Is Disney Land or Disney world better?
trying to decide if the 6 hour flight to L.A from JFK is worth it for the kids, or just do a 3 hour flight down to florida.
Speaking as an ex Disney employee and pretty much a Disney snob, Disneyland will always be better than Disney World if you are a true Disney fan. I don't mean you love the movies and all the collectibles, but the man behind it all, Walt Disney.
Disneyland is so full of history, and the atmosphere from what I was told by other "guests" is more friendlier and magical than from Walt Disney World. The only down side you will find at Disneyland is the lines! Be prepared to wait. Definitely take advantage of the fast past system for any rides your littles want to experience.
I see some say California Adventure was not all that great. I personally love this park. It is not as crowded as Disneyland itself, A World of Color is amazing! If your littles love Pixar they will find them here.
I will not bore you and everyone else with details as to what you can do in each park, guaranteed character experiences and the such though here. I was a travel agent for them for 4 years so if there are any questions you'd like answered please feel free to PM me. When I worked for them I practically lived at the park, exploring every little thing to be better able to help when people called wanting to come out to visit us.
Sadly I am not too knowledgeable on Walt Disney World so my opinion will be biased.
