I think that AK really gets a bum rap! I found it to be one of my favourite parks and I was going in a little wary with all the posts about it being a "skip-able" park. EE is now my absolute favourite ride! The character trails are cool, Lion King and Nemo are amazing shows. The Kiliminjaro Safari is really awesome(kids wanted to go on it over and over). There are a lot of hidden gems there if you ask me, not to mention the amazing detail in the park that only Disney can provide! I would definitely pick AK over DTD unless you were really intent on shopping and eating all day.....while DTD was definitley neat to see, we preffered being in the park.
