I remember someone at work looking at my photo's earlier in the year (who's been to WDW but not DLRP) and was putting DLRP down saying it doesn't look very big!

The resort as a whole is larger, but the Magic Kingdom or the actual Disneyland Park as it is referred to in Paris, is larger than eny of its counterparts in the world.

There is a topic somewhere on this board that has Google Earth shots comparing the area of them all, and you can clearly see that the Paris version is the largest one.

That said.  I once more want to say that when it comes to architecture and planning, the Paris version is probably the nicest of them all - no doubt about it; just look at the maps and compare buildings such as space mountain...

Anyway - back on topic :)

That's correct. The biggest is DLP, follow by Tokyo Disneyland, Magic Kingdom, Disneyland and finally HK Disneyland which is the smallest of them all.
DLP - July 1994 / March 2002 / August 2007 / December 2010 / 2011 - Anual Passholder \":P\"

WDW - May 2006 / May 2008 / August 2009
