WDW and Disneyland Rides

[Catira]

Hi, We have been several times to WDW but Labor Day Weekend will be our first visit to Dianeyland. What are sime rides that both WDW and DL have that are the same? And the different ones? I noticed that the "Buzz Light year" is new to disneyland. Whereas WDW already had it.Another question, how scary are Indiana Jones and Soarin over California for a 6 yr.old? My son was extremely scared when we saw Honey I Shrink the kids at WDW.
Okay, hope to hear from you all...Liza

If you have enough time do try riding everything. Even though things may be similar there are some small differences which are fun to observe.

There are NO RIDES that are really the same. Each one has its own variation to it. So even if you have been on Pirates or Splash at WDW the DL version is different.

I've never done Soarin' (but will July 13th!), but rode Indy on my last trip. If your 6 year old was scared during HISTK, I wouldn't recommend Indy. It is very intense (but lots of fun). But you never know . . . kids can be funny about what scares them and what doesn't. Good luck!
