the wonderful creations/masterpieces

Some people believe that Disneyland is one of the wonderful creations/ the masterpieces of Walt Disney.

Are the two bolded phrases in the above identical in meaning? Thanks.
  

Top answer

No, few or no pairs of words are identical in meaning, but they both work here. Masterpiece refers more specifically to the product of an artist.

Thanks, Mister.

But I'm still wondering why Water Disney couldn't be regarded as an artist of cartoons.
