Best Disney Park in Orlando?

Dear NBGirl:

Go to The *Studios!

Best rides & Attractions!

The decision is an easy one, at least for me.

Weed out the following...

> Hollywood Studios: You're already doing Universal/IOA which, as a combination, will be relatively equivalent.

> Animal Kingdom: I like this park a lot. On our 1st visit, we actually witnessed a gazelle giving birth (impromptu, not staged), like 25' away from our Kilimanjaro Safari tour! Although there's no animal park quite like it, you can still experience some of its basics elsewhere (Busch Gardens Tampa, San Diego Zoo, Lion Country Safari, etc.).

Now you're left w/MK & EPCOT...

> Magic Kingdom: The true essence & "magic" of Disney---a must for ALL ages. However, if you live close enough to DisneyLAND for a future visit, or if you've already been there, then why choose MK when limited to 1-park? Sure, MK is arguably the better of the two, but they're not disproportionately different.

> EPCOT: You won't find this anywhere. It's also the best option to somewhat recover from the exhaustion of the heat, humidity, and rat-race of the other parks. Even when crowded, at least the World Showcase is a really open area, where you'll be able to tone down your frantic pace. It's not about thrill rides (although Test Track is there), but it's educational, cultural, great for dining & shopping, 3-D shows & simulator rides, live performances, and of course IllumNations @ closing.

It depends on what interests you.

Magic Kingdom is where you should go if you want the true Disney experience. It's geared more toward kids, but it IS true that you become a kid again when you enter the park.

Hollywood Studios is more for teenagers and adults because of the thrill rides and the overall atmosphere.

A lot of people say that EPCOT is only for adults, but I think that it has things to offer for all age groups. The park has a great feel, and the best dining of all.

If you like animals, then of course go to Animal Kingdom. I, however, only have a couple of attractions I go there for. It has the shortest hours and the least to do, so I would recommend all of the other parks over Animal if you only have one day.

Although I love Disney if I only had time for one park it would have to be either Universal Studios or Islands of Adventure. I have a 16 and 18 year old and either of those parks is really suitable for their age group.

If it has to be Disney then I'd say Hollywood Studios as you've got Tower of Terror and Rock N Roll Coaster there which are two good rides plus shows and the backlot tour.

Enjoy deciding where to go and have a great time when you get there

I would go to Magic Kingdom if I were you. They have the best rides and the most things to do. This is my personal favorite park. There is so much to do there we go there 2 days so we can hit all the rides, but if I Only had I day I would definitely go to Magic Kingdom.

Magic Kingdom!

Um... Just the one day, really? I'd set aside more days than just one... Because at Magic Kingdom alone there's enough stuff to do two days' worth.

I guess I'd pick Magic Kingdom, but if I were you, I'd add a couple of days and go to Epcot, too.

Ither epcot or magic kingdom
