What's your favorite Disney World park? And why?

Question

me and friends are going... no kids.

Answer 1

I love all the parks. When I was there over Easter a couple of weeks ago we visited all the parks and Blizzard Beach and had a blast everywhere we went. I agonized over ranking them, and put that below, but it was tough!

1. Magic Kingdom - inevitably we always spend more time and end up in the Magic Kingdom. When we were there it was with kids ages 11 and 7, however I was in Disney for my honeymoon over 14 years ago and the results were the same. The park has the most "traditional" Disney attractions and makes you feel like a kid again. They have really done a good job of updating the park (all of them actually) and keeping up with current technology for the rides while not forgetting the favorites like It's a Small world and Pirates of the Caribbean. Pirates is a must see when you are there, as they have added Capt. Jack Sparrow, Davey Jones, and Capt. Barbosa to the ride.

2. Epcot - This was the toughest call. Epcot has a little more adult things to do in it. Mission Space is good, but don't miss Test Track and Soarin', these are MUST rides. Walking around the countries is pretty cool too. We got a small bite in each country, but also ate dinner in Mexico. the food is outstanding.

2. MGM - I know this is the smaller park, but believe me there is plenty to do here. The Indiana Jones and Extreme Stunt Shows were fantastic, as is the Tower of Terror and the Rock 'N' Roller coaster w/ Aerosmith. These were by far my 11 year olds fav's, and mine too. Star Tours is good, as is the Great Movie ride, a family favorite. We ate at the 50's Prime time diner, where basically it is like you are at home with your mom or aunt in a 1050's style kitchen. My wife was yelled at for her elbows on the table, and when she didn't eat her veggies they gave them to her in a bowl with whipped cream on them. She didn't even realize that's what it was until the waitress (aunite) told her. The Sci Fi dinner drive in is good, as well as Mama Melrose's Restaruante Italiano. Also, Beauty and the Beast on stage and Fantasmic, the nighttime laser light show, are must see's.

Animal Kingdom - Expedition Everest is the best reason to go to the AK. There are pretty cool attractions in the different safari's, especially the Kilimanjaro safari, but EE is the ride to go on. Try to get a fastpass though, because the lines were very long the whole week we were there. It's tough to be a bug is good, as is the Dinosaur ride.

Hope this helps. I would recommend three places for info. One, go to www.disneyworld.com and look at all of the parks and the attractions for yourself. Second, go on the dis boards. Dis boards is the biggest source for info about Disneyworld I have found. There are more people here that go to Disney and love to share their thoughts and feelings than anywhere around. Third, pick up the Birnbaum's guide to WDW. I know there are tons of books out there, but that is the one that has worked best for us.

Have a great trip!!

Answer 2

I would say the favorite park of all families is the Magic Kingdom! It is a great all around park and is fun for everyone! I personally like epcot the best, but with small kids it would not be sutible. Mission Space is one of the most thrilling and amazing rides at the Disney World Resort and the countries are amazing. MGM does not have enough to do... and Animal kingdom does not really compare!! Hope this helps!

Answer 3

All of the parks are worth visiting, each has something great to offer, but each may offer something a little more to a particular crowd. So, if you are limited on time, then I would try to pick one or two parks and stick with them, or, if you have a little extra time, I would try to see them all. Here is my opinion for each park:

Magic Kingdom: The original park, still some of the best rides, and the opportunity to experience the real and original Disney. It is a fantastic park with quite a bit to see and do. However, this park is the most popular for younger kids since there are more rides and things for them to enjoy, as well as Toontown and things like that. If you are wanting to avoid kids, you really can't at Disney, but if you want to avoid large crowds with lots of kids, especially younger kids, then Magic Kingdom may not be the best. Also, it can get pretty crowded since it is a very popular park. It is a great park and well worth the trip, and there are several rides that I make a special trip to the park just to see. The parades and fireworks are also great.

EPCOT: This is my favorite park and if I had only one park I could go to, it would be EPCOT. The rides are really great, i.e. Mission Space and Test Track, it is a large park with lots to see. It tends to be a little more popular for adults than for kids, so it doesn't always have as many young children. EPCOT also has World Showcase, a lot of times I go to EPCOT just to eat in World Showcase since some of my favorite restaurants are there. EPCOT would definitely occupy a full day and could easily occupy more time.

MGM Studios: This is not my first choice when it comes to parks. It is a little smaller and has a few great rides and a couple of nice places to eat. It usually doesn't take a full day to see everything. It is still a fun park, but I would definitely get a hopper so I could go to another park for the rest of the day. If you wanted, you could spend the whole day there. Again, it is a lot of fun, but not my first choice.

Animal Kingdom: Another great park, several great rides, Exepedition Everest, Kali River Rapids, Kilimanjaro Safarri, etc. Also, if you like animals, it is a great place to visit. Again, it usually doesn't take a full day to see everything, but you could spend a lot of time in the park.


All the parks are great, it is hard to choose just one. I would look over the rides and see which park has the most that interest you and then go there, that way you get the most for your money.

Have a great time!

Answer 4

My favorite park is the Magic Kingdom because it has all of the rides and attractions that makes Disney World so good. I love everything about Disney World, we are going in Sept., but MK just brings back wonderful memories...

Answer 5

My personal favourite has always been Epcot. It's probably the best concept and is all about a diverse experience. At the front you have pavilions celebrating and exploring life, imagination, technology, the land, the sea etc. and then around the back you have the celebration of all the different cultures of the world. The worst for me is MGM. It feels small and cramped and doesn't have too many top attractions. Plus, it's always going to be compared to Universal Studios and Universal currently beats it in my opinion.

Answer 6

Definetly I would say Epcot. Especially if you are going without kids. The Magic Kingdom is classic if you've never been....its no where near as good as Disneyland in CA. though. So hit Epcot for sure!

Have FUN!

Answer 7

I love them all, but my favorite two are Magic Kingdom and MGM.
Magic Kingdom is the traditional, what you think of as Disney. MGM is a more adult approach to fun.

Answer 8

i assume once you're saying "february holiday" you're speaking approximately someplace between friday the fifteenth and sunday the twenty fourth of february appropriate? if so you could assume it to be somewhat crowded yet no longer TOO undesirable in view that many colleges have the week of presidents time without work and for a lot of people its chilly and snowy and dark the place they stay and that they % to destroy out and have a severe-high quality holiday. in case you're going the different time in the process february it heavily isn't crowded in any respect.

Answer 9

The one in Los Angeles, because of California Adventure!!

Answer 10

Magic Kingdom. It's still the most "magical" to me.
