If you HAD to chose. What park besides Magic Kingdom?

[CampbellzSoup]

Ok so I offically exhausted Magic Kingdom for a *good* while....we did everything last year:

• Regular Day
• Halloween Party
• Christmas Party x2

We go on 3/4 cruises a year and we get to stop in Florida so we have an agreement I can have ONE Disney Day that's not the Magic Kingdom . If you guys had to pick the SECOND best park what would it be and why...?

I'm between Animal Kingdom and Epoct. Hollywood Studios seems like a ghost town to me now so I don't want to go there until they really put some good attractions in the park! What say you guys if you had to pick one park!

EPCOT, I love the World Showcase!!! We actually went one year and only had 1 day for a Disney park and we chose Epcot.

Despite the lack of new things, I'd still pick EPCOT by a mile. It's my favorite place to just hang out at if any Disney World park.

[CampbellzSoup]

I guess EPCOT is coming out swinging lol

Great question as my mom and I are staying offsite for a weekend at the JW Marriott and wanted one Disney day too. We can't decide either!

Epcot

Animal Kingdom is my personal fave besides MK, but even I will have to concede that Epcot is likely the best choice. It has a better mix of options as far as food, attractions, etc. and lots of fun ways to occupy your time. Plus it's easier to spend a whole day there. BUT... I just love AK sooo much. In my opinion you can't go wrong with either.

Toy Story Ride...Hands down best for all ages

Heard that Mickey sorcerer hat is coming down in HS park...True?

 

[Retro Magic]

Animal Kingdom

For me, nothing beats the lush serenity and peace and atmosphere of Animal Kingdom.

Epcot and HS. magic kingdom is actually my least favorite of the four.

 

[JennaDeeDooDah]

Hollywood Studios is my favorite park so that's what I would choose. However, that wasn't an option that you gave. Between Epcot and Animal Kingdom, I'd choose Epcot easily. I can't do a full day at Animal Kingdom, but I can do multiple days at Epcot. World Showcase is great, especially with the street acts and I love Future World west and Spaceship Earth.

I'd pick Animal Kingdom. That might be because we had to cut short our day there when the deluge set in.

Choose Epcot if you like
1. to get our drink on in front of your kids.
2. overpriced theme park knock offs of other cultures culinary triumphs.
3. like feaux-educational, liberal brainwashing attractions or test-track.
4. You like out-dated attractions created in the post-Walt money grab era.
5. Not riding anything resembling a roller coaster

Choose Hollywood Studios if you like
1. Looking at closed signs where attractions used to be.
2. Watching people scratch their heads trying to find things to do.
3. Seeing Disney's shameless promotion of it's franchises.
4. Bland restaurants
5. Boring shows

Choose Animal Kingdom if like
1. Nature and animals
2. Beautiful theming, architecture, flora and fauna
3. Entertaining, highly creative, well written and very repeatable shows
4. The Renaissance of Imagineering
5. A FREAKING SAFARI
6. Legitimate thrill rides
7. Enjoyable and creative food choices
8. Dole Whips - you can get it in Africa

I personally love DHS, it is my 2nd favorite park to MK.

Nothing against Epcot or AK, but I just love the scenery and some of the particular attractions at DHS.
