WDW Magic Kingdom!!!!

Oh silly me. I saw the 100% for MK and didn't realize only 2 of us voted so far.

Sorry its Anaheim all the way for me

Gotta go with the orginial and pay homage to my man, Walt. Don't get me wrong, I love WDW and especially Epcot, but it has to be DLR Magic Kingdom all the way in this poll.

Wow nobody really like california adventure i thought that was the better park, i dunno i go to WDW!

Got to Go with Disneyland. It was my first Disney Experience and I love it. I have spent a week or two down in the World but I go from Park to Park. With DLR I spent the entire 8 days in that one park with only 4 1/2 hours over in DCA, and I wasn't tired of it afterwards I just wanted to go back.

I don't know who told you that, but they lied.

Disneyland all the way. It's the easy winner in my opinion when compared to the individual parks of WDW (whereas, if you asked me whether I liked the Disneyland Resort or Walt Disney World better, my vote is in Orlando)...

There are more rides at Disneyland than at the Magic Kingdom, by far. Sure, some of those rides exist at other WDW theme parks (Star Tours, Honey I Shrunk the Audience)... but many cannot be found in Florida at all, like Alice in Wonderland, Mr. Toad's Wild Ride, Storybookland Canal Boats, Matterhorn Bobsleds, Roger Rabbit's Car-Toon Spin, Buzz Lightyear's Astro-Blasters (and no, it really isn't the same as BL's Space Ranger Spin at MK), and the Indiana Jones Adventure...

The castle is more charming and less imposing. The original installation of Pirates of the Caribbean is longer and far superior. There are two boats on our Rivers of America.

What's WDW's MK got different/better? Well, here are few things... Country Bear Jamboree, a superior Winnie the Pooh ride, Mickey's Philharmagic, Stitch's Great Escape (blecch), BLSRS vs. BLAB (I prefer the Anaheim version), The Hall of Presidents (different, but similar enough in my opinion to be a tossup with Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln), and the original Swiss Family Treehouse.

While many of those things are great, the sheer volume of things to do at Disneyland... and that fact that it's the only Disney park in which Uncle Walt actually strolled around... make it head and shoulders the best single North American park in the Disney repertoire.

In my humble opinion, of course.

Disney California, no way. Its Disneyland, the original, the best, the land I love, stand beside her and guide her with a light from above.....ha ha ha, sounded like a good time to bring in part of that song

I went with EPCOT because as a returning guest, it's the park that changes most often and there's always new things to do. Plus I've had a lot of great memories there. MK comes in a close second because it wouldn't be WDW without it...

I've never been to Disneyland...yes I know, I'm deprived

I went with Epcot because it's so unique relative to the other parks.

Epcot is my favorite park--I think it goes all the way back to the '64 World's Fair. I didn't get to go there, but I was obsessed with it. I had a set of postcards with pictures of all the pavillions that was a prized possession. Epcot is like Walt's recreation of the optimism and vision of the future that the World's Fair represented.

MK and AK are tied for a second, with MGM in 3rd place. I've never been to either of the CA parks.

I like Epcot because of Innoventions.

That's kind of funny to me, since the Disney-created 1964 World's Fair items all ended up in Disneyland, and not Epcot... but I get your point about Epcot being "like" a World's Fair.

The IASW at Disneyland and the Primeval World diorama section of the DL Railroad are all that remain of Walt's original '64 Fair pavilions... at least until Mr. Lincoln comes back (though that show has changed sooooo much).

I get the point about Disney's World's Fair attractions being at Disneyland (and MK) instead of Epcot, but then, Epcot was conceived to be all about the future and the '64 World's Fair is, well, in the past.

I just see similarities in the concepts behind the fair and Epcot Futureworld. For example, the fair had its "Unisphere" and Court of Nations; Epcot has Spaceship Earth and the Fountain of Nations, etc, etc...

If only Walt had survived his bout with cancer and had built the REAL EPCOT. Now THAT would have been futuristic. Too bad no one helming the company after his death ever had the balls to follow through on his sweeping vision of urban development.
