Every day on Facebook I get bombarded with the top six this and the top nine that at WDW. So I figured people here could do better. Make a top 5 (or 4 or 6 or 9) list on any Disney World topic you'd like. I'll start...

Top 5 "Lands" at WDW*:

1. Pandora: Perfect execution, one of the world's greatest rides and it's a whole different experience at night.
2. World Showcase: An absolute requirement of every trip is one new restaurant and one new country looked at in depth.
3. Sunset Boulevard: some of the best views in all of WDW with two great rides and multiple shows.
4. Liberty Square: One of Disney's most iconic attractions in the most authentically themed part of Magic Kingdom.
5. Africa: Kilimanjaro Safaris is just a special experience. Add in Tusker House and one of the best shows in the entire complex.

* I haven't been to GE yet.
 
1. Main Street USA-
2. Galaxy's Edge-completely immersive and wonderful. Not even a big Star Wars fan.
3. Africa
4. Pandora

Oh, I misunderstood.

Top 5 on my Disney Bucket list:
6. Beat my DH at TSM fair and square...
5. Can I please be the pilot and not the engineer just once? lol
4. Rebel Spy
3. Deluxe Resort
2. Victoria and Albert
1. Cinderella Castle Suite, of course.

1. Pandora, In addition to a great ride, you can catch some fun streetmosphere, including someone showing off a brand new exo-suit (that was an expected treat after grabbing the pineapple lumpia for breakfast). Also has a really good quick service. Plus as mentioned beautiful at night.
2. Toy Story Land - I know it gets a lot of flack for lack of shade. But I do like the theming and I feel with three rides and actual character meets, this actually has more of what GE is missing. Caveat: I haven't been on RotR and so this might really change my mind what's I get on it and switch these two. Otherwise, as much as I like the endeavor they have for GE, they haven't quite hit the mark. Again these two will probably switch positions (or GE could overtake Pandora if they had some living streetmosphere).
3. Galaxy's Edge - say what you want, but there is for me enough of an immersion factor to really celebrate it. Love using the Datapad to interact with the land. And their dedication to remain in canon for me is impressive. Enjoyed my three rides on MFSR though may leave the piloting to others 😅 . I only have two issues: One, the crowding in certain areas tends to take me out of it. Two, lack of character interaction. I we really need more storm trooper presence to get that feel that the First Order is out in force. Otherwise it's just a nice thing to see. GE could however overtake the first two once I get on RotR and they add some live streetmosphere.
4. World Showcase - This is a great mix of something for everyone while also enjoying a bit of culture from all around the world. For kids, you can meet many of the princesses as well as Mary Poppins, Alice, etc. You can have a drink you normally wouldn't (sake flight in Japan? Sure). Just don't take it too far, ok adults? Plenty of good restaurants around World Showcase too.
5. Africa - KJS is a different experience every time. Rafiki's Planet Watch has opened with a new animation experience. There's still some streetmosphere there that introduces you to a bit of the traditional music from Africa. Tusker House is a great character meal too.

Your Top 5 Memories with characters (this can be from party nights, restaurants, etc.)

5. Joy & Sadness - what can I say? Inside Out is one of my favorite movies and these two were just great together. Not quite the top, but good energy from Joy and as much energy as you can expect from Sadness. There signatures are also the last two in my very first autograph book (which I kind of sort of made using the old school book cover technique with a pocket notebook)
4. Moana - Met her the first time at MVMCP. We were talking about her voyage, I happened to mention Hei-Hei helping out (because he technically did by saving the stone from going over the boat) and she goes to talk about how he's good to keep you awake. She lets out this unexpectedly loud squawk 🤣. Definitely a good memory.
3. Flynn Rider and Rapunzel. This one has more to do with the resulting photo than the overall interaction, which was still great. I disneybounded as Flynn Rider, and that generated a good conversation. I tried to get out of smoldering by saying I hadn't perfected it, and they said it was good practice. So of course I had to go along with it. The smolder that came out in was terrible but makes for a hilarious photo😅.
2. Tinkerbell - She is just so full of energy all of the meet & greets with her have been great. Last time she threw shade at Wendy's hairstyle. Can't remember what she said exactly but it made the character attendant burst out laughing.
1. Drizella & Anastasia - Drizella and my dad made a real connection at 1900 Park Fare. Unfortunately she turned him down when he told her he only had two castles. Anastasia and I threw shade regarding Cinderella talking to and dressing up mice. The pair together are a riot.
 
Top 5 removed things I really miss;
1. Horizons - a sequel to CoP, a vision of the future - this ride was what EPCOT was originally all about. It would be an awesome fit in DL Tomorrowland if they ever decide to tear down the America Sings building.
2. Original Imagination ride - loved this, hate what it is now, and REALLY hated V2.0. What a horrible idea that was.
3. World of Motion ride - can I add Body wars here too? SURE! It's my list. The problem with OG EPCOT was there was not enough to do. WoM and BW were two of the highlights. It bums me out they chose to remove these rides to build new ones rather than adding the new ones and keeping them. BTW - my mom is a nurse and loved BW, but won't ride Star Tours - it makes her sick. Go figure...
4. Muppetvision 3-D in DCA - This was our absolute favorite thing about D-MGM when it first opened. My kids really had no interest in the show until we saw it on our trip to DHS 2 years ago. Now they love it and want to see it again - but we are in So Cal. We were very worried about the rumors it was going to be removed but it looks like it is safe for now - should be able to see it next summer.
5. Country Bears in DL - I loved the cue area on this one, and I could swear the animatronics were better than the WDW one. It brought back so many memories of coming to DL in the rain and taking refuge here before seeing the show.
