Why is there so much hatred from Californians towards Florida? Walt Disney himself was planning on building Walt Disney World. It didn't turn out how he wanted, but he is still a very strong part of the history of our parks. Speaking of history, we also have a very rich history in the parks and resorts.
I always grew up watching the World of Color episodes and old cartoons. Walt was as much a part of my life as any Californian, and probably more than most. Walt's plane is parked in Hollywood Studios. I grew up listening to the music of Disneyland as well as Disney World. I never knew of the hatred until the internet and until I went there myself. I'll be first to admit that our maintenance is lacking, and they make a lot of decisions that don't make sense. That doesn't mean that we've lost all of the great history, music, and memories from our parks.
When I go to WDW, I don't think "Disneyland sucks, we are better," I just have a good time. I like both. You guys have some things over us, I guess. It only takes a short drive to get there, too bad it's ruined by a horrible parking garage and all the crazy legal stuff there (like the slow trams and extensive safety spiels). You can continue to hate something that has "the blessing of size" rather than your cramped little version of the Magic Kingdom. ;)
BTW, I think our Magic Kingdom parking lot is larger than the entire Disneyland resort.
