Rank Your WDW Parks

[Kristina4109]

This was hard, and I think over the years my list has changed and I wouldn't be surprised if it changes again. As of this very second:

1) Epcot. I have so many happy memories of my childhood at Epcot. When we go to WDW, we basically do EVERYTHING in Epcot.

2) MK - this used to be my favorite, but now that I live so close to DL, MK's fallen to the #2 slot. Still cannot skip gazing at Cinderella's Castle, MSEP and Wishes!

3) AK - I really like this park.

4) Studios - Back when it opened, and all throughout the 90's, this park was so awesome. Ever since they stopped actual production here, it's fallen off. Our last 2 trips we spent 8 days in the parks - and only 1 at the Studios.

Wait... if we are adding California, my list changes:

1) MK
2) CA
3) HS
4) DL
5) AK

6) Epcot

Let's see: they took out my favorite act, World Showcase Players, at Epcot - and now they Hat Icon is being dismantled at DHS. So my two used-to-be-favorites are no longer at the top of the list.

MK, AK, .........Epcot, DHS.

I guess WDW execs keep giving me more and more reasons to stay in CA instead of flying to Florida.

4. AK (still have only gone once)

1. AK - Kids (10 & 16 at the time) and hubby and I could have easily spent part of every day of our 11 day vacation there. Animals + theming + food + EE, Safari, & Dinosaur + shows = FANTASTIC experience!

2. EPCOT - Another one the whole family loves - especially World Showcase.

3. MK - Doesn't come anywhere close to being as magical for me as Disneyland. BUT, they do have the People Mover which we always have fun on!

4. HS - Has 3 of my favorite rides: Tower of Terror, Toy Story, and Star Wars...other than that, not much to do there.

MK...it always brings out the kid in me (even at 55)
EPCOT...FW has many interesting things to see and do...WS is very relaxing with great food, beverage, and entertainment (though less now)
AK...love the animals, the atmosphere, and the shows
DHS...when ranking, there always has to be a last...compared to anywhere else (besides the other 3 WDW parks) it's a great place to be

Uh oh...I may have started something here.

Looks like we're pretty similar. For us (3 yo and 7 yo) there's just not much of anything for them at AK, DHS, or Epcot. Certainly not worth $400 just to get inside. AK and parts of Epcot are beautiful to look at but kids don't care about that. They LOVED Fun Spot (of all places) and we're going there (as well as US/IOA) in place of the three aforementioned Disney parks. Been that way for 3 years now.

I like Busch Gardens more than Sea World but I grew up with it (Tampa native).

 

[PrettyFlower2]

1. MK
2. AK
3.TIE BETWEEN EPCOT AND HS...I think both parks need serious renovations/new rides. Epcot is just sad in Future world and HS needs a star wars land or something new def.

 

[BuenaVistaBound]

1. Magic Kingdom: still the first thing that comes to mind when I think of Disney World.

2. Epcot: Neglected, yes. But I still find something new every time I visit the World Showcase, and Soarin' is my favorite ride anywhere. When a world-class aquarium is barely mentioned as a highlight, there's a lot to see and do.

3. Hollywood Studios: As far as a "theme" park goes, it doesn't get any better than the art deco golden-age-of-Hollywood experience of HS. Lunch at the Sci-Fi Drive-In is about as immersive a time warp as you can find anywhere.

4. Animal Kingdom: It's fun, and Expedition Everest is a great ride, but I've been to many zoos that are comparable (without the rides, of course). Food selection is weak, and it's always so darned hot!

[nscarnati]

Normally:
1) MK
2) HS
3) Epcot
4) AK

During Food & Wine:
1) Epcot
2) MK
3) HS
4) AK

 

[lustergirl]

1. MK
2. EPCOT
3. AK
4. HS

HS I could live without as there is not enough there to keep me entertained all day. They need to revamp or add new attractions.

 

[rbrbnd]

AK
MK & EP tied
HS...we usually skip it unless we have a late flight out. Then we might head in there on our last day just to ride Tower of terror, RNR and toy story mania before we head home.
