6. Califonia Adventures

Most people will disagree with my AK as top pick and I can totally understand why. I just love the African and Asian feels of the park and they did such an awesome job with the animal enclosures. The details of the park are just second to none. The whole Dino carnival theme blows but everything else is just miles ahead.
I chose DL over MK as it has more rides really. The MK castle is much better but DL has IJ, a better TT and the sub ride.
I think the rest of the picks are pretty straight forward. I’m sure CA will be jumping up the list soon.

I have DL first because it is the best kept park despite few additions in what seems like years. I like Epcot especially at night in the world showcase and for it's choices of food. MK it is hard to put it this high I'm not sure it is a rich as AK or DCA but it is the symbol of WDW. DHS always seems lacking so it's the dog of the group for me.

1. Disneyland Park
2. Disney's Hollywood Studios
3. Disney's Animal Kingdom

I defiantly liked DL better than MK, Pirates, IASM, SM are way better.

EPCOT (nobody ever will have the stones to build something like it again)
Disneyland (If it ain't broke...you know the rest)
Magic Kingdom (the blessing of size)
Animal Kingdom (should be first or second...but it remains unfinished without a committment to make it great - Eisner's mistake...perpetuated)
MGM (same as DAK a little bit...only they have shown even less committment to filling out the park)
California Adventure (i have personally never been...but you can't really argue with the word on the street on this one when it's so resounding)

I'm not going to include Disneyland or DCA, I've never been there. I'm going in August though.

1. Magic Kingdom
2. Animal Kingdom/Epcot
3. Disney Hollywood Studios

It's a tie between AK and Epcot. It's so hard to decide with those two for me. I'm not a big fan of Disney's Hollywood Studios, even with the great attractions.

 

[LiveLaughLoveDisney]

Never been to Cali so cant include those

1. Epcot
2. Magic Kingdom
3. Hollywood Studios
4. Animal Kingdom

Hmmm,
I'm curious how you people would rate if food wasn't a part of the equation? When it comes to Epcot a lot of the positive experience is because of the dining establishments. Where would it stand to everyone without them?

Just curious, but why is this posted on this board? Doesn't this belong on the Parks Board? I mean it's neither news nor rumor.

I absolutely understand what you are implying. But for me Epcot is the same. I enjoy the detail a lot and also how the crowds move. By far the vistas of SE and the WS at night are much better than the other parks(Though DCA looking at Paradie Pier is also great), each country's pavillions truly transform when the sun sets.

Epcot
MK - Disneyland has more rides, but it is not in WDW
HS
AK

No park can compare to the WDW parks. Even staying at a WDW resort or traveling to the WDW parks is more exciting than being in a CA park. Don't get me wrong, I still vistit DL, but it is not the same.

 

[yitbos96bb]

Abstaining from the CA parks as I have only been twice and it has been a while...


Epcot
Animal Kingdom
Magic Kingdom
Studios

Sad, because a decade ago studios would have been #1, but that place has really gone down hill. I think it would have way smarter to rehab and expand the studios than do the Fantasyland expansion.

Easily. Its a beautiful park to walk around and explore. Just like DAK. I love DAK, plus I was opening team so it holds a softspot for me. I love the theming, Asia and Africa are awesome, Dinoland and the Chester and Hester Road side attractions are BRILLIANT satire on classic Americana. Too many people fail to get this area, but its one of the best themes they have done, from the signing to the street to the rickety "ripoff" of Countdown to Extinction (Much better name than the failed film known as Dinosaur). Plus DInoland has the best backstory I have heard. Unfortunately some of that got lost when the Grad Student Streetmosphere were gotten rid of.

whoa there, Newt!!!

I agree with some of your sentiments about AK...but the chester and hester thing needs a history lesson here.

Animal Kingdoms gate fell rapidly after the first year and they continued to leak oil over the first four...a primary complaint was lack of attractions and the park was emptying out around midday...
chester and hester was complete off-the-shelf hurry up garbage. That's what it was...filler for a park that opened with one safari ride, a motion simulator, a 3-D show, and one horrible rafting tube junket....

let's not get TOO carried away here

Dinorama reminds me of a lot of areas you would find within a hundred miles of a dig site in the west. Quite seriously places like this, less the two rides, were built in the 50s-70s all over. Not that it is well placed in AK but it isn't so bad when compared to the Hamarabi Village in Africa.
