(#14) At Disneyland, Churros Are Nearly Everywhere
It's hard to get people to agree on snacks, but pretty much everyone knows that the churro is one of the greatest culinary inventions of all time. If you find yourself fiending for some tasty cinnamon-dusted dough while visiting Disneyland, you're in luck. There are 13 different churro carts located inside the park, making them easily available from virtually any section of the establishment. There have even been Oreo churros available on some special occasions. In contrast to this, if you want a churro at Disney World, get ready to hunt. The pastries are only available at two locations, so you may need to go out of your way to fulfill your cinnamon craving. To make things worse, there's no fast pass to cut the churro line at Disney World, so you'd better hope that no one else is hungry for them.

(#7) Character Experiences Are Better At Disneyland
One of the joys of going to a Disney park is getting to meet some of your favorite characters. If you can get a photo with them, that's even better. However, this feat is a little bit easier to accomplish at Disneyland. At the West coast park, characters are often found roaming about, waiting to be stopped by fans for pictures. Additionally, when characters set times for meet-and-greets, the lines are usually shorter at Disneyland.

(#10) Disneyland Came First
On July 17, 1955, Walt Disney's dream of opening a theme park filled with magic and nostalgia came true. Disneyland opened in Anaheim, CA, and was an instant success. Disney took a hands-on approach to creating the park, and Disneyland is actually the only Disney park he ever set foot in. Disney World opened in 1971, half a decade after Disney passed away in 1966. The legacy of Disney's vision is one of the main reasons why it's hard for any of the other Disney parks to top the original.

(#6) Disneyland Has Mr. Toad's Wild Ride
Like many of the classic Disney rides, Mr. Toad's Wild Ride seems silly on the surface, but contains some very dark undertones. The ride recreates The Wind in the Willows, and patrons tag along with an out-of-control driver who crashes into a library, nearly runs over a baker carrying pies, drives into a courthouse, meets a judge who finds him guilty, and eventually drives into Hell.
The whole thing is incredibly ridiculous, and is an absolutely essential part of any trip to Disneyland. It was one of the original rides at the park, and was initially also a feature of Disney World. However, while the Disneyland Mr. Toad is still around, the one at Disney World closed in 1998.

(#2) The Pirates Of The Caribbean Ride Is Way More In-Depth At Disneyland
Both Disneyland and Disney World have a Pirates of the Caribbean ride, which inspired the movie franchise of the same name. However, the ride at Disneyland has a little bit more to offer guests. The Disneyland version features two drops, whereas the Disney World ride has only one. Additionally, Disneyland's Pirates ride has more special effects, such as wind blowing from cannons and shadowy projections of pirates fighting. To top it off, Disneyland's ride lasts for over 15 minutes, whereas Disney World's clocks in at around eight.

(#1) Disneyland Has The 'Indiana Jones' Ride
While Indiana Jones isn't a Disney property, that didn't stop the titular hero from making appearances at various Disney parks. At Disney World, there's the Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectatular, where audience members can "Cheer on Indy and Marion as they perform amazing stunts with blazing special effects to demonstrate movie-making magic," according to the Disney World website.
At Disneyland, there's the Indiana Jones Adventure, which is an actual ride where patrons climb into a disheveled jeep, traverse a rickety bridge, encounter venomous snakes, and (hopefully) avoid getting hit by a giant boulder. It's one thing to watch others perform stunts, but at Disneyland, you actually get to be part of the action.
