I'm pretty sure that WDW attracts the greatest # of people per year.
But which Disney multi-park resort comes in 2nd? The Anaheim Resort with D.land and DCA, or Tokyo D.land with its two great parks and outstanding staff? How can I find the attendance figures? I know I could Google this:cool: , but that would be too easy.

This was from the Coaster Grotto link. I wonder if Tokyo's Disneyland has seen a reduction. I think it used to be the world's most visited park.
If you combine Tokyo's two parks they surpass Anaheim's two Disney parks. Going all out on their second (DisneySea) park and Pooh attraction really paid off for them.

World Park Attendance
Most visited theme parks in the world
1 Magic Kingdom - Orlando, Florida, United States 16.2m (+6.5%)
2 Disneyland - Anaheim, California, United States 14.5m (+8%)
3 Tokyo Disneyland - Urayasu, Chiba, Japan 13.0m (-1.5%)
4 Tokyo DisneySea - Urayasu, Chiba, Japan 12.0m (-1.6%)

You'd think Disney would get a clue and realize that their Magic Kingdoms are the be all and the end all. The world could use seven more one-day Magic Kingdom destinations that are all so unique and wonderful that going to one will make guests want to visit them all.
If they want people to stay a little longer, elaborate pools, movie theaters, playgrounds, health clubs and jogging trails could do the trick.
And make the Magic Kingdoms so packed with unique attractions and beautiful, unique gardens (see L.A.'s Getty Museum) that people will want to spend more than one day there.

OT: The Getty center is amazing, but for gardens I would say go to the Huntington Museum in Pasadina.

I agree that the Huntington has some of the most beautiful gardens. (I proposed to my wife there and I had planned on proposing there to whomever I married for many years before I met my wife.) But when I went to the Getty (our second date after our first one to Disneyland) I felt like I had never been there before--especially as I walked into the sunken water-garden area to the West of most of the museum buildings. The Getty just looked so innovative and I think that new Magic Kingdoms should strive for that.

When I first saw the jumping fountains in front of EPCOT's Imagination pavillion I felt thattoo--that I was seeing something amazing that I'd never seen before. At the Los Angeles Aboretum (SP?), there are hundreds of unusual trees from all over the world. I'd like to see the unusual ones used at future Magic Kingdoms.

There wont be a 2006. The company that put these numbers together is no longer doing this. So unless someone else picks it up we wont have anything to go off of.
