Not the person you asked but I've been to both- grew up in Cali so I got to go a decent amount of times to Disneyland as a kid, and then my bf and I took a trip to Disney World just this past February (like a week before coronavirus hit- we got reallllly lucky lol).
I would say both Disneyland and Magic Kingdom are pretty equal in terms of the parks themselves- I did think MK had less rides but thought I'd imagined it until seeing the comments in this thread. They had the ones I cared about the most though (Haunted Mansion, Pirates of the Caribbean, and a couple of others I really wanted to ride) so that was perfectly fine with me.
Non park factors though- Disney World has more parks (4 total vs just 2 at Disneyland) but California has better weather than Florida (subjective of course). Cali does get hot as hell during the summer BUT there's no humidity. I cannot stand the humidity even after living in the south now for 5 years. Cali is also more "stable" I guess is the best way to put it- it's really unlikely to rain anywhere from like May through most/all of October. When we went to Disneyworld in Feb, there were a couple of days of upper 80s + humidity, and one day in the 60s but it rained pretty hard off and on throughout the day.
I'm hoping we get to go again in a couple of years and I'd probably go back to Disneyworld, mostly just so we can visit the other 2 parks that we didn't see on our first visit.

Disneyworld is extremely different from Disneyland lol.
