The internet has stumped upon a little nugget of information, and it has blown their collective minds.
It is a dream of millions of kids to go and visit Disneyland and Disney World, but not many of us can afford such a luxury.
This is why it’s usually a once-in-a-lifetime achievement that is something to remember forever.
But while you might not give the locations too much thought, a tweet has once again resurfaced to make sure everyone knows the reason behind its names.
Advert
According to a photograph of an NBC segment that shows that 'DisneyLAnd' versus 'Disney wORLd' have been named on purpose.
Apparently, the LA and ORL in each moniker refers to Los Angeles and Orlando, respectively – the apparent locations of where they are situated.
The person sharing the screen grab wrote: " How did I not notice this before?”
Well, it seems like they weren’t the only one, as many people had the glass shatter for themselves too.
One person wrote in response: " Wow. Never saw that before.”
Another said: "I must know every word they hide stuff in now.”
To be fair, there’s a bit of a mistake here though, as Disneyworld is in California, not LA.
But don’t let that ruin a good moment.
Disney theme parks exist in California, Florida, Hong Kong, Tokyo, Paris, and Shanghai.
Disneyland, which is based in Anaheim, California, is the oldest, having opened way back in 1955.
Meanwhile, in 1971 Walt Disney World Resort opened in Florida, boasting six theme parks and water parks, a sports complex, golf courses and the Disney Springs shopping complex.
All of this chat has probably led you to want to know what the main differences between Disneyland and Disneyworld are - and which one you should think about booking for your next trip.
Well, Disney World is much vaster than Disneyland, comprised of an eye-watering 27,000 acres, which stretch across five theme parks and two water parks.
Adding Disney Springs to that, as well as over 25 resort hotels within the Disney World resort in Florida, it's clearly the more elaborate option.
When it comes to Disneyland, while it's still majorly impressive, the design itself is one of a more humble nature.
There are two parks to enjoy - both Disneyland Park and California Adventure Park, which combined cover 500 acres.
In other words, it would be possible to fit 54 Disneyland parks into Disney World.
Now that would be a fun day out...
