6. A classic Tomorrowland

Tomorrowland was always meant to be a vision of the future, but as time as passed, it's become an increasingly retro vision of the future. It's been updated over the years, of course, and some things have been lost... and two missing in action classic attractions are still right at home in the Magic Kingdom. Yes, of course we're talking about the PeopleMover and the Carousel of Progress. Neither are thrilling action rides, but the PeopleMover gives you a pleasantly low-key trip around Tomorrowland — and a nice way to take a load off tired feet and people-watch on a hot day. The Carousel of Progress is perhaps the most Tomorrowland of Tomorrowland's rides, giving you a glimpse at both the past and the past's vision of the future.

7. A whole New Fantasyland

While Disneyland's version of Fantasyland is packed with park originals, Disney World has been hard at work adding a new park area called, creatively, New Fantasyland. (Imagineers? You might want to work on that name.) Here, visitors will find Beast's Castle from Beauty and the Beast, containing the elaborate Be Our Guest restaurant along with the Seven Dwarvfs Mine Train, a new dark ride/roller coaster you won't find anywhere besides the Magic Kingdom.

8. Mickey's PhilharMagic

Less new but no less impressive is Fantasyland's Mickey's PhilharMagic, a 4D concert featuring Donald Duck as the conductor. Though it's similar to Muppet*Vision 3D (found in both Disney California Adventure and Disney's Hollywood Studios) and It's Tough to be a Bug (found in both California Adventure and Animal Kingdom), it stands out from both by featuring a classic cast of Disney characters. Since Disney characters are rather why we're here in the first place, Mickey's PhilharMagic easily wins out over the rest - and can't be found at Disneyland.

9. Epcot's World Showcase

The World Showcase features replicas of 11 different countries, each with local food, drink, and shopping options... and even with locals working in each "country." This makes it the quickest trip around the world you're ever likely to take. Though it doesn't have much in the way of thrill rides, we love the World Showcase for its unique environments and incredible selection of food and goodies from around the world — it's definitely our favorite Walt Disney World (or Disney in general) shopping spot.

10. The water parks

Walt Disney World boasts two water parks - Disney's Blizzard Beach and Disney's Typhoon Lagoon. Both are heavily-themed affairs featuring a mixture of surprisingly intense thrill slides and tamer family attractions. Disneyland, of course, has no water park - and very little room to add one.
