Which Disney park is your favourite?

Just out of curiosity!

I don't think I can pick...

I think I'm joint first for Magic Kingdom and Hollywood Studios, then Animal Kingdom, and then Epcot.

I don't think anything can beat the magic of Magic Kingdom, and walking down Main Street for the first time, with all the noises and smells around you and seeing the castle

but there's also something I love about Hollywood Studios that I can't put my finger on, and I haven't even been to Toy Story Land yet!

I love all of the parks for different reasons.

MK - this is Disney for me. I went as a child and now I get to share the magic with my kids.
Epcot - I love the world pavillions and living with the land always makes me happy.
HS - I love the architecture and the feel of the park. Also I am sooo excited by Star Wars opening.
AK - Animals. Disney. Together = win/win.

Ooo, we have a similar countdown! When we booked last Summer I purposely picked our date as Stars Wars was late Fall, and then as updates came in I thought we were going to miss it by a few weeks. I was so pleased with the announcement that we're going to be there

Favourites in order:

Epcot for the food and wine festival, interesting shops, soarin', test track, living with the land (a guilty pleasure for me) and club cool. Losing that last one though soon

I really love walking round it, trying cool new snacks/drinks. Also has the best music.

Animal Kingdom for the safari, everest, Dinosaur, the animal trails and FoP. I love the lush greenery, doesn't feel like a theme park to me, and I love all the animals. Jambo!

Hollywood studios and MK are tied for my least favourites (or were, star wars will be open next time I'm there, might change things.) MK has more stuff, love the mountains. Not all that fussed on the castle, was never my icon of Disney, for me that was the Epcot sphere.

Main issue (though not the only one) with MK for me is the crowds and the way people behave, even in September last year it was horrific. People are walking every which way, near Splash mountain I counted FIVE major directions of people to try and keep track of all merging into one open area. I nearly got taken out several times by rogue walkers/drivers. Will be skipping it next trip for this reason.

Hollywood studios has its own problems. I miss lights motors action (the old, proper one) and the backlot tour, the great movie ride was cool in 2009. Things shut but nothing opened to replace them until recently. I'll be interested to see if Disney can bring it back from its current coma. I'm sure they will, no doubt it will be my number 3 fave next trip.

Magic Kingdom for the "I'm back home" feeling of walking down Main Street on the first day of the holiday but I do have a soft spot for Epcot, particularly world showcase.

Haha, our lists are reversed! To be fair, I do love Epcot, it's just the one I like the least out of them all. My mind could be changed to put it up the list after this trip as we're finally going to be there for the food & wine festival, and I am very excited about all the food! I am sad about Club Cool though and wondering whether I'm going to get one last visit!

Also, Everest is my favourite ride! So I think I like AK for the rides, although I do love ToT and Toy Story Mania...

I think I just like MK for the atmosphere (bar the craziness from people)

Hollywood Studios is our favourite! Toy Story Mania, Rockin Rollercoaster, ToT, Fantasmic, Star Wars fireworks, and the carrot cake cookie!

I also just love the decor and vibes

RockTheDots · 10 Apr 19, 11:51 AM

I love them all but MK will always be my fave - I just love that magical feeling when you first enter and see the castle and Main Street. I'm a big fan of fireworks too and the MK fireworks are my favourite.

We will be getting to the end of our holiday just as you arrive! I am very excited that Galaxy's Edge will be open when we are there.
