(WDW's Animal Kingdom would/could have had this distinction if it had been developed according to its initial plan, i.e., "Beastly Kingdom", etc.)

Originally Posted By TDLFAN >>I feel that Disneyland Paris' Magic Kingdom may indeed be the last of the _truly inspired_ Disney theme parks<< Well, chronologically speaking Tokyo DisneySea is the last of the truly inspired Disney theme parks so far IMHO; but i do agree that DLP is indeed the most beautiful of the Magic Kingdoms built to date. We can only hope that Hong Kong Disneyland will turn out this elaborate and elegant. As for Animal Kingdom, it's amazing what you can do with shrubs and trees and a little dash of imagination! Nothing beats Mother Nature for awesome beauty.

DCA, which I will admit I do like, still needs some work to bring it up to "Disney Standard" in my opinion. Luckily, I think Disney knows this and is already investing money into the park. Now, the other park that needs help is the Disney Studios Paris. Well, honestly, this place needs a lot more than work. It needs money, Disney magic, and some imagination! It's a long way from being what I'd concider a Disney Park.
