    Talking Only 2 parks, which to do?

    I'm taking a trip with my girlfriend (Both 23) to WDW from 3/5-3/9, during which we have 2-day base tickets so we can only choose 2 parks to go to. MK is a definite, and I always preferred EPCOT over all others when I was in my early teens, but I have not been since I was 14 and many things at WDW have changed.

    What do you all think would be the best park, other than MK to go to for the day for 2 young adults. We enjoy rides, shows, experiences, everything so just fire away with suggestions. Thank you

    We love Epcot so I'd spend my extra day there. If you loved it when you were a teenager I think you'll love it now.

    Cool

    I also would say Epcot. Took our cousin for the first time this year and she thought Illuminations was one of the best things she'd ever seen.

    Hands down Epcot. DBF and I went (both 23 also) and had a blast doing World Showcase. While I had always loved it growing up he had never been and we really enjoyed eating/drinking our way around the world

    If I only had two parks to visit...it would have to be MK and Epcot

    However, you guys being "young uns" and all...maybe you might like DHS with Tot & RnR over Epcot. Not sure....guess it just depends on what you are interested it more...thrill rides or food and atmosphere. Also DHS does have Fantasmic....which we LOVE! (see, I couldn't do just 2 parks!)

    Well I think it depends on what you like. If you truly want to experience authentic Walt Disney World -- they my vote is for Epcot. It is an amazingly beautiful park with lots of great attractions. It has great food options and lots of culture and to me it is just more Disney than the other two.

    However, if you don't care that much about the Disney-ness of it all, then I might go with DHS. DHS has more thrill rides than Epcot, has fantasmic, Rock n Roller Coaster, Tower of Terror, and more.

    So I guess it comes down to what do you want... more thrill (DHS) or more Disney (Epcot). If it were me, I would pick Epcot. Either way, enjoy your trip! We will be down there at the same time!!

    Small world, I used to live in Southampton, PA..

    anyway, by far, the best place for you and your girl would be Epcot, specifically, World Showcase. The two of you, walking the promanade, great setting for two adults.

    Magic Kingdom and Epcot! No doubt about it!

    Not only are these my favorite parks.....but in reality for what you will want to do, Disney's Animal Kingdom is really only a half-day park.
    And, if I ever went to Walt Disney World and missed out on Epcot, it feel like I had missed so much.
    May all the days of your life be filled with Magic!

    My choice would also be for EPCOT. Great atmosphere, great dining choices, and Illuminations make it an easy choice for me.

    Looks like everyone agrees.

    if DW and I were in the same position, we'd also choose Epcot. Talk about a cool day with the DW, walking around Epcot, trying foods from here and there, perhaps an adult beverage and dont forget the streetmosphere actors, Off Kilter, Bristich invasion....Man i'm ready to go too!!

    Thumbs up

    Definately Epcot! If you haven't been there in 9 years, you may have been on Test Track but Mission Space opened in 2003 and Soarin in 2005... thats if you are interested in the rides... I always spend an evening with my husband walking around WS and ending the night with in Mexico watching Illuminations, which is the best show in Disney, IMO

    Without a DOUBT Epcot.

    You get 2 parks in one. You get the BEST food on premises. You get some of the most innovative and creative attractions. You get AMAZING shopping.

    Honestly, EPCOT has everything worth having

    AK and DHS have some great rides, but for spending a whole day immersed in the Disney experience, you can't beat EPCOT.

    You've got some great rides like Soarin' and Test Track, great shows like Liberty Voices, Off Kilter or Fab Four, dozens of cool and funky shops, and every type of cuisine you could imagine. Get there early and use that day to it's fullest!

    I have to agree with everyone that has said EPCOT. You really can't beat the World Showcase and rides like Test Track and Soarin' at Future World. Have fun!!!
