EPCOT- best food in all of disney world, has mission space and test track, the pictures from EPCOT always look better because of the parks layout and b/c (depending on when you go) the flower festival arrangements are beautiful.

hi,
personally the best theme park is animal kingdom.the kilaminjaro safari is great you actually get to go on safari and see wild animals like hippos, giraffes ,and others right in their own habitat. its sooo coool!! the park is big on animal and rainforest conservation. don't miss the rafikis trail attractions they are related to conservation they are really great!!animal kingdom has great rides and shows too.dont miss the lion king show and the finding nemo shows.they are broadway style shows and they are so amazing that they will take your breath away!!!the rainforest cafe restaurant just outside of the park is amazimg is like eating right in the middle of a rainforest.unbelievable.its a little expensive but well worth it because the $ you spend in the store and restaurant is donated to the rainforest preservation funds.

as far as best water park i recommend typhoon lagoon.its a very relaxing tropical setting with rides,and a pool not to mention the coolest thing there in my opinion is a snorkling adventure in a lagon filled with rays and sharks and other marine life.its really beautiful,disney even provides you with snorkling gear.have fun!!!

EPCOT! You can make this a different expierence each time. They have enough rides to keep you entertained if this is what you want.
If you prefer a more relaxing day just walk around the countries and enjoy the exhibits,shows, and shops.
Or mix it up and do a little of both.
*tip to doing EPCOT never start with the first ride (spaceship earth) make this the last ride & you will avoid longer lines by starting in the back of future world and working your way forward. When visiting the world show case start to the left (Mexico) most of the crowd starts to the right (Canada)

The Magic Kingdom in Orlando isn't exactly the same as the one in California.

Anyway, I'd reccomend Animal Kingdom - I love it. It is really interesting and there is a TON to see - they have amazing animals which you can get really close to, a realistic safari ride that allows you to see african animals in a habitat similar to their natural one, an amazing dinosaur section, Everest - possibly the coolest ride of any Disney park, fun shows, and a water ride - Kali river rapids.

As far as waterparks, Blizzard Beach is AMAZING. They have tons of really fun slides and such, and the whole atmosphere and design is really, really neat - they even have an operational ski lift up to the highest slides (a family one, and one that goes straight down).

EDIT : To an earlier answer suggesting MGM for kids, I would NOT suggest that park for children - there is little to see there, and children get cranky and bored, and you end up spending much of the day at the playground, arcade, and little kid shows - about every one of the rides is far too scary for children - trust me - even the milder ones are pretty intense. I, myself, have been a victim of these rides as a child. At this park, there is even a warning on Fantasmic - the big fireworks-type show, stating that it may be too intesnse for children!

Also - It is "Rock 'n' Roller Coaster", not rocking - it's a play on words. (Rock 'n' Roll - Roller Coaster)

My family loves the Animal Kingdom - it has some spectacular rides and allows you to get close to some fairly exotic animals. Epcot is a close second - there is a great deal to do, see, eat, and learn about.

I am a big fan of MGM and Epcot. MGM has some pretty cool rides and attractions. Epcot has the World Showcase. I am SOOO not a fan of Animal Kingdom. It is the most shaded park..but is the hottest!!

Epcot is my favorite park. The park has excellent rides and the amazing World Showcase where you can experience countries from all around the world in a single day! The Illuminations: Reflections of the Earth firework show is also a must-see!!

**If you have never been to the Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World I strongly recommend you do so. It is VERY different from the one in Disney Land! It is definetly worth it!

Have Fun!

Epcot! It has the best rides and attractions in the entire park! You should check out the World Showcase there!

MGM Studios is the best Disney Park, but if you are doing all of Orlando then you will find way more fun in Universal Studios and The Island Of Adventure.

it all depends on what you want. if you want more of a movie experience in the disney world resort, go to mgm. if you want science/world travels, epcot, and if you want a more unexpected experience go to animal kingdom. i wasn't at the water park so i can't give you my opinion for those ~ i love water parks though so they both look like fun. my personal favorite park in disney world is epcot as even though there aren't as many rides as the other parks, it has different some what inexpensive disney activities to do.

Choosing the best theme park at Walt Disney World really depends on what your interests are, and who is included in your group. If you are going with a spouse and children, then I would recommend The Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom. The Magic Kingdom has all of the Disney classics, such as "It's a Small World" and "Pirates of the Caribbean"; it also has family thrills such as "Splash Mountain" and "Big Thunder Mountain". The Magic Kingdom also has a lot of the characters and is the perfect place to take children of all ages. Disney's Animal Kingdom is also very exciting. Since most kids love animals, they will more than likely love this park. There is a safari ride, where you get to see animals from all over the world, and nature trails, that include some other interesting animals. Animal Kingdom also has many family rides, such as "Primeval Whirl" and "It's Tough to be a Bug". They also have a few thrill rides such as "Dinosaur" (kid friendly) and the new thrilling roller coaster, "Expedition Everest", that travels both fowards and backwards!

If you are just planning a trip with your spouse or significant other, or a group of friends of your age, then I would recommend Epcot and the Disney MGM Studios. Epcot is an amazing park, and is one of my personal favourites. They have a few thrill rides like "Test Track" and "Mission Space". They also have the amazing ride called "Soarin", where you fly over the entire state of California. Epcot also has a very unique, enriching cultural experience like no other in the world. It's called "World Showcase", and it contains 11 different country pavilions; at these pavilions, you can eat authentic food of that nation and buy souvenirs imported from the country. Also, all of the people that work in each of the countries are from that country. Epcot also has many different events planned throughout the year. In the spring, the host the "International Flower Festival", and in November, the have an "International Food and Whine Festival", where you can sample food and beer/whine from over 30 countries around the world!
If you like movies, then you will enjoy the Disney MGM Studios. They have two really good thrill rides, "Rocking Roller Coaster" and the "Twilight Zone Tower of Terror". They also have many other amazing attractions. There two stunt shows, "Indiana Jones" and "Lights, Motors, Action! Stunt Cars"; one broadway style show, "Beauty & the Beast"; and one nighttime show, "Fantasmic". They also have many other neat attractions such as "The Great Movie Ride", and "The Backlot Tour".

Walt Disney World is an amazing place to visit. I would highly recommend visiting all 4 theme parks, as they are all very exciting and unique. I would suggest buying a multi-day "Disney Park Hopper Pass", which allows you to jump from park to park during the day, with free transportation to each park. Also, plan your trip during the off-season, as there are less people and the weather is always perfect. It would also be wise to take great advantage of the "Fast Pass" at select Disney attractions; they can get you to practically to the front of the line - saves a great amount of time! If you or your group likes to shop, then I would recommend a trip to Downtown Disney. They have amazing shops and great restaurants. You could also relax during an evening at the adult only section of Downtown Disney, Pleasure Island; it has many different clubs, bars ad restaurants that offer great food and entertainment. Have a great trip!!! :)

I would really say Magic Kingdom..but since you've been to the one in Disneyland I'd say Epcot. They have some pretty amazing rides there. My favorite in that park is deff Soarin', it's a great ride

I would think Epcot and Animal Kingdom. Lots of things you can do at both of the parks.
