Which part of Walt Disney World do you think would be more fun for teenagers and adults?

I think it all depends on the individual type of people. Some groups like all the rides, shows, characters, etc that all the parks have to offer.
Overall, though, if I had to pick 2 of the 4 theme parks at Disney World, I would suggest Epcot and MGM. Some people get turned off by Epcot because they get the impression that it is too "educational". But for rides they have a few of the best: Soarin', Test Track, Mission to Mars...to name a few. Many of the exhibits and rides are educational, but they can be really fun and interesting.
MGM is themed more to movies. There is a beautiful Beauty & the Beast show that is just as good (if not better than) anything on Broadway!! This park has several good rides, too. Rock N Roller Coaster is awesome (features music by Aerosmith), The Hollywood Tower of Terror, and Star Tours are pretty good.
I go to Disney every year with my sister (age 60), her two daughters (ages 31 & 41), my son (age 25) and myself (age 44). We are all adults, but we have the best time! It is so much fun to feel like a kid again!

Epcot Center. No Question. You have rides like Mission Space (simulated shuttle journey to Mars), Test Track (how a car is put through it's paces inc. a high speed test), Soarin' (opened summer 2005 - absolutely awesome). Plus a load of informational rides and World Showcase (countries of the world, with representatives from each country featured).
MGM and Animal Kingdom take joint second place. Both are pretty good for the first and second visit - esp. Tower of Terror at MGM, but soon get pretty boring unless you're into animals and older rides, although MGM now has the motor stunt show which is also pretty cool.
Last place, among the main parks, I'm afraid goes to Magic Kingdom. There isn't really a lot here for teenagers and adults. Splash Mountain and Thunder Mountain Railroad are ok, but take a back-seat to similar rides at other parks. Space Mountain is also ok, but is showing it's age (36 I believe, this year). unless you're a big kid in disguise, it's only worth spending a few hours here.
Now the other stuff (I'm telling you, Disneyworld is HUGE, man):
Top of the water parks has to be the awesome Blizzard Beach. It's an Alpine Ski Resort-themed water park, complete with ski-runs and a mountain - except this IS Florida, so all the snow melted (lol). You seriously have to try this one.
Number two here, is Typhoon Lagoon. Won't say much about it, apart from it's a tropical paradise - well worth checking out.
No more water parks, but next we have Dowtown Disney. During the day, you have shopping, dining and other things to check out - Cirque de Soleil, a 24 screen theatre, a Blues club (plays pretty much everything) and an indoor theme park. At night, the place comes alive at Pleasure Island with 5 clubs to dance at, and 2 comedy clubs. Paaarrttay.
If all that doesn't exhaust you, you can go back and do it all again!
Enjoy your vacation

Disney is for kids of all ages. Every park has something for somebody. Some rides may be tailored for younger ones, others for older, but it is hard to say. My husband, and other adult male friends of his, think the Buzz Lightyear ride in the Magic Kingdom is fantastic, and compare scores, and new found high scoring Z targets, after each visit. And how could you not want to see the Haunted House? Epcot is something to enjoy as a teenager because you can really appreciate what you're experiencing. But on the other hand, a few may see it as boring, and educational. MGM is definitely for older kids with "scary" people in character and extreme shows and rides. Animal Kingdom is a relaxing day at the zoo.
Get a park hopper and enjoy it all. Get a Disney vacation planning package and go ahead and rule out what you know you're not interested in. It's a crowded place, getting through takes strategy. Have a great trip. We can't wait to go back this summer.

Animal Kingdom is the best zoo you will ever go to and the way it is laid out it will consume your entire day.
Epcot was awesome they had a few great rides and a lot of cool exhibits. Also around the lake they have a host of nations with exhibits and each of them will have a place to eat there. I found this to be the most reasonably priced meal in the entire disney complex.
Have a great time.

I am like everyone else, I think every park has a lot to offer. I personally think that you can't really skip any parts of the parks, since there are great rides and attractions in every park for every age. While Magic Kingdom may be more for the smaller kids, I really like Space Mtn., Pirates of the Caribbean (especially now since Capt. Jack Sparrow is in the ride), and the Haunted Mansion. If I had to choose only one part for adults and teens, its a toss up between Epcot and MGM. The Aerosmith Rock'N'Roller coaster, Tower of Terror, and the other attractions in MGM are all great. Epcot has Mission Space, Test Track, Soarin', and the countries. Tough call.

They are all pretty good. Here's one quick tip:
Magic Kingdom has a lot of great stuff for adults and teens but during the day it is filled with kids and families. A few nights a week, they keep the park open till 2AM and only keep open the "adult rides". It used to be called E-Ride nights and used to cost money but the last time I was there it was free. Just find out what day it is, head to the park around 7pm, and look for the people giving out wrist bands. That way you get the best of the Magic Kingdom without wasting a whole day.

I agree that EPCOT and Animal Kingdom are both great parks for adults and teenagers, however, don't rule out MGM Studios. They have a lot of interesting memorabilia there, as well as audience participation for all ages. Throw in a couple of fun thrill rides and it makes for a great day! Have fun!

Epcot and MGM. Not really Magic Kingdom or Animal Kingdom because they are aimed at little kids. Blizzard Beach and Typhoon Lagoon are good fun too.
