Magic Kingdom will always be the "Disney" park for me since it was just one of two parks when I went for the first time back in the day.

But...Epcot is the park I could go to over and over and over and over and over............again and really never tire of it.

It's definitely got to be Magic Kingdom for me. I'm a huge kid at heart, and stepping through each 'land is like going into a whole new world in your imagination. It's like a ride in itself. And on that note, I feel that they have the best rides to offer. The other parks are fantastic in their own right, but nothing compares to Magic Kingdom.. for me, that is. :D

Animal Kingdom is close at second, though. :)

I was wondering if anyone would even bring up the Animal Kingdom.

Mom and I quite enjoyed AK this past trip. In fact, when I was asking her just a few nights ago, what her favorite part of the trip was, she told me "Animal Kingdom"...

WARNING: Tangent Alert!!!! So, did anyone watch the Kentucky Derby? If I knew there was a horse named "Animal Kingdom" I would have bet on it and apparently I would have won! UGH!!! Curses for not paying attention!!! :x :evil:

We now return to our regularly scheduled topic... :mrgreen: :roll: :wink:

I have always loved EPCOT. Not sure if it's because that's the first park I ever experienced at WDW or what. Don't get me wrong. I love MK and all, but growing up with DL, I was more excited to see the other parks.
Honestly though, I truly miss the old EPCOT. Though it's still my fave park, it's not the same. :(

As someone who was also not paying attention, I thought the same thing! I wonder what percentage of the people who DID bet on that horse were Disney nuts?

My favorite park is Epcot too. I love MK but there is just something about Epcot. It is very relaxing. Animal Kingdom is a very close third for me.

I figure there were several people who bet it just knowing the name. I agree peaches, there is something relaxing about EPCOT. I also like the old EPCOT MmeLeota. It is what sticks in my memory the most. It was the most innovative thing I had ever seen.

The Magic Kingdom! Don't get me wrong I love them all, but ... there's just something about the MK that says "DISNEY!"

Definitely Epcot (although I love all 4!). Epcot just makes me feel happy. Especially that area near the Living Seas/Imagination pavillions. The monorail track runs overhead, there's a very blue little brook of water, everything is wide open spaces including that nice swell of green grass between the two pavililions. There's usually a few wild bunnies in the bushes and that weird shaped purple snack cart probably left over from 1982. I just feel happy when I'm there or anywhere else at Epcot.

I honestly used to think magic kingdom but now I've become indifferent between EPCOT and MK. I honestly don't think there is a more exciting moment in a theme park then walking down Main Street USA with the castle getting larger with every step that you take. I also love EPCOT for the peacefulness and tranquility that it always seems to have, no matter how busy the park may be. Secondly, I am in a huge fan of the innoventions background music.
