Choosing only one for each of the 4 parks, what are your favorite places to eat? Rides? Shows? Side attractions (think Club Cool)? And your favorite EPCOT country to visit.

I'll start:

Magic Kingdom- Space Mountain; Tony's Town Square; Monsters Inc. Laugh Floor; Magic Kingdom Railroad

EPCOT- SOARIN'; Rose and Crown Pub; Illuminations; Club Cool

Hollywood Studios-ride is a toss up between Toy Story Mania and Rock N' Roller Coaster; Sci-Fi Dine In Theatre Restaurant; Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular; and the Green Army Men that run around the park every hour or so.

Animal Kingdom- Expedition Everest; Tusker House; Rafiki's Planet Watch; and of course the animals!

Favorite EPCOT country pavilion would be the United Kingdom. I love the food at the Rose and Crown, love hearing the British Invasion, and I love the street performers, cause they are insanely funny!

MK - eat: Liberty Tree Tavern or The Plaza, ride: Haunted Mansion, POTC, parade: Spectromagic

EPCOT - eat: France (formerly Alfredo's before it closed), ride: Soarin', show: Reflections of China (but I love its predecessor better)

DHS - eat: Prime Time Cafe or the Sci-fi Diner, ride: Tower of Terror

I don't go to AK much, so I'm adding on other parks I've been to more than it:

DLR MK - eat: Blue Bayou, ride: HM, POTC and IJ-TOFE, show: Fantasmic (better than DHS), parade: MSEP when it was there

DLR DCA - didn't eat there either time, ride: Soarin', CA Screamin', show: World of Color (watched on Youtube and love it!)

DLP - eat: Annette's at Disney Village, ride: Phantom Manor, Le Visionarium, and Mont de L'Espace

If you like pulled pork BBQ, you should try the Toluca Turkey Leg Co. down by the Tower of Terror and Rock n Roller Coaster. The sandwiches are really very good!!

I'll definitely give it a chance if we eat there this trip! I think we're never at Hollywood Studios long enough to eat since we just run back and forth between Tot and RnRC until we're worn out and then hop somewhere else. :lol: I've had some average counter service there, but nothing other than the boring burgers or pizza. We got a turkey leg there last time and it just wasn't as good as the one from the Magic Kingdom (though I'm sure that just depends on some luck and how long they've been cooking). And of course there was the horrible meal we had at Mama Melrose's... :lol:

Try Sci-Fi Dine-In Theatre restaurant or %0's Prime Time Cafe. Food's alright, but the atmosphere is what sets those apart from others in the park.
