Just read the whole thread - couple of comments:
1. I am a paralegal.
2. The WDW boards are vicious - that has always been my home until the past few months and must say this area of the Dis is refreshing.
3. Been to WDW 20+ times. Never been to DL - going in 3 weeks.
4. WDW can be for purists too!
I consider myself a Disney purist and I love MK and always will because that is where all my childhood memories are. Calling it a knockoff is a little hurtful.
Just because people do not make it their "main" resort does not make them any less of a purist than people who regularly attend DL. Some of us in the East can not go West everytime we need a magic fix.
5. IMO there is room for all Disney parks. Are they all the same? no (this is a good thing), Do they each have their own set of issues? yes. But, there is room for each of them in their own right. I am sure while at DL I am going to think to myself from time to time that I miss WDW, but I am also looking forward to seeing new things and experiencing a different resort.
I guess I just come from a place of thinking that if you want WDW - go to WDW. We chose to go to DL to experience the DIFFERENCES not have a carbon copy of all of our WDW trips. I do agree that the "Disneyland sucks" comment was opening yourself up to some people becoming defensive. Just like I would be if someone said WDW sucks.
But please please please........for everyone who is a DL die hard, please do not group people who visit WDW regularly as non-purists. That is an incorrect statement. We all can love Disney and everything it stands for and not visit DL on a regular basis and still be enamored with everything Walt envisioned. Eventhough Walt could not be a part of WDW's planning and opening, I am sure if he was able to see the WDW resort today, he would be proud of the accomplishments. Then be pissed about the empty buildings in Epcot.
