Best Answer

楽しい (tanoshii) - enjoyable; fun

うれしい (ureshii) - happy; glad; pleasant

There are some cases where the two might be interchangeable when expressing happiness. Akira Miura explains that tanoshii should be used for "sustained state of happiness," where ureshii should be used for "momentary joy".
