Nice to see a fun topic. I'll go out on a limb here and vote in this order:
1. Disney-MGM
2. Magic Kingdom
3. Disneyland
4. Epcot
5. Animal Kingdom
6. DCA
I know, I know. What's with this guy? There is no uniform layout to the park. Some areas are more themed than others.
And it's funny in a way, RnR and TT are not what I based my ranking on. It's more-seeing the animators working-seeing what they're working on next, walking down the main thoroughfare and browsing the stores, the only place to have a pizza planet in the world(my son is 7 and has been to eat pizza there twice). I thought to myself the first time I was there in 1992, there's not enough to see in a whole day. I've gone twice since then, and went from park opening-to park closing. And I did not do everything.
I hate to see DCA at the bottom, I was just there in may. I did love the animation building, and my family and I had lunch at avalon cove. Soaring is probably the best attraction that I've been on at disney, and the theming between soaring and grizzly is great. We stayed at the GC, and could not beat the hotel only entrance. But the little nigglin' thing in my brain was saying-old disneyland parking lot!
Both the magic kingdom and disneyland are up there, but the nod had to go to magic kingdom. Don't get me wrong, I love the nostalgia of the old park-but the mk castle says it all-it's on a grander scale. Some of the newer attractions have been shoe-horned in, and some beloved things taken out. Heck, they've even done that at the mk. I can only tell my wife(we met two years ago, and she'd never been on a vacation period) about the skyway ride. Or the mister toad ride, or 20k leagues(you get the idea). There was even the little barn in Mickey's toontown, complete with cow.
The original disneyland got bumped down because when we were there in may, fantasmic was down-as was small world, and the carousel. A great deal of rehab had gone on. I can't tell you how put off I was by the number of people visiting during that time how infuriated they were. I went anyway, and was glad that I did. There was no way we could do everything-though I did try-and collapsed three days later-I'm used to sitting at a desk and designing away.
Sorry about the rambling, just giving a little insight to my ranking and experience. Thanks once again for a fun topic!
