Out of all of the Disney Theme Parks, I would say... Magic Kingdom is my favorite. It's classic, fun, and reminds me of the movies that I love to watch. What is your's?

I'd have to agree with you. MK will always remind me of the summer evenings when I was a kid watching the Wonderful World of Disney. The opening of that program, which showed scenes from POTC in DL, is what made me want to visit WDW the most.:wave::balloon::mickey:

It was really hard for me to choose between Magic Kingdom and Epcot, but I had to go with Magic Kingdom since it is the original! :mickey:

This is tough - the first park I go to and one I think of the most is MK.

However, when I think about my favorite, it's got to be Epcot.

Magic Kingdom of course. If you were to go to Disney World without going to Magic Kingdom, it's like going to the movies then not actually seeing a movie.

I think that we spend more time in Epcot than any other park, but I had to pick MK. It wouldn't be the same without MK.

Hard one...I couldn't say I loved them all because I am usually in and out of AK in about 3 hours.

For classic, I love MK. BUT, the beauty and ambiance of MGM Studios at night just does something to me. Gorgeous...yes, and I know it isn't MGM anymore, but it always will be to me.

I have to say MK. It's the park where I feel the most like a kid again. :cloud9:

Gorgeous...yes, and I know it isn't MGM anymore, but it always will be to me.Yes, I know what you mean. I really love the Studios at night. Walking down Sunset Blvd with the beautifully lit and ominous ToT at the end of the street, the Chinese theater, the quiet beauty of the Star Tours Ewok village and Muppetvision area. I love that end of the park near closing time. It always seems to empty out and you almost have it all to yourself.

Of course, I love all of the parks at night - there's something so amazingly magical about nighttime at WDW. The way everything is lit is so perfect. Although, I can say I've never been to AK when it's dark out. Hopefully I'll get a chance in Sept on an extra magic hours night.

It's really sad that people have to choose. I love them all because they are all themed differently and give a variety of entertainment to all walks of life. Who can resist the animals and special effects at Animal Kingdom, or the history of the movies and arts at Disney Studios. Sure EPCOT is geared towards culture and technology and Magic Kingdom is pure magic and I visit these two more only because it takes so long to see EVERYTHING there, but I love them all equally.:blush:

Epcot is a close second, but MK just IS WDW to me. Nothing is quite as magical.

Had to go with Magic Kingdom. No matter how long our stay, its always the first park we go to and the last park before we leave for home.

MK by a landslide. Always our first and last stop. To me it is Disney.:mickey:

07-23-2008, 12:05 PM
We always start and end our trip in MK we do love it...but I can't help it I chose Epcot, I love all of the country's and it's just so beautiful!

i went with epcot this time (may or may not have gone with mk in previous polls) mk is where we start and end all of our trips but i think we spend most of our time @ epcot

I wimped out on this one and chose the "I love them all" option. More accurately: I love them all, but AK only until noon hour.

I voted for all. I like some more than others, but had to go with all the same. Each one has a uniqeness and has one of my favorites in it. Epcot=favorite restaurants (most any in world showcase). MK=favorite rides (LOVE the classic dark rides). DHS=favorite closing show (FANTASMIC). AK=favorite stage show (FOTLK).

I picked "Too hard to decide" because each park has can't miss features.

But, if I only had a one day ticket, I'd go to Epcot.

I have to go with MK. Can't beat if for variety of rides or the classic themes!

When im with the wife and kids MK is the place for us.


But the deep secret is.....
I adore Epcot by myself!

I couldn't decide. I love the MK, always will!! And, I'm sure it is going be a lot of fun in Sept with my 3 1/2 yr old - we are gonna have a blast.

But, at the same time, drinking around the world is fun at EPCOT.

Mk is a classic, AK is a close second.

Magic Kingdom of course!:mickey:

07-24-2008, 02:08 PM
Everytime I see/hear this question I always say Magic Kingdom. It's the epitome of Disney. EPCOT does come in a pretty close 2nd, but MK will always be the best for me!!

However, when I think about my favorite, it's got to be Epcot.

:exactly: This was a tough one for me too! We always got to the MK on 1st & last park days, but we also do 2 days of Epcot! One day for FW & one day for WS. I love the diversity of Epcot! Having both the rides and all the other fantastic attractions and the lush landscaping, Epcot is probably my fav! :thumbsup:

MegaDisney
07-25-2008, 09:04 PM
Animal Kingdom. The themeing and landscaping is incredible and really takes you away. :number1:

I find Epcot kinda boring.

I love Disneyland so much that the MK seems like a failed attempt to capture the magic of Disneyland.

And Hollywood Studios seems poorly laid out and doesn't have much to do.

IMHO of course!

Magic Kingdom for sure. For me I would plan a trip to Orlando to just go to MK. On the flipside, if MK did not exist and the other parks did.........Me might plan a trip once every 5 or 10 years. I suppose MK just brings make so many wonderful childhood memories and the other parks are just theme parks to me.

If I only had one park to visit it would have to be the Magic Kingdom. Classic Disney magic.

While my hands down favorite attraction is at MK, COP, my favorite park is Epcot. There is just something about Future World that excites me. But I love all of the world ;).

07-28-2008, 07:27 AM

MK by far. The most memories are in that park and new ones are made each and everytime we walk in and see the Castle.

for my first favorite i would have to choose Magic Kingdom because it can make u feel like a kid again no matter how old u are! and i also like MGM studios because of the fact that everything is supposed to back be back in old hollywood and i love that kind of thing... but i dont know if it still that way since i have not been there since they changed it!!!!

It was so hard to choose. I love them all too.

I would choose Epcot, but when I think about the excitment on my daughter's face when we are walking up to MK, I had to go with that.:mickey:

My favorite WDW theme park would have to be the Magic Kingdom. Every single time that i think, hear or see and ad about walt disney world you see the Cinderella's castle. The castle is the sole theme park trade mark for the Magic Kingdom.

Every time this topic comes up, I'm always struck by the fact that the parks have a popularity factor that descends in direct corrleation to when they were built (inverse, from oldest to newest).

I think that speaks volumes about the effort that went into building the two newest parks as compared to the effort that went into the first two.

MK for me. Nice to know I stand out in a crowd . . . :mickey:

It's hard to pick a favorite because each park has something(s) I love, but it all started with MK and it all starts there for me.

My laughin' place is a Doom Buggy! (That's pretty good. I may have to add that to my sig).

I believe that EPCOT, HS, and AK are expansions of the original dream found in the Magic Kingdom. That is the mother ship and where all the magic finds its advent.

for me it's DHS , when we first visited WDW back in 95, this was the first park that we went too, and we had just gotten there when they were haveing they're parade at that time( i think it was aladin), and this just made me say wow this is great, and i also liked the feel at the park, loved the great movie ride (still do), backlot tour was much better then it is now, but i still like it now, being a movie buff, it just hit home with me, and to this day this is my fav park , dw's fav is mk, but i must say that i like them all, they're all different which is great. if i had to list them it would go as follows
1. DHS
2. Epcot
3. MK
4. AK

I love them all, but if I had to choose, it would be Epcot. The atmosphere is more relaxed, and to be able to experience so many different cultures in one place is something that only Disney could accomplish.:thumbsup:

MK holds the most memories for me. No matter how many times I go it's never enough. I always seem to discover something new. Each time I walk down Main St. that Disney magic just hits me. :mickey: I love the other parks but MK will always be number one for me. :number1:

I truly do love 'em all. However, if I were only there for 1 day and could only do 1 park, I can't think of anything I'd like better than a late afternoon/evening stroll around WS lagoon in EPCOT,sampling all the local foods, drinks, and music, and topping off the evening with a fantastic Illuminations show! :cloud9:
