Default Favourite Park?

Whats your fave and why? For me its close between MK and Epcot, but MK has the edge for me just for the atmosphere.

The MK is the most representative of all that I love about Disney. The fairy tale/fantasy theming complete with a Castle at the heart of it, the rides that rely heavily on animatronics and details that tell a story, the whole idea that you're in a magic place away from the real world, I love it for all of these things. All the parks have some elements of it, but the MK is the one that pulls it all together best for me. If I had to pick one park to visit for the rest of my life, it would easily be the MK.

MK.....the first is still the best! The old favorites are there....POTC, SM, HM, CoP, BTMRR, Peter Pan, Jungle Cruise....To us, Splash is a new add, but fits right in.....

The attention to detail, the well planned lay out....everything optimizes the Magic.....

My vote is a tribute to many fond memories, from our first trip, in 75, to other family trips in the 80's, to our whole family trip for Christmas in 2000....

To generations of our family, to generations of Cast Members.....Thank you for all you have done, and all you do! In the end, it is the continued tireless efforts of CM's that makes it all come together. Just off camera for all our family pictures of smiling kids and grandkids is the CM who was responsible for that smile.

This is tough cause I like MK and Epcot alot more then the other parks.
I choose Epcot, I like how it has the rides and WS for a nice stroll. I also like how more open Epcot is, MK seems like it can get pretty crowded and the walkways aren't that wide in some areas.

I chose Magic Kingdom. It's almost always our 1st park and I still get excited when we first get on Main Street.

Loved the shows at Hollywood Studios.
Loved the animals at Animal Kingdom.
Loved the Pavilions at Epcot.
REALLY loved World Showcase -- I could have spent a few days there!
But ....

Magic Kingdom is the only one that overwhelmed me to the point of tears. Magic Kingdom *IS* DisneyWorld . Main Street, the Castle, the theming, the classic rides I've heard about since I was small ... DS7 could NOT understand why Mummy stopped dead in the middle of the street and whispered, "We're in Disney World ... we're really in Disney World!" especially since we had visited all the other parks first!

I voted the MK but EPCOT is a close 2nd. MK has the most for the whole family but when I want to get "away from it all" its a trip to EPCOT.

I love all things Disney, but no doubt MK is my favorite park! It is the original! This is where the magic of Disney lives! When I am there, I am a kid again! Especially in Fantasyland!

As much as I love AK, I have to say that MK is my favorite, as it's the first place I have to go after we arrive to feel like we're really "there"! Seeing that castle just does it for me, and from that moment on, I'm in another world.

I can't believe Studios hasn't had any takers yet, and I though Epcot would be doing a little better

MK because it has more different themes in on park then the others. I can easily spend a full day at MK then any other.

Epcot and MK are pretty close - I love them both for different reasons, but MK is magic.

I love Epcot, but it's always gotta be MK. When I see that castle for the first time each visit, it still gets me all misty.
Especially this past Christmas, it actually stopped me in my tracks, hand over mouth, tears in eyes, goosebumps, etc.

And of course, it IS the most magical place on Earth!
