The weather is great at Anaheim Disneyland a lot more than it is great at Orlando. (unless you love heat and humidity or hurricane warnings...)

Thanks for the update on Pirates NeoPatrick. It has been a while since we were at Disneyworld, but are going there soon so will check it out.

The Florida version of Pirates of the Caribbean will never match the awesomeness of the California version.

The DL version is 3 to 4 times as long as the WDW version.

Both now sport "movie" tie-ins, and they do share similar scenes, but DL has more, for sure.

:-)

I correct my previous post. I thought the modifications made to the ride at Disney World now matches the ride to DisneyLand, but checking the comparison of all the facts on Wikpeida, I see that the Disney World version actually has 3 more animatronic figures than the DisneyLand version. But the DisneyLand one is 16 and a half minutes long as compared to 8 and a half minutes long -- so it is slightly less than twice as long (but certainly not "3 to 4 times" as long).

Ok, so I exaggerated a bit -- but after riding the WDW version for years and years, getting on the DL version for the first time a few years back...well, it felt longer! :-)

Anywho....getting back on track -- I still feel like Disneyland is worth the trip to those that love all things Disney...

It's funny that I honestly don't remember a difference between the two, but the Pirates in Disneyland Paris -- now that was neat -- pretty much the same, but of course everyone was yelling in French! And the Haunted Mansion exterior in France was totally different -- looking like the Psycho house --duh, of course -- the US versions would just look like a typical local building to most Parisians!
