Future world has always fascinated me, especially when WoL was still open and Innoventions was good. I think it's still my favorite part of Epcot, although I have found a newer appreciation for World Showcase since I've grown up a little.

After some deliberation, I went World Showcase. Illuminations + Food and Wine festival = win. I still like the music in Future World better, though some of it just sparks bittersweet memories now.

I would have to say world showcase, its just so beautiful and going round the different countries is a great experience, there is something to do in every country and I feel there is a great portrayal of culture. Having the world showcase set around the lake is a great setting and makes it even more beautiful especially as the sun is setting.

While I'll admit that Future World is improving, we still go to Epcot mainly for the World Showcase. And for us, Epcot is an evening park.

However, since we've been going with our daughter, we've been spending more time in Future World. In fact, I can't wait until our next trip because she'll be big enough to ride Soarin' and Test Track. I look for those to become very popular with her. That may change things in the future.

I think it depends on how old you are. I don't remember anything from World Showcase from my trips as a child, but I do remember Future World vividly. As I have gotten older, I enjoy strolling through the countries more and really appreciating the detail and "magic" that Disney has put into them. I will have to say though that SSE will always be my favorite there in EPCOT...no matter how old I get!

As much as I enjoy Future World, I love World Showcase, especially France. It really is a unique experience to "travel" to other countries, experiencing the music, food, shops... I really enjoy just walking around WS day or night...it is reallly beautiful.

I would have to say Future World for Mission: Space and Test Track, though I love to walk through World Showcase, especially the UK-France corridor. Since I don't get to go to WDW that often (last trip was in '05), anything that's WDW-exclusive like M:S and TT are must-do's for me. Overall, Epcot is my favorite WDW park.

I would say about 10 years ago, it would have been Future World, but even if it's fun , it has to be the Showcase for me. It's something I've grown to love and enjoy over the years as a guest (and CM), and I look forward to it everytime I go there.

Even more so with the different events they have throughout the year.

Since this will only be my second time to visit, I selected World Showcase. I'm looking forward to spending a couple of days there this Summer and take it all in.

Tough, tough choice. As much as I love SSE, TT, and other Future World attractions, I'll have to give the nod to World Showcase. I love to walk around the lagoon and soak in the different atmosphere in each country, and they do an incredible job of making you feel like you're there. What puts it over the top for me is The American Adventure. It's the best show I see each time at WDW, and should be required viewing for every American citizen. In fact, I'm listening to it right now as it plays in the requests band.

Future World...even though it is not the same as it was in the late 80's-90's. This trip though it is going to be World Showcase since we have missed it for our last two trips!

World Showcase hands down. Yes, it's Amercanized and lord knows it's needs some new blood.. but the lagoon, the atmosphere, O' Canada, Rose and Crown, the Japanese drummers, eating and drinking my way around the world...that is what rocks!And of course, Illuminations and at holiday time, all the extras and the Candlelight Procession.
