Do you like Epcot, Animal Kingdom, Magic kingdom, or DHS the best? And i guess Disney land too. I personally like Epcot and Magic kingdom the best.

EPCOT and then probably Animal Kingdom. Science major, go figure!

Disneyland Paris is actually my favorite of the Disney parks I've been to, but at WDW I think it's a toss-up between AK and Epcot.

Disney's Hollywood Studios is my favorite! For many reasons. For one, I work there! I also love movies and am studying film in college, so I love the theme...it has my 3 favorite WDW rides: TSM, ToT, and RnR; my favorite show: Fantasmic; my favorite parade: Block Party Bash; my favorite holiday event: Osborne Spectacle of Dancing Lights; my favorite special event: ESPN the Weekend; my favorite classical ride: Great Movie Ride; my favorite restaurant: Hollywood and Vine; and attractions based on or featuring on of my all time favorite films: Raiders of the Lost Ark; plus the music of John Williams plays in the background, which is great!

We get loads of question posed on TPI but this one has to be one of the toughest to answer.
You are asking about WDW only aren't you ?. So that excludes Disneyland where it all started.
As I began my reply it was going to be Magic Kingdom because it encapsulates , for me, the whole Disney ethic.
Then ,as I read Melissa and Anthony's comments, I changed my mind to EPCOT. It's a wonderful place.
Before I chose EPCOT I read Corey's piece on Hollywood Studios and his argument reminded me how much I enjoy that Park and convinced me that HS should get my vote.
But hang on. What about Animal Kingdom ? That's a fantastic Park too.
So there you have it. My favourite WDW park is :

The Experimental Magic Animal Kingdom of Hollywood Prototype Studios.

I have to go with Disneyland (or Disneyland's Magic Kingdom as they now call it). It all started there and you can still see Walt's personal touches everywhere you look from the unfinished spire on the castle to his personal apartment above the fire station. I've watched the video from opening day over and over and I can still see many of the scenes from that static filled, black and white video more than 50 years later. Plus, it has the best Pirates ride and packs more adventure into less space than any other park. Disneyland wins. Easily.

Disneyland Park! This is mostly because it is not so large that you can't figure out where exactly you are or that you are soooooo tired of walking that you wouldn't mind if you missed a few big rides! Disneyland also has a slightly smaller version of most of the best along with amazing rides WDW doesn't even have, and because of the size of each ride can put even more detail. And finally, Disneyland is most important because it was the first park of them all! And once DCA is finished, this will be a very amazing resort!

Hilarious answer Rob! They should change the resort name from WDW to that. LOL

So far I have only been to MK and DHS (that will all change in June when I get add the other two to the list). So far I like both parks but for different reasons. If it's a family trip then it's MK just to enjoy those magical moments with my kids. If its just me then I would go with DHS. However I love Zoos so I am really excited to see AK. Epcot has me curious but no real expecation there.

Considering all U.S. Disney parks-
1. Disneyland- the original, nothing is close to it
2. Epcot- huge park that is very unique and interesting
3. Animal Kingdom- animals combined with Disney storytelling is definitely a good thing
4. WDW Magic Kingdom- it's the most popular theme park in the world for a reason
5. Disney's California Adventure- will definitely climb up this list after the additions and renovations are completed
6. Disney's Hollywood Studios- a great park but due to the other choices this one gets the final spot

MAKE HP.... Anthony ? Brilliant !

That could either be the saucy answer or even Disney making Hire Purchase agreements to extend the Parks.

I already posted my essay on the WDW parks. So if we are talking about all parks:

1. Magic Kingdom
2. EPCOT
3. Disneyland
4. Disney Hollywood Studio
5. Animal Kingdom
6. California Adventure

Nothing comes close to Disneyland. The first, the original, the one Disney made himself.

I was thinking Harry Potter, but your idea works too! :)

I knew you meant Harry P but I couldn't resist.

Mind you I think I'm right in thinking that WDW had 1st option on Harry P but , rightly, turned it down.

I wonder if that decision might ever come back to bite them ? Doubt it.
