A Gate to Adventureland
Guess which is which? A gate is Magic Kingdom in Walt Disney World, and the another one is Tokyo Disneyland.
These above two pictures are a gate to Adventureland. They are very similar adventurous theme decoration with many exotic props, but you can see how different these two.
One of a route to Dole Whip, and one to Wildlife Expeditions the new Jungle Cruise!
Which gate do you go through?
Of course, I choose the pass to cool and wonderful Dole Whip! Because new Jungle Cruise still have a loooong queue line!

A Cinderella Fountain at Fantasyland
Guess which is which? A Cinderella statue is Magic Kingdom in Walt Disney World, and the another one is Tokyo Disneyland.
These above two pictures are a Cinderella Fountain at Fantasyland. They are really similar bronze statue, but you can see a different of the position.
One is located next to the Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom the enchanted window, and one is next to pretty store window of Baby Mince the dress for infants shop.
Which fountain do you go?
Of course, I'm fledgling sorcerer, so I choose the magic window side fountain!
Answer is...
The Left: TDL.
The Right: MK at WDW.
These fountain is really similar, so I think you needed a time to answer it. It's quite tough question.
However, if you observe them closely, you'll find many differences between MK's Cinderella statue and TDL's one. The pink brightness of the mural painting, the detail of Fleur-de-lis are different. The big difference is the statue placement. TDL position seem concerned about a layout of animal friends. The Gus & Jaq group and Suzy or Perla group was divided clearly from the center.
The location are very same. The both fountains are located a right-side, back of Cinderella Castle.
TDL Cinderella statue is adjoining Baby Mine the Infant dress shop.
The fountain at TDL is waiting for you.

Crystal Palace Restaurant
Guess which is which?
One is Crystal Palace in Main Street, U.S.A, Magic Kingdom in Walt Disney World, and the another one is Adventureland in Tokyo Disneyland.
These above two pictures are a glass dome of Crystal Palace restaurant at Adventureland and Main Street, U.S.A. It's really interesting their location difference, but these buildings looks really same.
One is near many construction walls of a hub at the Magic Kingdom, and one is near to the Adventureland gate which I was introduced it in the last week.
Which restaurant do you want to go?
Hmmm, dine with Pooh and friends at WDW Crystal Palace Restaurant or eat within 90 minutes and go at TDL Crystal Palace Restaurant. I choose Pooh!
Answer is...
The Left: MK at WDW.
The Right: TDL
The biggest and visible difference is a flag on the grass dome of these two restaurant.
At TDL, the flag is just plain yellow unlike the MK's flag.
And a part of the paned glasses looks like a stained glass is also distinctive at TDL Crystal Palace Restaurant.
Here is the entrance of the two Crystal Palace restaurant. The same taste, very similar architecture, but we can see many different between the two. It's really interesting.
Come and dine at TDL Crystal Palace Restaurant.

Country Bear Jamboree
Guess which is which?
One is Country Bear Jamboree in Frontierland of Magic Kingdom in Walt Disney World, and the another one is called Country Bear Theater at Westernland in Tokyo Disneyland.
These above two pictures are a portrait of a performer from Country Bear Jamboree. They look very same at a glance except the base color, but I think you'll find many subtle differeces.
One is near "Frontier Trading Post" the pins store at the Magic Kingdom, and one is near to the great curry & rice restaurant, "Hungry Bear Restaurant" at Westernland.
Which theater do you want to go?
It's tough choice for me in this time. But always my TDR's pin in hand was gone and swapped so quickly in the US park. So I'd like to go back to join a pin trading at the shop after the lovely long running show.
Answer is...
The Left: TDL
The Right: MK at WDW.
If you only know WDW's Country Bear Jamboree, you sensed something odd from the two pictures. The brass picture lights evoked a feeling of strangeness. Only at TDL Country Bear Theater portrait have the wall lamps.
And my rough photo retouching gave you another uncomfortable feeling from TDL picture. In fact, the wall on the portrait at TDL is surround many little sketches.
There are many small drawings around the perforbears. Each little pictures tell us curious stories of them which enrich their understanding of characters.
Let's check the details between the two.
The left and orange-ish tone pictures are TDL. TDL do want guest to know their names. Henry's eyes are different between TDL and WDW. I feel they give me a different story about Henry and Sammy the raccoon. Wendell seems almost same except his back props.
And there are interesting different part of "The five bear rugs" picture. It's expression of Little Oscar. At WDW, he is watching Zake the banjo player. It seemed Zake made something unexpected. Baby Oscar's eye gave me sort of resentful. Otherwise, at TDL, he see nothing. He is completely blank even though they are parforming!
No bee at TDL frame, longer wing than WDW(I like cupid like wing of WDW's bear.), and anything else, anyone?
At TDL, these little pictures are changed by Christmas and Summer Vacation.
Do you see the red or green frames? They are special drawings during the season.
Clap your hands at TDL Country Bear Theater!

Country Beat Theater 2.
Guess which is which?
One is Country Bear Jamboree in Frontierland of Magic Kingdom in Walt Disney World, and the another one is called Country Bear Theater at Westernland in Tokyo Disneyland.
These above two pictures are cool and adorable audience from Country Bear Jamboree. They are same Buff, Max, and Melvin, but they're really different looks.
Which trio do you want to meet? One group can speak Japanese!
Answer is...
The Left: MK at WDW.
The Right: TDL.
It's really interesting thing to me is WDW's Buff, Max, and Melvin have more thick coat than TDL's. The other bear also more hairy than Japanese.
The three of TDL is more cartoon-like face, especially Max's appearance is so distinct from WDW Max. TDL Max looks like a teenager different from WDW's cool Max.
The inside of the theater construction is quite same, but WDW are bigger than TDL.
And really sadly, many Japanese tend to sleep during the show. This attraction supported by House Foods Corporation. (& enthusiastic fan!)
We can enjoy the delicious curry and rice of the same sponsor at at Hungry Bear Restaurant.
Enjoy the wonderful show and spicy curry at TDL Country Bear Theater & Hungry Bear Restaurant.
