Which Park on arrival day?

We should be at the CRS no later than 11:00 a.m. (Good Friday)after a short 2 hour flight with no lay-over, which park would you go to?

If you have children who are small, then the Magic Kingdom (MK)is a must! If you have children who are older and love exciting rides, then MGM or EPCOT is a good choice. If you are adults alone without any children, then EPCOT is great. You can't go wrong with any of the parks except don't go to Animal Kingdom because it closes the earliest of all the parks and you won't get to do very much.
When my son was small, he always wanted to go into the MK. Saying all of that, we now have PAP's and my 11 yr. old son wants to go to Disney Quest the first evening we get in, go figure!

My children are 13 and 15 and none of us have ever been to Disney and I just noticed the hours at MK for that day, they are open until midnight

Assuming you're there for the week - I wouldn't go to any of them! We usually hang out at our resort pool and then either go to DTD or to another resort for dinner in the evening. Sort of a "charge" to get ready for the rest of the trip! 3 years ago we went and ate at Palio's and then surprised DH with an Illuminations Cruise for his birthday on our first day there. That way we saw Illuminations without burning a day on the hoppers!

If you're just there for a few days and have to go somewhere it really depends on the people in your party! My suggestion is sort of the opposite of tcfdick! If you have small children I'd go to Epcot since that's usually not their "favorite" like MK is. Or if you've been before - go to whatever park has something new since your last visit.
