The official tagline for Disneyland is "The Happiest Place On Earth", while the tagline for Magic Kingdom is "The Most Magical Place On Earth". Up until the early 1990s, Magic Kingdom was officially known as Walt Disney World Magic Kingdom', and was never printed without the Walt Disney World prefix.

Magic Kingdom Park is arguably the most famous Walt Disney World® Resort theme park of all. Not only does it have six enchanted lands, it's also home to Cinderella Castle. Get ready to hit the highlights of this iconic attraction.

Disney World is made up of many places. Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Hollywood Studios, Animal Kingdom theme parks, Blizzard Beach & Typhoon Lagoon, water parks, Downtown Disney (DisneyQuest is here) and ESPN Wide World of Sports are all part of Disney World. Disney World also contains all the Disney resorts.

Ringing in at a total of 43 square miles - or 27,520 acres - Walt Disney World is substantially larger than its older sibling. The park also has grown and it now covers 47 square miles.

Theme plays a significant part in what makes Disney World so magical. It immerses guests in a completely different world – one that most people only experience on their screens.

Outside of the rides and fireworks and shows, we love the smaller details. The smells, tastes and ways that Disneyland stimulates the dopamine receptors in our brains are what make for the Happiest Place on Earth at Disneyland. Other theme parks have rides, thrills, characters and shows too.

A New Perspective of the Magic Kingdom For example, the bricks become smaller the higher the castle climbs. Disney theme park Imagineers call it the forced perspective technique. The brilliant technique makes the castle looks taller than it would if all the bricks were the same size.

With multiple areas to choose from, there is plenty to do here to not only keep you occupied for a whole day, but many days. It's got the castle, the parades, Princesses, Mickey Mouse, and everything that makes Disney, Disney. All the classic rides are here, so you can still have that iconic Disney experience.

What is the Best Disney World Theme Park?

• Magic Kingdom- best overall, best entertainment, and something for everyone in your group.
• Epcot- best adult theme park and most things to do.
• Disney's Hollywood Studios- best thrill rides and best park for teens.

Disneyland is smaller, features fewer theme parks and hotels and costs less than Walt Disney World. Walt Disney World is a sprawling complex that encompasses four theme parks, more than two dozen hotels and other attractions to boot.

How many rides are there at Disney World? There are a total of 173 rides at Disney World Orlando.

Universal is much similar to Disneyland in size - so a lot smaller than Disney World, which is 27,000 acres. As detailed by Orlando Park Stop, with the addition of Epic Universe (it's being built on 750 acres), the resort as a whole will nearly double in size. But, just because Universal is smaller isn't a bad thing.
