which park to visit

[scmommy]

Hi all,
I am looking for some help. We went to MK in March and are returning to stay at the ASMu in August. We will be visiting one park and I need help to decide what park to go to. My kids are 8,6 and 5. I am leaning towards MGM. My kids are real "ride" kids and love to go on tons of rides, so I am not usre what park - other than MK would be good for them
Any input would be great!!
Thanks

Well...if your kids are into rides, MGM has a few good thrill rides, but not as many as AK or Epcot. I think Animal Kingdom has a lot to offer in the way of rides - and you could experience Disney's newest ride- Expedition Everest!

If I had to choose one park, though, I think I would go with Epcot. It has some good rides, excellent restaurants, and lots to see and do!

Okay....you'll have to pick, but here's the breakdown
EPCOT
Body Wars (thrill ride)
El Rio del Tiempo (boat ride)
Journey into the Imagination (track ride)
Living with the Land (Boat ride)
Maelstrom (Boat ride w/drop)
Mission Space (thrill ride)
Soarin (film/ ride)
Spaceship Earth (track ride)
Test Track (thrill ride)
Universe of Energy (film/ride)

MGM
The Great Movie Ride (film/ride)
Rock 'n' Rollercoaster (thrill ride)
Star Tours (thrill ride)
Studios Backlot Tour (tram ride)
Twilight Zone Tower of Terror (thrill ride)

AK
Dinosaur (thrill ride)
Expedition Everest (thrill ride & newest ride in WDW)
Kali River Rapids (raft ride - prepare to be very wet)
Kilmanjaro Safaris (ride)
Primeval Whirl (coaster)
Tricera Top Spin (ride)
Wildlife Express Train to Rafiki's Planet Watch (train ride)

Now, with that out of the way...will you have at least a one day hopper? AK closes early most of the time, so if you don't have a hopper, you need to figure out what to do with those kids at night! If you don't have hopper passes, my suggestion would be to find out which park has the evening EMH (if you are staying on property) and go to that park, you'll get the most time in the park!
Have a magical time!
