I have been to both Orlando and Anaheim recently, here are some details:
  • Orlando is way bigger, with several different Disney themed parks. There are water parks to amusement parks to everything else, but is spread out big time. You need a week or so just to touch the basics, with a car.
  • Anaheim is basically just Disneyland and Universal (there is something else still being built by Disney, I forget the name and I don't know when it opens - actually it is partially open but not complete). If you have time, drive to San Diego or some other attractions that are not Disney related.
  • If you do go to Disneyland, for sure stay at the Candy Cane Inn. They are cheap, clean, great and have a shuttle running back and forth all the time. And they are just a minute or two away. Don't tell anyone about this secret. We were able to leave for nap time and be back again no problem, it is that close, maybe a four minute drive.
  • November is good for Anaheim since the weather is mild but the park is less busy. I don't know what Orlando is like in November, but expect the chance of bad weather.
  • Either way, if you are a parent with kids, a parent can jump a line to try a ride if the kids are too little for it.
  • The great arcades that used to exist in Disneyland are gone, I forget if they are still in Orlando.
  • Expect to pay about $100 per person per day, not including major meals and accommodations.
  • If you are staying for multiple days, get a multi day pass. My family does not need more than two days for Disneyland, and we could probably get by with just one day. The multi day pass is available for several parks, so that can be good as well.
