I will hang my head in shame now as I am sure no one else will vote as I will. My least favorite of all of the parks is EPCOT and World Showcase rates the very bottom of my list. For me there just is nothing Disney or Magical about walking around World Showcase.

I'm with you Scrappy! I EASILY say it's my least favorite. I find the World Showcase to be underwhelming and nothing more than food and shopping. And Future World is stark and boring with the exception of a few rides/attractions. During our next trip we'll be eating dinner there one night and primarily focusing on Illuminations. If I was going with my DH I wouldn't mind skipping it all together but my mom has never been.

I think AK is beautiful, though I could cover it in half a day. I agree though that I wish it had better restaurants.

As a designer by trade, the theming of Disney is the high point of any visit. Details matter, and there are few places that get them right as often as Disney. And, while I love the aesthetics of AK it's at the bottom of my list. KS is great, but once that is over, there isn't much else there.

EPCOT is loved, but needs much love. The pace of technology has left FW in the dust. I'd love to see Disney imagine FW into the Pixar universe (yes Nemo is already there) using WALL-E and the Incredibles to touch on global and environmental themes that would remain consistent with the over-arching vision set for FW at the beginning. The progressive nature of Pixar and it's aggressive use of technology would serve FW well.

For me it's DS. We only plan a 1/2 day there, do the rides we like, eat at one of the places we like, and move on. I don't like the smell of burning rubber, I don't care to watch the Indiana Jones Stunts, and the back lot tour is so old, it's more sad than interesting.

We go to Muppets, ToT, ToyStory, The Great Movie Ride (which is getting a bit rough), and StarWars, and that's pretty much it. Oh, and a trip thru the bio of Disney.If you land fast passes for 3 of them, it's easily 4 hrs tops.

Hollywood Studios it just doesn't have much that appeals to me. I love that it has Toy Story, Beauty and The Beast and The Little Mermaid but not much else. We got there late cause I knew there wouldn't be much to do, and we could have finished a few hours earlier if we didn't have to wait around for Fantasmic which ended up being terrible anyways. And there was no where good to eat, the food on the posters at most places looked terrible. We ended up at Pizza Planet which had nice pizza but we had pizza 2 days before at Pizzarafi and wanted something different.

Ellen's World of Energy could be refitted to Wall-E's world where the Earth is rebuilding itself. Tron is kinda represented now with the Test Track 2.0 update although it could be expanded to the new digital age.
