It’s the great debate among Disney fans: which is the better parks and resorts? The originals out west with Disneyland and California Adventure? Or the East Coast parks and resort at Walt Disney World? Can we come to a final decision?
A behind the scenes look at what a former worker at Disney World, Silver Dollar City, and Busch Gardens Florida experienced in his time working at the parks. From driving large safari trucks around live wild animals while cracking one silly joke after another, to spending 5 years as a #PhotoPass photographer at #WaltDisneyWorld and seeing and experiencing all sorts of things, to being a conductor and #trainrobber on the famous Frisco Silver Dollar Line at #SilverDollarCity. With 10 years of working in the parks, there’s lots of stories to tell. Here is some of them…
Not only did I work in theme parks for 10 years, I’ve visited a whole lot of them as well. Here’s some stories of great visits, not so great visits, favorites, reviews, and much more.

Nice WillowDeb!
They have Gaston at Disneyland. They had him at WDW first, but he's been at Disneyland for several years now. Evil Queen, Cruella and Gaston are there all year long, while the other Villainesses are there near Halloween, and I think may occasionally make special appearances through out the year.
There are several spots that any of the Fantasyland characters might be at, and there might even be several of them together. That is one thing that is different at Disneyland is having the different characters from different stories interacting with each other.
I believe Cruella is usually on Main Street somewhere.
Always tough Questions😅I wasn´t yet in the OG so therefore WDW is the best yet (since it has 4 parks it is mostly not that bad) But I would love seeing all of them and all has special things. The best Castle is Shanghai (since it is a real building but close with Paris ones) than WDW, than DL CA since it has the smallest than HONGKONG than TOKYO.
Food wise they having all delicious things and interesting Restaurant Themed Areas and The Rides are special around the Globe some similiar but some are exclusively unique in their own way.
Happy will be in Paris one in 40+days so that will hopefully be something Special since 3 decades has passed since I was there with my family.
Trails End unfortunately it will change
DL CA has better night time at the moment both 100yrs seems to be a sweet Nighttime Fun so far, maybe WDW will come with some new but obvious some would like happily ever after more than new wondreous journey. 😂
Star Wars Show in Hollywood Studios In a Galaxy far far away or the one at the night was also cool missed those as well back in 2019 was able to watch all those nighttime shows the same night first fantasmic than the 90yrs Special and than the Star Wars one at the end so it was pretty magical HOT but magical.
Queen of Hearts in Halloween Parties is meetable but yeah not other than on those sadly others as well like Ariel and Eric or Belle and Guston also only together at not so scary parties like the seven dwarfs but only pre-pandemic.
Thankfully the silly Circus Characters coming back and Ariel´s Grotto and others hopefully will return this year as well.
We having at least Winnie the Pooh lurking on the grass in Epcot try to catching butterflies what they did since the pandemic last 2 yrs.
for some in Galaxy´s Edge some would say DL is better since there they having MANDO with GROGU slendering around, and in Disney World haven´t seen them much last year doing it maybe I´ve seen Morandi those special Character just for Batuu but not really a Show like before sadly.
