DL is just much more intimate and easy to navigate. I also think some of the same rides such as HM, POTC, BTMR and a few others are better at DL. DL park has a special feeling.
Yes, POTC is clearly better at DL. We did POTC at MK yesterday, and it felt like a "Reader's Digest Condensed Version." It lacked the majestic scale, the story development, the immersion...I honestly cannot understand why they did such a poor copy. What's the point?
Haunted Mansion...yeah, I can see why they made certain choices, but I do prefer the original. Especially in context.
Looking back, a lot of DL rides and attractions felt more like they "belonged" where they were, somehow. Which is amazing, considering how little space they had to work with. With Jungle Cruise at WDW, I wondered "why is this here?" in WDW. Whereas in DL, I usually felt things belonged right where they were. I guess, when they had so little to work with, so much thought and care needed to be put into optimizing and maximizing space, flow and theming. Fortunately, the designers of Disneyland were up to the task. And they created brilliance born out of necessity. In WDW, they had so much just handed to them they didn't have to try as hard, so they didn't. And it shows.
