Crap. And I was only one park away (Paris) from having visted all of the Magic Kingdoms in the world. Now I'm 2 parks away, with more in the pipeline.

Wow. The actual park is only 100 acres? That's 60 acres smaller than Knott's Berry Farm! That's TINY for a Disney resort park!

The actual park at Disneyland is only 85 acres.
The whole resort at Hong Kong is much larger, with 300 acres of reclaimed land alone (IIRC)

But check out these 2 drawings of the park on pg 1 and 2:

Although the park is indeed bigger than DL by only 15 acres, the actual accessable in park area to guest is MUCH smaller than DL (lots of undevolped room for future expansions). Apparently you can walk from the entrance, all around the park and back to the entrance in only 10 minutes.

My mom worked at Disneyland and I visited the park 58 times.

And Disney is now talking a "small" park in Australia? What's it going to be the size of? Wyandot Lake?
