy Speedway, which is based on driving a Grand Prix race track. Disneyland: has Autopia, representing a "futuristic look" at a multi-lane highway.
12) "river rapids ride" - Disney World: Kali River Rapids, in Animal Kingdom, is a white water raft ride through the rain forests of India. Disneyland: Grizzly River Run, in Disney's California Adventure, is a rapids ride through a mountain mining camp.
13) Pirates of the Caribbean - Disney World: one drop. eight & a half minute ride. Disneyland: two drops. fourteen & a half minute ride. *way* better than the Disney World version. totally spoiled me.

11 with their own thoughts:
I only know Disney world and always the awful heat ! It was in July not really a month to go there !
I swear you have done that before!
nope! i have done Reflections on California but not this! ;-)
Great T13! I have been to just one also, and in the summer heat (of course, when is it not hot in Florida!). Loved reading the differences :)
I love Disneyworld. I have never visited Disneyland. I haven't been to DW in years but hope to go when I have grandchildren.
Thanks for visiting my T13.
I remember sitting with Grandma on Sunday night, and watching The Wonderful World of Disney. Tinkerbelle would fly out with her magic wand.
Hope to visit one of these magickal places one of these days.
Thanks for sharing & for visiting.

These are great! I have more...
1. Disneyland has no body of water at the end of Main Street. MK has water at the end from the moat.
2. The guns in the Buzz Lightyear ride are stuck in MK, the ones at Disneyland come off for better aiming.
3. The river boat at Disneyland is called the Mark Twain. I think it's called something else at MK.
4. Walt Disney's office is above the Firehouse in Disneyland. In the Magic Kingdom, it's in the castle.
5. The Peoplemover is still working at MK. Disneyland doesn't have it at all.
6. Disneyland has the "manual labor" ride... aka the Canoe boats where you paddle around. MK doesn't have it.
I'm sure I have more, but I can't think of any. :-)
I hate that they took out the Hall Of Presidents!
I'll have to go to both parks to compare!! Great list!
Thanks for visiting the "Garden!"
A piranha attack? Now that sounds much cooler than the wiggly hippo ears. My husband really wants to have our next family vacation be to Florida. I'm not so sure 12 hours of flying with four kids is my idea of a vacation. And then there's the return trip.
Hey, missed you doing this one on Thursday, good topic! For some reason I always thought it odd that the castles were named something different. And what do you think about the new Tiki room? We saw it last fall, I think I sorta liked the old one!
