ONCE AGAIN, I am outraged by the amount of "Disneyland Expert" apps and websites that use a picture of the castle at Disney World as their main image. As I said recently over on Facebook, it's like the difference between Chinese and Japanese - YOU may not be able to tell the difference, but if you say we're going out for Chinese Food and you take me to a Sushi Restaurant? I'm gonna have to mock you.

"But Captain Slinky" I hear you asking, "How can I, an average person of minimal Disnowledge, tell the difference between the two castles?"

Here you go.

If you've just entered the park and passed through the tunnels below Main Street Station to find yourself on Main Street USA where you feel like you've been transported to a bustling turn-of-the-century town, and there in the distance, at the other end of the street, you see a man holding hands with... is that a mouse? ANd the man, he seems to be pointing to something... is that... oh my gosh, is that a castle? THAT'S DISNEYLAND.

If you've just entered the park and passed through the tunnels below Main Street Station to find yourself on Main Street USA and go HOLY CRAP THERE'S A GIANT CASTLE AND hey these buildings look kind of old-fashioned that's weird", THAT'S DISNEY WORLD.

Please feel free to print this out and keep it handy for your own personal reference :)

Another distinguishing factor is that you can't go through the arch in Disney World. The inner section of the castle is in use by a restaurant. It looks like you could at one time, but not anymore. The castle interior is used by a restaurant now.
