A very dear friend of mine is getting married in LA this August. DH and I are going out for the wedding and we will be able to take one extra day of leave to go early and spend a day at DL. DCA will have to wait. Seeing as we only have one day we don't want to go to attractions that are basically the same between DL and WDW. I haven't been to DL in 15 years and a lot has changed. Of the following rides that are at both parks which are different. I'm going to have a lot more questions so thanks.

Enchanted Tiki Room
Jungle Cruise
Haunted Mansion
Pirates of the Caribbean
"Honey, I Shrunk the Audience"
"it's a small world"
Peter Pan's Flight
Snow White's Scary Adventure
 
My 2¢

Enchanted Tiki Room <--- Disneylands is MUCH MUCH MUCH better. I almost cried when I walked out of MK's Tiki Room this summer. I had to go in 4 times on my last trip to Dland just to purge my self from that wretched memory.

Haunted Mansion <------I like our ('our' being Dland's) mansion better.

Pirates of the Caribbean <----- ours is longer and better


Please take some time and enjoy New Orleans Square. Although I enjoyed Liberty Square at MK, I missed NOS. and good grief, don't forget to go on the Matterhorn bobsleds!!


Oh and our Great Moments with Mr Lincoln is different...I cant sasy better because its WAYYYY different. Definately more interactive and fun...but not as grand (does that make sense?)
 
Enchanted Tiki Room : The Tiki room is the same as it always has been. The new version at WDW is fun but. It starts out the same for a minute and then veers wildly in another direction.

Jungle Cruise: These are essentially the same except Disneyland does not go inside any temple.

Haunted Mansion: The buildings are very different on the outside. The Disneyland version has stretch rooms at the beginning that actually are elevators and take you down. You walk through the hallway of portaits that you ride through at WDW and WDW's has a couple other scenes at the beginning that Disneyland does not.

Pirates of the Caribbean: It is almost twice as long at Disneyland though they both have almost all the same scenes the one at Disneyland has areas of bayou and caves and longer drops that stretch the ride time out. The last scene at WDW is different.

"Honey, I Shrunk the Audience" This is the same with a slight improvement on the in theater effects.

"it's a small world": The loading areas are very different. At WDW the boats travel through a trough that you can see down below (not as nice looking) but there are a couple more rooms you go through. The last scene at WDW is much better.

Peter Pan's Flight: This ride is shorter at Disneyland but prettier in spots. Each boat operates on its own instead of them all moving and never stopping like at WDW. There is a fun swooping motion that occurs on the Disneyland ride.

Snow White's Scary Adventure: These have a similar feel but many of the same scenes and many different scenes. The DL version ends rather abruptly.
I would make sure you do the very different rides at Disneyland like the Matterhorn, Indianna Jones, Alice in Wonderland and the Storybook land Boats and then try to fit in the things that are similar...except for Pirates and the Haunted Mansion which are always great. It really is fun though to compared the attractions between the two parks.
Hope this helps.
