    Default Favorite Theme Park?

    I was curious to know what is your favorite theme park? Mine personally is tied between Epcot and Magic Kingdom.

    Not even close. If World Showcase didn't exist, I would not go to WDW even a 5th of how often I go. Maybe even less.

    scar hit the nail on the head!

    Don't get me wrong, a MK is so close and Space Mountain is one of my favorite things on Earth, but Epcot has always been tops for me. Spaceship Earth is my favorite attraction, and the World Showcase is right there with it. I also love to learn, and always come away with something each trip...

    I love all of the parks, but Magic Kingdom simply has more top notch attractions than the rest of the parks, and is by far my favorite theme park in the world.

    I picked MK, but honestly I love Epcot just as much!

    My kiddos and I just had this converstation in the car while running errands! DS12 said his favorite parks are Epcot and DHS. DS10 said his are DHS and Animal Kingdom, then he wanted to add Epcot too!

    Like many others, mine is between MK and Epcot. I voted MK in the poll though because the MK is classic Disney!

    I think that the majority of adults would pick Epcot, and I agree with them. LOVE Epcot. I get chills when I hear the Soarin' theme. I could listen to the Epcot Entrance Loop all day. Love eating ice cream and watching the Fountain of Nations. Spaceship Earth is just about my favorite attraction (don't know why....it just calls to me.) We even bought a little tile on the monoliths out front. I wake my kids up in the morning playing the audio from the "Gran Fiesta Tour".

    All that said, I love the other three parks equally. I love AK for its amazing theming and the quality of what few rides there are. I love DHS for TSM, RnRC, and the excellent shows. I love the Magic Kingdom, well, because that IS Disney.

    Tough question, but I picked MK. MK is truly my "happy place" all the sights and sounds just do it for me.

    I love Epcot very much but AK gets my vote, I have the most magical memories there and that park is so very fun and beautiful to me!

    Funny how it changes sometimes. After my first visit, MGM (DHS) was my favorite park. Love the giant hat, the great thrill rides, and the cool shows.

    But now it's Epcot. The world showcase is so great. And I love Illuminations. Plus the thematic music through the park is great.

    It can never be MK because, other than the castle, Disneyland is a better park. Not a better experience for vacations, but a better park for sure.

    Pretty much exactly what I expected to see.

    I've said it a million times, but Disney World's theme parks have gotten progressively worse since they've opened. The original continues to be the most popular while the two newest are distant also-rans. Let's face it ... if DHS or AK weren't tied to MK and Epcot their attendance would plummet.

    Frankly, I'm flabbergasted that three people voted for Animal Kingdom, which is the park I would rank a distant last. Itzazhu.

    That's a bit brutal, don't cha think?

    Everyone enjoys their vacation in different ways and WDW offers a great cross section. It may be "azhu" to you, but it has a beauty all it's own (especially at night) And I will take it over any other park if given only a day.

    I love all four parks and always have a hard time picking a favorite. I normally say MK because it IS Disney, but I too love Spaceship Earth for some reason I can't come up with.

    It was tough for me to decide between Epcot and MK, but I ended up deciding tht Epcot is my favorite park. Next is MK, DHS, and finally AK. If it weren't for the safari I would probably not even go to AK on our trips.
