Animal Kingdom or Hollywood Studios (Disney MGM)?

I have a 3 day pass for Disney. I am 20 years old and going with my 21 year old brother. We wanted to go to Magic Kingdom and Epcot. Which of the remaining two (Animal Kingdom and Hollywood Studios) should we visit?

Definitely choose Hollywood Studios. They have 2 of the best Disneyworld rides - Aerosmith roller coaster & the Tower of Terror.

My husband and I weren't as crazy about Animal Kingdom. Plus Animal Kingdom closes earlier than the other parks.

Also, Hollywood Studios has a great fireworks show at night. I don't think Animal Kingdom offers a night-time show.

Have a fun trip!

I'm 19 and went on my first Disney trip two months ago. I absolutely loved Hollywood Studios but was less than thrilled with Animal Kingdom. If you can, I would start the day at AK, ride Everest, go on the safari ride, maybe visit a few attractions, and then hop over to Hollywood Studios. There were many more attractions at HS than at AK. Neither of them take a full day to check out, so I would definitely suggest park hopping, if you are able to. If not, skip Animal Kingdom.

The best times to ride the two biggest rides at Hollywood (not MGM anymore) is at park opening and at the very end of the day when everyone is trying to head to fantasmic. Otherwise, get fast passes and go get lunch at the 50s diner while you are waiting, if it is a long wait. This is the best food we had in the 9 days we stayed on the dining plan. Best milkshakes in the world. At animal kingdom, find out what time the parade is, and use that time to see the expedition everest or get a fast pass. Parade time, lines are shorter. I agree on Dinosaur, as well. Great ride. Take time to ride it twice, so you can get a better look at things. It's tough to be a bug is a lot of fun. It was the first thing we headed to, when we went this year. Other than that, Animal kingdom doesn't have many rides. Have a great trip.

Definitely Hollywood Studios. They have more thrill rides, and also a motor stunt show that you both would probably enjoy. Also, while there, make sure you do the Drew Carey "Sounds Dangerous". It's very cool.
Animal Kingdom only has one thrill ride, Expedition Everest, and has a LOT of kiddie rides in Dino Land.
Hollywood Studios has Tower of Terror, along with Rockin' Rollercoaster by Aerosmith, which anyone who visits will tell you, is by far THE BEST ride at Disney World!
Also, (not sure when you're going), Hollywood Studios has more rides, etc. with air conditioning, where you're constantly in the heat at Animal Kingdom.

They are both fabulous parks, but I personaly enjoy the Animal Kingdom more. At the Animal Kingdom they have my favorite ride of all time, Expedition Everest. It's so much fun. The park itself is absolutely beautiful and so much fun! Hollywood Studios is also a fabulous park! More thrill rides resign in this park. My personal favorites are the Tower of Terror and Rockin' Rollercoaster. Both are big thrill rides! Both parks have fewer attractions comparing to Epcot or the Magic Kingdom, so I suggest that you perhaps split your day in half (if you have park hoppers) and do both theme parks! I hope I have helped! Have fun! =)
