Favorite Park

[MinecraftDisney]

With all the construction in Hollywood Studios and Pandora just opening, I wanted to know what is you're favorite park?

 

[Klayfish]

The construction in HS is far overblown...almost nothing that was popular was taken away, so it really has little effect on the park. Haven't seen Pandora yet, but I will in just 4 weeks, and I can't wait.

But for now, my only answer is the most "obvious" one, which is MK. It's the heart and soul of WDW, at least IMO.

Ranking the other three (I know you didn't ask) would be hard, as they're pretty equal to me. I like them all about the same...if I had to pick I guess it would be HS, Epcot then AK, but I could very easily be swayed to swap them around.

After experiencing Pandora this weekend, I'm going to have to go with AK at the moment. However, I joke with DH that whichever park I'm in at the time is my favorite .

Magic Kingdom and it's not even close.

Like Klayfish, the other 3 rotate depending on my mood. I think HS has some of the best rides (ToT, RnR, TSMM, StarTours) but other than that there's not much to do in that park, construction or not. I love walking around the World Showcase and taking in the environment there, but hate the rides at Epcot. And I love the atmosphere and theming at AK plus I love the shows there, but I get why people think it's only a half day park. Though I haven't seen Pandora yet and I'm very excited about that addition. We'll be down there at the end of the month!

If I had to rank the other 3 right now I'd go: AK, HS, Epcot.

I don't really have a favorite I like them all and go to all 4 every trip but we tend to spend more time at Epcot just because we love WS. Like Klayfish, I think HS construction is overblown we still do everything we did in the past except for walking down the streets of America and playing with the singing in the rain umbrella. I haven't been to Pandora yet but always loved AK before so I can't see as how it will make a difference. Our least favorite is MK, I know a sacrilege but for us, it's a half day park. Like I said, we go to all 4 and enjoy all 4 every trip and I go twice a year.

It's a tie between MK and HS for me. MK has that nostalgic, magical feel to it, but the rides at HS are some of my favorites.

I love all the parks but Epcot is my favorite. We LOVE World Showcase, my DH and I spend 2-3 days at Epcot on every trip, even sacrificing the opportunity to visit HS so we can have multiple days at Epcot. Even without any Festival going on we love to wander around World Showcase and look at the shops, and eat and drink our way around the World. We do love all the Festivals though so it always seems like there is something "new" to do at Epcot at various times during the year.

Our least favorite is MK, I know a sacrilege but for us, it's a half day park.

You should be banned, banished, tarred and feathered, made to wear the hat of shame!!!

We're like you, every trip, even our 4 day "long weekend" trips, we make sure to go to every park because we really love them all.

For me, its MK. But I admit that most of the reason for that choice is nostalgia. There are individual attractions and things at the other parks I enjoy more (Soarin and the food at Epcot, TS and TOT at HS, and EE at AK), but overall it will always be MK for me

 

[JerseyJanice]

I think Magic Kingdom has the most and the best attractions, but I enjoy the atmosphere at Epcot the most. It's the one park where I can chill.

Last year, Animal Kingdom was very disappointing in the rain. Dinosaur was down, and no one was up for Everest so it seemed like there was very little to do. I have high hopes for Pandora though.

 

[PoohsFan1]

Even though all the parks are unique in their own ways, my favorite park hands down is MK, from the time you step onto Main Street USA and hearing the Dapper Dans sing their songs to blasting off into space on Space Mountain...it is pure magic. I would have to say Epcot comes in at a very close second, nothing beats walking around WS and enjoying everything that each of the countries has to offer.

 

[Praying Colonel]

I like the park where there's no tiering.

 

[BrianL]

Yeah, it's MK for me too. I mean...it's MK!

Epcot here. First, it's a 'Two-Fer' with WS and Future World. We hop to WS every afternoon at any rate but since we go during Food&Wine now it's doubly enjoyable. Add to this the fact that we stay at Board Walk during F&W Epcot is extremely handy. My favorite 'ride' is in WS, seen below.

I wanted to vote EPCOT because I love the WS and all the exploring that can be done there. I also really enjoy the food and drinks available in WS, however, it is Magic Kingdom, after all. No place on Earth creates that feeling of nostalgia and pure happiness.

 

[Lee Matthews]

Mine was always Hollywood studios. With the construction and closures it's currently Animal Kingdom but as soon as STE opens it will certainly be studios again

 

[dylanna]

I still haven't been to AK sadly but I'm fairly certain it would be second to MK.
Sometimes I think the amount of time you spend at a park makes you love it more? Like I have been to MK the most so I know the most about it and it feels like home, yet there is still a lot that I haven't seen. And right now Epcot is my next favorite because traveling WS never gets old!

It's difficult not to pick MK because our early nostalgic moments are there. When I picture myself at WDW, I'm walking down Main Street USA. I'm glancing at each building in turn, peering at the window labels. I see those colorful balloons swaying and the aroma of sweet vanilla waffles from the Parlor fills my nostrils.

Our top attractions are at DHS (TSMM is probably my favorite, followed by ToT, then Soarin'), but if skipping shows like Indy/Fantasmic, we're easily able to leave after a half day. We love the special events at EP (Flower Garden, Food and Wine, Christmas candlelight/stories, New Yrs, etc.), and simply walking around WS. We like AK for it's sprawl (always seemed less crowded in the past - that's seemingly changed now) and shows. Kali is among our favorites and we've done it as many as 15x in a row. I think with Pandora, AK will probably be our 2nd fav. (especially as wait times settle down after a while). Until in 2019-2020 when DHS becomes our new #2.

Our current trip - we are supposed to be picking FP this month and we haven't even figured out which parks we want to be at which days. I'm having a hard time justifying hopping without a good excuse (Halloween party forcing early close at MK but the early EMH tempts you into starting there). We know we're going to have to allot more chances at AK, and have our FP's there whether it's 1st or 2nd park of day.

I love each park for their uniqueness. But, Magic Kingdom is quintessentially Disney.

Our favorite park is Epcot. Mostly because its NOT like a typical theme park. Its the un-MK for us.
