Rank Your WDW Parks

[BigHawk]

1. MK
2. EP - close second
3. AK
4. HS - even though I think RnRC and TSMM are the top two rides at WDW

 

[Retro Magic]

Like and love all the parks, but if I had to rank:

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

 

[Gabriel&Nana]

1.MK - Place to feel the magic
2.AK - Love the rides, trails and animals
3.HS - Love RnRC, ToT, TSMM but has to have more attractions otherwise ...
4.EPCOT- FW to have fun; World Showcase to relax and enjoy

MK......carries the other parks, 10/10

AK......innovative mesh of theme park & zoo, 8/10

HS......oh no, Universal is building up the street, let's slap up a copy of it to keep guests on site and wonder what to do with it after that, 6/10

EP.......let's build a world's fair with other people's money!....we'll worry about what happens to it when other people's money runs out later, 5/10

 

[Zhaan]

MK
HS
EP
AK

But with all the closures at HS I expect Epcot to rank over it for the next couple of years.

 

[Maleficent Dragon]

I would say:

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

What's your favorite?

 

[richmo]

Epcot is still my favorite, but it needs work (entrance, 3D theater, Wonders of Life pavilion, update Universe of Energy)

MK second. Fantasyland update is a plus, main negative is Stitch attraction. Maybe even Tomorrowland in general...It seems to be the toughest land to "theme". Perhaps the speedway should also go or be refurbed.

AK has moved up to the third slot for me. Just love the atmosphere, maybe my favorite park to walk in, with the possible exception of World Showcase at Epcot. New Festival of Lion King theatre location is great...hoping Avatarland is a good addition. Only thing I can think of that I'd get rid of is the Chester and Hester area...mostly unwinnable arcade games you can get at your local carnival....doesn't belong in Disney.

DHS remains fourth for me. Not a ToT or RnRC rider; perhaps that's why. Lights, Motor, Action was an interesting attraction, but I think its run its course. While not my favorite attraction, I did enjoy Backlot Tour and we'll have to see what replaces it. TSM was a good addition, and the Star Tours update was much needed. Problem at DHS is many attractions are shows and some don't start until afternoon. I kind of liked the "working studio" aspect of it...that's completely gone now.

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

For me MK and Epcot are basically 1 and 1A, it is that close and AK for me is a distant fourth.

 

[Disney_Princess83]

AK
Epcot
MK
HS

We really could skip HS if it wasn't for Beauty and the Beast and Fantasmic.

 

[CTDisneyfan816]

For me that Maelstrom ride was never a favorite of mine. It was a ride that I would ride if the line was 15 minutes or less. Forget about if any longer. Same with the ride in Mexico. Epcot also has my favorite ride anywhere, "Soarin'".

 

[FLchick415]

Mine are:
MK
AK(LOVE this park)
DHS(mostly for ToT & RnRC)
Epcot(I mostly go there to eat/drink lol)

 

[Peanut]

MK. Love it here! It's where most of the magic is for me.
Epcot. I know it needs some work, but I still really really enjoy being there.
HS. Enjoyable!
AK. Not as much to do here, but a very beautiful park. We skip this park sometimes.

 

[johde]

1:MK
2: everything else.

After all these years, MK is still the favorite. All the other parks have things I like and thinks I don't like.

 

[CTDisneyfan816]

MK. Love it here! It's where most of the magic is for me.
Epcot. I know it needs some work, but I still really really enjoy being there.
HS. Enjoyable!
AK. Not as much to do here, but a very beautiful park. We skip this park sometimes.

This probably matches my thinking as well.

 

[GOOFY D]

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

 

[mzadell]

I have a hard time ranking them since they all offer such different experiences for me.

Animal Kingdom - My favorite place to walk around and soak in the atmosphere/theming.

Hollywood Studios - My favorite place to ride.

Epcot - My favorite place to eat.

Magic Kingdom - I guess it would be the "winner" because it's got the whole package. I love the classic food options, the attractions are winners for every type of rider, and the theming is what put it on the map!

 

[FlightlessDuck]

1) MK
2) HS
3) AK

Your issue with DHS is ours as well. We had a lot of time to kill there before/between shows & not much to occupy our time during these gaps. Wandering aimlessly just doesn't hold the same appeal there as at the other three.

DH and DD were just doing this the other day when I walked in the room, but they were throwing the west coast in too.

DD:
1.MK/EPCOT- tied
2. DL
3. CA
4. AK
5. DHS

Although, she did keep wavering on whether DL or MK got the No. 1 spot. IT actually might be a 3 way tie.

DH
1. DL/EPCOT tied
2. CA
3. MK
4. DHS
5. AK.

Me- I think that is kind of like asking me which child I like best-- too hard of a question to ask! I guess if I had to pick I would say:

1. DL
2. EPCOT
3. MK
4. CA
5. DHS
6. AK

Although DL EPCOT and MK are pretty much tied- and I have a hard time putting CA under them too- I will do that just because it is smaller. I guess the only think that stays consistent with my family is that DHS and AK are always at the bottom. The rest probably fluctuate depending on the day!

 

[Disney Sheri]

My choices:

4th Place: Hollywood Studios-even though it has my favorite RnR and 50's Primetime
3rd Place: Animal Kingdom
2nd Place: EPCOT
NUMBER 1: Magic Kingdom

Although, I love all of them. One year we went without going to EPCOT and one year without Animal Kingdom-it just didn't feel right. It felt like I went to visit relatives and didn't stop in to visit someone...
