Magic Kingdom vs. Epcot resort area

[WDWfan08]

Which do you prefer? Even just to pass through if you haven't been a guest at a resort in both. They each have their own unique vibe and atmosphere.

Pluses of each:

MK (GF, Contemp, Poly, WL)
-monorail (huge plus)
-sights and sounds of MK from many spots at each (namely the fireworks and castle)
-boat service to MK and the other resorts
-"in the action" feel

Epcot (YC, BC, Boardwalk, S&D)
-Boardwalk attractions
-short walk to Epcot
-Friendship boats to Epcot and MGM
-more secluded, relaxed feel

The general feeling of the MK area does a lot for me. To me, the epcot area feels like a miniature, inferior DTD area. I know its different, thats just how I feel.

I LOVE the boardwalk, my Fav resort, but overall, the MK resorts are MUCH better, and cost more obviously, but offer more...

We enjoy the MK area. We like Epcot but nowhere near as much as we enjoy all of the MK area.

Love the Epcot resorts We prefer to spend our time at Epcot & DHS, love to be able to walk over to World Showcase for dinner or just to watch Illuminations

both equally!

love staying at the CR - monorail, walking distance to MK, view of castle and Wishes from tower rooms - priceless!

would love to stay at BC - walking distance to both EP and MGM - especially wonderful during F&W and after illuminations
