In order, from favorite to least Favorite.... List the Disney Parks

My Personal...

1) Magical Kingdom (The best!)

2) Epcot (Love their nightime display)

3) MGM (Above average)

4) Animal Kingdom (Some nice spots, but basically a fancy zoo)

1. The Magic Kingdom
2. Animal Kingdom

I've never been to Epcot or MGM studios.

I like them all, but I would rank them like this:
1) Magical Kingdom (Splash Mountain)
2) Disney-MGM Studios (Tower of Terror)
3) Epcot (Test Track)
4) Animal Kingdom (Dinosaur)

1. Epcot: Definetely the most amazing theme park at WDW! In fact it's my second favorite theme park in the world! (2nd to only Disneyland of course) I guess I'm a techno geek, but I love the feel of Future World. Some great stuff there including: The Living Seas, Spaceship Earth, Universe of Energy, Mission Space and The Land. I do feel Test Track is rather overrated though, mainly because it's too short, but it's still a decent ride. World Showcase is also really fun, as you get to see a different variety of tastes, and the live entertainment is a blast. Of course, it isn't a perfect park, as HISTA is getting old while Innoventions, the new and improved Figment ride and Illuminations aren't worth your time. But overall definetely an awesome park!

2. MGM Studios: Like Epcot, I just love how this park captures the magic of it's theme(in this case movies). While there is no "real" working studio like Universal Studios, it's still is fun to see behind the scene stuff. The thrill rides also rock, including Indiana Jones, Star Tours, Rockin' Roller Coaster and(my personal favorite ride EVER) Tower or Terror! If only Fantasmic wasn't so lame!

3. Magic Kingdom: Unlike most people, this isn't my favorite park. The problem with it is that it is NO WHERE NEAR AS GOOD AS DISNEYLAND! Such classic rides like Pirates of the Caribbean, Haunted Mansion and Space Mountain are done MUCH better at the DLR! Magic Kingdom also doesn't have classics like Indiana Jones, Mr. Toad's Wild Ride, Star Tours(though it's at MGM, but still), Matterhorn, Roger Rabbit's Cartoon-Spin, need I go on? But in the end it's not all THAT disappointing. MK does has a MUCH better Splash Mountain and Big Thunder Mountain! They also have a better Tomorrowland with COP(which I hope NEVER closes) and a better Buzz ride(though many would differ) not to mention it has a better Astro Orbiter and it has the Tomorrowland Transit Authority. I haven't been on Stitch though. MK also has Mickey's PhilharMagic which was cool! Overall MK is a VERY fun park, but the theming of Disneyland is done MUCH better IMO!

4. Animal Kingdom: Dinosuar and The Festival of the Lion King ROCK! They are almost worth the entire admition alone! It's Tough To Be A Bug is also really fun the first viewings. Everything else was almost a complete waste of time though. Lets hope Experation Everest improves it!

1. Magic Kingdom - how can it be anything else?
2. Animal Kingdom - loved the interactive stuff and the safari too.
3. Epcot - International stuff is great as is Test Track and Living Seas
4. MGM - would be a wash out if not for Fantasmic

By the way what was so great about Fantasmic? I was expecting a wonderful show since everyone said it was great, but to tell you the truth it was the only thing at MGM Studios that was disappointing for me! It would've been okay if they didn't use to much film clips!

MK
Epcot
AK
MGM

MGM just isn't that good IMO

1. Magic Kingdom (though there's a bias as I work there)
2. EPCOT Center (I don't care that they dropped the "Center", it's one of my favorites)
3. Disney-MGM Studios (though I hear that come late June, it's switching officially to "Walt Disney Studios")
4. Animal Kingdom (perhaps cause I've been there the least.)

My Personal...

1 TIE) Magical Kingdom-MGM

2 TIE) Epcot-Animal Kingdom

I'd rank them like this...

MGM Studios(Rockin' Rollercoaster,Great Movie Ride,Tower of Terror,Muppet Vision 3-D;I'm a huge Muppets fan...plus I loved Fantasmic)

Magic Kingdom(Splash Mountain,Space Mountain,The Haunted Mansion,Pirates of the Caribbean)

Animal Kingdom(Kilimanjaro Safari,Dinosaur,Kali River Rapids,plus they have tigers in "India";I love tigers!!!!)

Epcot(Test Track,World Showcase...I like "Norway" and "Japan" best...)

Magic Kingdom - Just because. Plus, it's where all my favorite rides are located.

EPCOT - I love the World Showcase area. Even though most people find it boring, I could spend at least a full day there. Actually, my friend and I did once.

MGM Studios and Animal Kingom are tied - In the last few years (or at least when I was there last in 2002), MGM has lost its old Hollywood feel, which I think is sad. I love Animal Kingdom, but it still feels rather underdeveloped and doesn't have the sentimental attachment to me that the other three parks have.

1 - Magic Kindom - For nostalgia and pure fun!

2 - Disney MGM Studios - Has my favourite Disney ride and show (ToT, Fantasmic!)

3 - Epcot - For IllumiNations alone this park is worth the high price!

4 - Animal Kingdom - If only there were more rides. This is a beautiful park!

This is really kind of tough... I'd have to say:

1) TIED- Magic Kingdom and MGM studios- I love them both! MGM has Tower of Terror and Rockin Rollercoaster, and Magic Kingdom is purely classic and also has great rides like Haunted Mansion and Splash Mountain. I couldn’t decide between the two.

2) Epcot- A tad bit boring? Well, I love test track, and Mission: Space is okay, but I am just not the biggest fan.

3) Animal Kingdom- I like Tough to be a bug and Dinosaur, but it just doesnt have a lot of rides a like.

Florida its home ( I love being able to go to these parks as opften as possible!!!) So on that note....

1.MGM (My favorite becasue I love all the shows, the set up, and at night time its so much fun.
2.Magic Kingdom (All the Fun rides are there and you can usally find most of the characters there)
3.Epcot (I love being able to learn about all the different countires plus how schools can find almost any educational reason to take us there on a field trip.
4.Animal Kingdom ( I am not to cray about animals and thats mostley what the park is about , but I love the African Village you can go visit and eat at all the rides there thats tons of fun !)

This is always very hard for me, but here we go:

1. Magic Kingdom - As others have said, there's no question here. Not only has it always been the best, but it's in tip-top shape right now (a few things aside). Really grade A and I'm proud.

2. MGM - I just love the feel here, though as Renata points out, that feel is gradually fading away. That's partially due to the fact that the number of attractions is decreasing and I really think that park management needs to wise up. A lot needs to be done here. There's just something about it, though, that is so thrilling to me to be there. That's what keeps it slightly above Epcot, even though it is sliding (of course Epcot is too...)

3. Epcot - Everything they have here is great (except The Living Seas and parts of The Land and Body Wars ), they just don't have enough. Disney knows this, and the long-rumored Project Gemini seems to finally be underway, at least in some form. It's moving a bit slower than I'd like to see, but there's much to hope for here. At any rate, attraction-wise, Epcot has improved a lot in the last five years. Maintenance-wise, though, it's in very bad shape and I find it to be very disappointing. The magical, futuristic feel that it once purveyed has packed up and left. They need to bring back the buzz.

4. Animal Kingdom - It gets number four because one can still do almost everything they'd want to here and be leisurely about it in well under a day (which is saying a lot because the operating hours are way short). It stands way below the rest of the parks for that reason. As time goes by and Disney wisens up, though, they'll come to understand waht they need to do to make it on par with their other parks. Given the incredible sights that are already there and the abundant room, the park busts with potential... it will be realized, just give it time.

Oh my. They weren't just any video clips- they were video clips on moving water! Where did you sit when you saw it? I've found that it's nto nearly as impressive from the back of the arena. Try sitting up close. It quite literally astonishes me with how good it is each and every time I see it. I'm told it's even better at Disneyland.

I haven't been to Disney World in ages, and the Kindom of Animals hadn't even opened when I was there.
Anyway, based on vague memories, here's how I'd rank;

1. Magic Kingdom
2. Epcot
3. Disney MGM Studios

Not to be picky or anything but it's called Animal Kingdom not Kingdom of the Animals!

Don't worry Fan, I mis-said that on purpose to make the park sound more awesome.

I sat in the far corner in the front on the left section but even if I sat in the middle section I don't think it would've made a difference. I wanted more to be played on stage then see a bunch of edited clips from other movies! I just didn't like it! I'm saying this but I liked Sound's Dangerous, The MGM Studios Tour, The Little Mermaid show which are considered "disappointments".

Too bad you didn't like those attractions because I loved all of them! I even liked them better than the fire-works show!
