Agree with PP. HS is half the park it used to be. We will be enjoying every show/ride here since we won't be back until 2016 and who knows what is closing next! It still holds #2 spot for ToT for DH, BatB for me, VotL for DD6, and Animation Academy for DD14.
1- Magic Kingdom -just so magical, every time; still get chills when I walk down Main Street with my family.
2- Hollywood Studios - DD's 12 and 15 LOVE this park, especially ToT and Animation Academy.
3- Epcot -so much variety, and 'visiting Japan' in the World Showcase is a definite must for us!
4- Animal Kingdom - it's not that we don't like it, in fact we love it, but if we only had 3 days at WDW, this is the park we would miss.
AK will always have my heart. I was thrilled to be in the line of cars April 1998 for opening day. I am trying to be cautiously optimistic about how things will turn out there.
MK I love it, but not as much as I used to, it still has highlights but it's not the same for me since Toon Town was removed. I do still get a thrill when seeing the castle upon approach from the ferry.
DHS & Epcot 3rd & 4th either/or in no particular order right now my feeling is what a mess. Time will tell.
For the record I am not afraid of change, I look forward to some good change, not just for change sake. KWIM ?
So right now this would be my list.
1. MK of course
2. This is a dead even tie for EP and AK. AK may be a little ahead because it is more relaxed.
HS doesn't even make my list and we won't be visiting it during our next trip in spetember. Our family gets bored with all of the shows...And it just lacks magic for us.
AK and Epcot used to be switched in order, but Epcot needs some help- and AK had just gotten better and better as the years go by. Nostalgia alone gives the MK top spot and always will- no matter what.
1. MK--if this park weren't there, I'm sure i wouldn't go at all. It is Disney after all.
2. EP--though besides Soarin and Test Track, they really need to do something with Futureworld. Can't they come up with something really exciting and futuristic for this part of the park. It is the 21st century after all! I haven't gone on some of the rides there for over 10 years--simply not interested. It's always bugged me. Of course, love World Showcase for the food and shopping.
3. AK--love this park for simply walking around--could spend the day just doing that--it's a bit of piece and quiet amongst all the Orlando mayhem.
4. HS--too small and they keep taking things out. Many times I've been there and things aren't opened or they're replacing/constructing, etc. I could skip this park (if necessary), if it weren't for FANTASMIC! and maybe the Hollywood Brown Derby--okay, I like Aerosmith too.

I was ducking myself when I read your post..good grief you are a feisty one today I'm glad the horse didn't decide to run across the yard at the same time I would have thought it was the Apocalypse
MK. Disney at its best. Also, the park with the most attractions
AK. Possibly the best themed of all the parks. Definitely nahtazu.
EP. Once our second favourite, but neglect and cost cutting is hurting it badly.
DHS. Only a half day park now. Multiple closures with no announced replacements. Very sad
1) MK
2) EPCOT (for now, but with the upcoming Frozen attraction, which we have no interest in, and the continual dumbing down of this park, this park could quickly fall in our rankings)
3) AK
4) HS
