MODERATORS
The average six flags amusement park is 300 acres.
Disney world is 27,520 acres across 4 theme parks, 2 water parks, and multiple mini cities of shopping and resort centers.
Each of the 4 main parks take 2-3 days to fully explore, especially if your goal is to do every of the 173 rides. Or attend every attraction and show of which there are 30 or more unique stage performances on the average week plus parades, fireworks and other events. Then there are 200 unique restaurants including two which have Michelin stars. It’s even longer if you’re rich enough to afford the private events and secret areas where they do bespoke experiences, weddings, and conferences.
Another way to look at it is that Disney World is larger than:
All good points, and reasons you might be better off going to Disneyland in California, which is 500 acres including California Adventure. So you can "do Disney" in one long day, especially if you have little kids who don't like the really scary rides, or you're all too old for Small World. Then you have all the other Southern California stuff left, including several other theme parks.
Edit to add: at Disneyland, there's an official colony of cats!
The best reason to do Disneyland over Disney world is Disneyland is in the LA area, so it's 70 and sunny for most of the year, and the winds off the Pacific plus the fact that it's a desert make it very comfortable 350 days out of the year, and most of the walkways are brick or pavement. Disney world is in Orlando where the air is often as thick as soup and temperatures are much higher. Everything's much more spread out and the walkways are hot blacktop that absorb the tropical sunlight.
Also unlike Orlando where almost everything is touristy overpriced chains copy/pasted from elsewhere, there's plenty of unique experiences in LA to do as other features of your trip (like the super under-marketed nature preserve and attractions on Catalina Island. It's a 1 hour catamaran ride from the Port of Los Angeles and absolutely a wonderful place with hiking, glass bottom boat tours, cool architecture and neat museums and a brilliant day trip)
