What is the best ride at Disney World at Magic Kingdom, MGM, Epcot? And the best resort.?

The best rides are:

Magic Kingdom: Space Mountain, nothing beats an old favorite

EPCOT: Test Track

MGM: Tower of Terror, I could do that all day

Animal Kingdom: Expedition Everest

MAGIC KINGDOM Pirates of the Caribbean is my favorite here. I love the detail that they put into the characters. For example, the pirate sitting on the edge of the bridge that the boat floats under... his legs are actually hairy. It's the little things like that, that make Disney what it is, and makes Disney lovers want to go back again and again and again. EPCOT Spaceship Earth, definitely. I know there are faster and newer rides, but I could go on this all day long if I had to. I love the imagination they used with this. Creating the scent of smoke from the fall of Rome, and seeing the great painter paint the Sistine Chapel ceiling. Just the overall way that, despite differences, the Earth has been connected via TV, telephone, internet, newspaper etc. HOLLYWOOD STUDIOS Tower of Terror, by far. Others will say the Rock'n Rollercoaster, but nothing beats, in my opinion, the atmosphere as you wait in line. Just walking through this haunted hotel on your way to the basement gives me the creeps. Add to it the fact that you go to the 13th floor, and many hotels don't have a 13th floor makes you wonder why not. Once you board the elevator there's no turning back, and no matter how many times you ride it is unlikely you will ever get a repeat drop pattern because they are programmed to drop in hundreds of different patterns. ANIMAL KINGDOM I don't like Animal Kingdom, and don't have a favorite ride. I find that the Kilimanjaro Safari is a waste of 20 minutes, and mocks those of us that want to see real animals by having animatronic animals and "head hunters." Kali River Rapids was not worth the 2-3 hour wait, especially when we didn't even get wet. Rafiki's Planet Watch I can experience at my local Forest Preserve/Nature Center and for free. The redeeming qualities would be Dinosaur, Expedition Everest and It's Tough to be a Bug, I guess. I've done AK twice, once in August and once in May. We will not go back there, ever.

Depends on what you like. If you're into thrill rides, here are the ones you don't want to miss:

Space Mountain (Magic Kingdom)

Splash Mountain (Magic Kingdom)

Big Thunder Mountain Railroad (Magic Kingdom)

Mission: SPACE (EPCOT)

Test Track (EPCOT)

Rock N' Roller Coaster (Disney-MGM Studios)

Twilight Zone Tower of Terror (Disney-MGM Studios)

Star Tours (Disney-MGM Studios)

Dinosaur (Animal Kingdom)

Expedition Everest (Animal Kingdom)

If you're not big on thrill rides, the old Disney stand-bys are always good. There is one new "ride" called SOARIN' at EPCOT that is a DEFINITE do-not-miss, and it's not a thrill ride. I won't spoil it for you, but it's very cool and the lines are always long, so be sure to get a FAST Pass for that one.

Which is the best resort? That depends on how much you're willing to pay per night. The All-Star resorts are the least expensive, but they're geared toward families with small children. The rooms are small, it's noisy, you may have a long walk to get to Disney transportation, and they don't have a sit-down restaurant (cafeteria only). The moderately-priced resorts are much nicer. Of those, Port Orleans French Quarter tops the list, with Coronado Springs coming in a close second. If you're willing to splurge and pay more than $200.00 a night for a room, the hands-down winner there is the Polynesian Village.

Magic Kingdom-Space Mountain

MGM-Star Tours

Animal Kingdom-Expedition Everest

Epcot-Mission Space

Best Resorts-Coronado Springs and Fort Wilderness Cabins

Magic Kingdom is good for the really little kids. Epcot is good if you like culture. Animal Kingdom was great, but first year open when i was there, so it was still being developed. MGM was my favorite...they have a good mix of rides and shows there. By the hopper passes and hit a few parks. Doesn't matter which ones you go too, you'll have a great time!

Just a tip; take your own water and snacks!
