I was a Disney World Snob. Having been to WDW since 1971 I thought I had the world by the tail. After all, I was used to going to the "best" Happiest Place on earth. Disneyland surely could not measure up.
What was Disneyland anyway? Sure it was the start of it all, the original, but heck, it would all fit in the parking lot of the Magic Kingdom of WDW. That puny little park with all it's lore could not hold a candle to my Walt Disney World with its over 27,000 acres.
I used to pity the Californians who had never seen WDW but where happy to explore the tiny 300 acres of Disneyland. Oh how misrable they would be if they only knew what they were missing in Florida.
Then one day it happened. I visited Disneyland with full expectations of disappointment. To my shock and pleasure, I had the time of my life. My gosh, maybe there is something to this Disneyland thing after all !
No longer a Disney World Snob, I now enjoy both WDW and Disneyland and I relish the though of going to either.
