Here is a fantastic thread from the archives of this very site (but David L gave a brilliant account of Disney attractions):

It has a fairly good set of results of people's favourite attractions. Hope this helps ;)
Magic Kingdom ABSOLUTELY the WORST is the speedway. It's an enormous waste of some of the most valuable real estate on the planet.
Primeval Whirl at Animal Kingdom.
Snow White's Scary Adventures at Magic Kingdom.
Figment at Epcot.
Sounds Dangerous at Hollywood Studios.
I really don't mind the Tiki Room or Stitch's Great Escape. Sue me.
^^ The worst btw.
And the best?
Tower of Terror at Hollywood Studios.
Expedition Everest at Animal Kingdom.
Haunted Mansion/Space Mountain at Magic Kingdom.
Spaceship Earth at Epcot.
With the exception of Everest, I keep having recurring dreams about going on those rides for the first time back when I was at the impressionable age of 9. The sounds, sights, smells......no-one can do that like Disney.
All you guys hating on Figment are breaking my heart.
Epcot is my favorite Disney Park, and Journey into Imagination easily ranks as a best in my book. It's an old school, fun dark ride. There's usually no line, since it's easily the best kept secret in the park.
Other bests in Epcot are Spaceship Earth: The Ride (Hands down WDW's best true Dark Ride, I love it more than my beloved Mansion), Ellen's Energy Adventure (incredible presentation and I love me some Bill Nye), Mission Space (the most intense ride in the resort), Test Track (fantastic, fast, and FUN), Maelstrom (very cool, if short), The Three Amigos (Short, but fun), Living with the Land (the best of the boat rides, IMO), and American Adventure (always loved it, but was moved to tears after I saw it post-deployment to Iraq).
Soarin' didn't leave much of an impression, Captain EO was cool if dated, and the Seas is okay if you LOVE Nemo (though the line is fantastic).
I've never seen any of the various films at World Showcase, as they never really interested me.
Figment is awesome!
As everyones opinions are different, you need to see WDW if you never have. You will be amazed, but you need time, especially in the summer.
