Animal Kingdom or Studios?

[FaithTrustPixieDust]

So many people seem to spend only 1/2 day at Animal Kingdom and Disney Hollywood Studios. If you had to pick one or the other, where would you spend your time?

[elmjimmlm]

AK would be my choice...There seems like to me so much more to see and do there...

[GrumpyFan]

While I like both parks a lot, but for different reasons, I picked DHS. Hollywood Studios evokes something strange in me, that is hard to describe. I get "silly", for lack of a better word. I come out of my normally shy and somewhat introverted shell and interact with the Street Performers, volunteering to be in the shows, and just generally goofy.

DHS would be my choice. More attractions, longer operating hours, more thrill rides, and FANTASMIC!!

[Disney fans..]

I choose DHS over AK. I love both parks but AK feels a bit like a really big zoo.

[Mackflava99]

DHS has alot of funthings and also has ALOT of character appearences.
Both are good- but AK just isnt as fun- except EE which rocks!!!

[ryels]

I have to go with DHS also. Although neither park is in the same league as MK or Epcot, all the parks seem to improve every time I go. DHS does have a unique feel to it that AK just doesn't have yet.

But it's getting there. Everest was a huge boost!

I also picked DHS. Rockin rollercoaster is my favorite ride. I also like the shows and the street performers.

We love AK more each time we go. Now we spend two half days there each trip, and less time at DHS than we used to.

DS has three great rides - ToT, RnR, toystory and one great night ending show Fantasmic

AK has two great rides Dino and EE...and no finale show

so for us its DS

For some reason AK evokes this wonderful feeling of being transported elsewhere. While it may be a "big zoo" it still designed to send you to some place else where you are there. DHS does the same thing but I don't think as completely as AK does. Also, the Dinosaur carnival area to me is a neat little place for me to go that reminds me of my trips to the beach and boardwalk each summer when I was a wee lad.

I spend much more time at DHS. Some of my favorite rides are there and I love the atmosphere

Animal Kingdom for us. We spend equivalent to a day an a half to two days there. We spend just a few hours at the Studios. Other than Fantasmic!, I really do not care if we even go to the Studios anymore.

[PittFan]

We generally spend a 1/2 day at AK and then go to DHS from there. We also spend at least 1 full day at the Studios. So it's a no brainer for us.... DHS !!!

i picked hs, but it was very close imo

We find AK to be the most relaxing of the parks. Most of the time, we'll enjoy the attractions, but we usually are looking for an enjoyable day with good entertainment. The Animal Kingdom definitely does that for us - in fact, we'll usually spend a whole day, not just half.

[SurferStitch]

I chose AK. We really love this park, and do spend more time there than at DHS. DHS is cool, but if I had to choose one, it would be AK.

[krorx]

AK is one of our favorites! But really, how can you go wrong with either?

[donnah77]

Though I'm learning to enjoy AK more the more I get to know it, I picked DHS. I love the atmosphere and think it has great shopping. DD loves the Little Mermaid and HSM shows and has asked to go back a second day rather than AK.

Animal Kingdom is a half day park for us with only a few attractions to do: EE, Dinosaur and the Safari - we try to do Festival of the Lion King but mostly we are in and out of Animal Kingdom within a few hours.

Hollywood Studios is usually at least two or three days for us, we do all the shows and attractions and spend time just relaxing in the park not rushing to get on things.
