    Aimal Kingdom could use a couple more table service restaurants.

    I'm not a fan of the layout of Hollywood Studios - I always seemed to get turned around and don't know which way I should be heading.

    Ak- I ask what is to like. Ok, ok. The nemo show is great, as is bug's life. But, not enough places to eat, not enough shows/attractions. Plus, i feel like i'm just always meandering around. To me, lacks a sense of flow.

    DHS, this is one that its not that I don't like. I just like MK or Epcot better. DHS would rank higher if it took me longer than a day to enjoy.

    If my memory serves me correct (usually does when it involes Disney).... AK is on average 13ș hotter then the rest of the parks. Just a little tidbit for you all.

    Epcot is definitely my favorite and always has been, but I love AK almost as much. To me the theming is just perfect and the landscaping is gorgeous. I love just walking around and feeling a little lost there. I do wish there were more dining options, and I do wish there were a few more attractions, but overall I love going there.

    I've never really liked HS...it always seems hot and crowded and so confusing, and I don't personally like the whole theme behind it. I prefer the more exotic landscape of AK, the high culture of Epcot, and of course the magic of the MK. HS is just like, meh. We usually skip it. I do love the Aerosmith Ride, and the Beauty and the Beast show is cool, but other than that, its just not our fave at all.

    I like DHS and AK a lot. It's just that MK is better and Epcot way better.

    Animal Kingdom: Walking through the carnival games section makes me feel like I'm at Six Flags. That's not a good thing.

    See? That's what makes Disney so great....the attention to detail! They didn't just do a great job with the theming, they actually changed the weather!

    OK, so I think that Animal Kingdom needs one or two more rides. It was opened incomplete, and it shows.

    DHS....someone else pointed out that it is singularly themed. Well, it WAS a working production studio when it opened, so I get that. But the layout is odd. Things seem tucked in back alleys, and out of the way places. Epcot and MK don't feel like that at all. And I think it's also because AK and DHS aren't "open", where you have that central wienie that you can see to get your bearings from anywhere in the park. You might be able to see the Tree of Life from anywhere in AK, maybe, but it sure doesn't stand out from all angles like Cinderella Castle or Spaceship Earth.

    I too voted for MK because it is what I always felt was WDW. I love it and i go to it every day of my trip. But I love the other parks too.
    EPCOT is my second favorite .
    Then AK. My vacation is during August so it is just too hot to spend a lot of time there but I like it a lot. Safari, LION KING show, Nemo Show, EE, and the theming is great.

    As for DHS, after ToT and TSM I am pretty much done. I like the muppet show and great movie ride but for the most part I find this park boring. It is a one day ( or until fast pass for TSM time ) and out park for me.

    I always get lost in DHS too. It makes me feel a bit better that one of our experts has this problem, too.
