Feature: Disneyland vs. Walt Disney World: Ride by Ride, part 2

Mark and Mike continue to discuss those attractions that exist in both Disneyland and Walt Disney World to decide which version of each they like best.

Here’s how it played out:

Mark also teased Walt Disney World for the disappearance of Toontown and teased Disneyland for the PeopleMover no longer functioning.

Listen to the show to find out why they picked what they did! Also, please send us feedback on your picks, but only on these attractions! We’ll ask for your input on the rest of the attractions as we look at them over the last show!

Let us know what you think!

Listener Feedback

Perry Hacker responded to our last show by writing that he loves the new interactive queue at Walt Disney World’s version of The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh.

We heard from Dan the Light Man for the first time in a long time. He met Mark at Walt Disney World since he last called in. He and Nancy the Light Girl haven’t stopped listening, though. Dan and Nancy met Mark in October and got to wander the Food & Wine Festival for a while. Dan also talked about how he and Nancy got to meet Epcot Executive Chef Jens Dahlmann when they asked for help in enjoying the Festival with Nancy’s food allergies. Jens went through kiosk by kiosk, and hand-did a whole menu for them. They went back in February, did a cruise on the Disney Dream and had a great time. Dan had 4 appetizers & 4 main courses in Enchanted Garden, including Mark’s favorite dish, the scallops with asparagus. They got back to land in time to catch the opening of the Epcot International Flower & Garden Festival.

We got a bunch of other new topic suggestions from listeners:

• Chris Salata (via Twitter): Transportation choices while on property – Disney Transport vs Rental Car – real pros and cons to each.
• Mary Tesch (via Facebook): Favorite things to photograph yourself that might be things others wouldn’t think to photograph.
• Paul Jones (via Facebook): How to handle questions/help friends plan trips since you are knon as a “Disney expert”.
• Paul Jones (via Facebook): Maybe some ideas about how to you guys continue to make the trips “new” and exciting even though it is your third, fourth, etc, trip to WDW.
• Leslie Farr (via Facebook): What’s the best way to use transportation ….. buses,boats,monorail,trains,own car.?
• Brian Jonas (via Facebook): Mike and Mark’s all-time personal top 3 Magical Moments from each of the theme parks.

March of Dimes

MousePlanet readers and MouseStation listeners have helped Mark to raise nearly $20,000 for the March of Dimes over the last five years to help save the lives of babies born prematurely. This year, his goal is to raise another $5,000. Mike has also signed on to walk for Team MousePlanet as well. You can go to Mark’s fundraising page to sponsor him, Mike’s fundraising page to sponsor him, or the Team MousePlanet page to join in and walk yourself! If you join us in walking, the money you raise will go to help babies in your area! Help us to provide a better chance to prevent prematurity and to help those babies that are born prematurely, because new parents should take their babies home from the hospital, not to the cemetery.
