Disney: West Coast vs. East Coast

So which is better? DisneyLand, or DisneyWorld? Hard to say, they're both actually pretty good. Now as I go to DisneyLand as often as possible, I'll admit some bias toward DL, but I'm trying to be as objective as possible. At WDW, it's about 50 times more spread out than DL. It is pretty fun getting to see all the familiar rides & such, but with a different twist. For example: there's no Indiana Jones ride out here. Instead, there's an Indiana Stunt show. But-they do have the "don't pull the rope" thing. Only it's outside along a walkway instead of in the line.

Space Mountain: DisneyLand wins hands down. The entrance & line are cool, but the ride itself is slow & jerky. Speaking of jerky... Star Tours. Pretty much exactly the same, but imagine a bottle of ranch dressing when it's almost empty and you shake it hard to get the last bit of ranch to the top so you can squeeze it out. Now imagine that you're in the bottle and it's Star Tours. Now imagine that for about 30 consecutive shakes.

The Rocking Roller Coaster however was sick! It takes off just like California Screaming, but into a pitch black building and immediately into a loop. It only got better from there.

All in all a good day. Me & Stacy decided to skip Playhouse Disney with the rest of the crew & headed over to a few other attractions & had a great time.We finished off the day with Fantasmic. I haven't seen it at DL yet, but I'm told it's way better there.

Tomorrow: Epcot, which stands for "Experimental Prototype City of Tomorrow."

See ya!
