What rides are different in DL compared to DW, must do's?

[wendyt_ca]

Me and DH are going to Vegas in 3 weeks and just decided to make a day trip to DL. We have never been to DL before but are going on our 4th DW trip in Nov. Since we only have the day we want to plan wisely since we will only have the one day for the 2 parks and seeing as a month later we are going to DW we figure rides that are identical there is no point in us going on them except ToT. So what rides are the same and what ones have changes and what is different in them? I believe I heard Pirates is different, is that right. I know HM will be with HMH setup. What about Splash? And is there anything that DW doesn't have that would be must do's?

You need to ride space, Pirates, the Haunted Mansion, Indy Mr Toads wild ride Screamin for sure.

I only road spash once at wdw so I don't remember it well, but that might be a must do. The que at Thunder is better at DL, but the ride was better at wdw.

I'm sure others will have more.

Splash is a little different, and in the DL version you don't sit next to each other. You sit in a row.

Pirates, Indiana for sure & the HM for sure.

Absolutely Indy and Matterhorn! Not in WDW. Also Mr. Toad's, Alice, and Toontown proper.
Pirates, Small World, and untampered with Tiki Room are all better at DL.
Jungle Cruise, Splash Mountain, Haunted Mansion, are all just a little better in WDW in my opinion.

This.

Plus Space Mountain will have its Halloween theme, Ghost Galaxy which is very different than WDW's. I would also recommend Roger Rabbit but it will be closed starting the 20th. Also Pinocchio and Storybookland Canal Boats are worth checking out if you've never been on them before. And Buzz is also better at DL.

At CA GRR is 10 times better than Kali. We also think Monster's Inc. the ride great too. Peter Pan is much better at DL but they DO NOT have FP ! Lines get long early !
