Identical attractions?
Are any of the Disneyland attractions identical to its WDW version? While I would love to do and see it all, I am not sure we will have time. If there is anything pretty much identical to WDW we'll likely skip it till later in the day/trip, then go back if we have time.

The two that come to mind immediately are Soring and Little Mermaid, both at DCA.

Even those attractions, while seemingly identical, are vastly different when you consider the queue as part of the attraction. The Soarin queue theming is very different at both parks (and the queue is much shorter at California Adventure!). In addition, the film is much cleaner at California Adventure - no little spots of fuzz like at WDW.
The queue difference is very noticeable with Mermaid. There is no theming at all in the California Adventure queue (unless you consider colors to be a theme), whereas the WDW version has a very immersive (pun partially intended) theme.
The same applies to Toy Story Midway Mania: minimal theming at California Adventure (but boasting much shorter lines); very well-themed at WDW. Aside from the queue, I cannot point to any difference in the attraction itself.
To me, given the feeling of immersion and the incredible theming throughout the Disney Parks, it would be a shame to skip an attraction that seems to be similar because there really aren't any attractions that are exact duplicates when considering the queue and the attraction as a whole.

In addition to Soarin and LM, the Muppets 3D and Toy Story Midway Mania are identical. Pooh is similar enough to skip at DL. Teacups can also be skipped.

You are so right, SM is wonderfully smooth since the 2 year refurb and was always better IMHO. IASW The first time I saw it at WDW I thought you got to be kidding me. And BTM is fun at any park. I will say I do like HM better at WDW also TOT is better at WDW.

I was going to say, don't miss the usual E-ticket rides as I like them better at DL than WDW, However I just realized I haven't been to DL in 10 years. My opinions may not be up to date. DL is smaller than WDW, so you may have more time to see stuff than you think.

I prefer Splash at WDW too, but would hate not to ride it on either coast. I find the Disneyland one seems rather dull inside, lacking in details or something.. I can never put my finger on it.
I'm not bad. I'm just drawn that way.

I totally get what you are saying. It seems like there is less going on in the scenes in the DL version. I prefer the WDW version, but of course I ride both when at either park.

I agree. The Disneyland one has a lot more time outside so that might be why the inside scenes are kinda lacking. I love them both though. I actually prefer the seating at DL and LOVE that there is a single rider option there.

Only smaller is size of parks. Disneyland and CA Adventure combined, have more rides than WDW.

Agreed.

I'd vote not to skip Teacups! Disneyland's outdoor version is so much more appealing than being under a tent. Especially at night.
1986 & 1990 - off-site
1988 - Dixie Landings
1995 - Euro Disney - Hotel New York
2001 - CBR
2008 - POP
March & May 2016 - POP
July 2016 - CSR
Sept 2016 - CSR
Nov 2016 - POFQ & WL
March 2017 - POR
May 2017 - POR
Upcoming trip: Nov 2019

Agree! I think the Mad Tea Party is SO beautiful. It is a great photo op.

How about Peter Pan? Is it similar enough to skip? With no FP option and knowing how popular it is at WDW I don't fancy waiting in line as there are other attractions I'd like to get to first.

NO! Do NOT skip it. I think it is WAY better at DL. They are also enhancing it with "extra" magic for the 60th anniversary.

I agree. The DL Peter Pan feels much more up close and personal.
