15 Things You Can Do At Disneyland That You Can’t Do At Disney World

Disney theme parks are the ultimate family fun experience and a dream trip for many people. Both Disneyland in California and Disney World in Florida offer lots of Disney characters, great rides, outstanding food, and extensive shopping opportunities. However, just because they are similar, doesn’t mean they offer the exact same experience. Did you know about these 15 things you can do at Disneyland that you can’t do at Disney World?  

Visit the Original Disney Theme Park

This might be obvious, but we have to admit that there is just something about experiencing the one and only original Disney Park. All the Disney properties are great, but it is cool to know you are walking where the founder walked. You can see his exact vision of a fun family theme park at Disneyland. 

Check Out Walt Disney’s Apartment

Walt Disney himself had an apartment on Main Street, U.S.A. He first used it to oversee the development of his park and later brought his family there as a retreat once the park was complete. The light still glows in the window above the firehouse in his memory. The only way to visit the apartment is on Walt’s Main Street Story tour at Disneyland.

See Where Disneyland Was Born

The story goes that Walt Disney was inspired to build his first park while watching his kids on the carousel at Griffin Park in Los Angeles. The actual bench he was sitting on and the carousel horses his kids were riding are on display at Disneyland. 

Walk Between the Parks

California Adventure is directly across from Disneyland, so you can easily walk from one park to the other. On the other hand, when visiting Disney World in Florida, the parks are spread out and not so easily traversed. You will want to catch a ride from one park to the another at Disney World.
