Is the Ark Encounter bigger than Disneyland?

“IT'S BIGGER THAN IMAGINATION” The theme park sits on 800 acres of land—that's 300 more acres than California's Disneyland—although not all of it is developed yet. The website says visitors can easily spend a whole day visiting the attraction or at least 5-6 hours “to take in the entire experience at a leisurely pace.”
