Yeah, if you can visit both coasts, then DL is the much better park. But there are a lot of people who CAN'T visit both coasts, and a WDW without the MK is kinda like taking the heart out of the place.

Studios is a wash, I prefer the one in Paris anyway (although we would love to have the Gt Movie Ride, Muppets and Sci Fi Dine in.

What good is Harry Potter if Disney doesn't have a way to get us to it? Close it, I say!!!
Originally Posted By 3disneylocations Even though i havent visited WDW i would have to say Animal Kingdom. Dak has very few attractions and i have been to many awesome zoo's. Dak is really a beautiful park, but just too few attractions.>> Maybe you should visit the place once before deciding to close a 500 acre Theme Park!

I think the parks are all suffering from removal with zero replacement or inferior choices. So I refuse to wish anything away...

Ok, maybe that is a little over the top but I really do find joy in each of the four parks. The better way to ask the question is: Which of the four parks would you like a "redo" on? In that case I would go with the Studios. It isn't crowd/pedestrian friendly for one thing. Even with the various additions it is still too small. Even its location causes too much congestion on that side of the WDW property. That said, I enjoy many of the attractions IN the park...I would just redesign it.

Originally Posted By davewasbaloo >>>a clone sort of MK<<< A clone sort of Disneyland you mean, the original (and I would argue in many cases) the best MK.
Originally Posted By davewasbaloo Nope, the economy hotels should have never been built. Nor the dining plan introduced, nor PI closed.

Great theming? Yes. Preachy? YES! Full of great rides and shows? FULL? Not even close.
Originally Posted By danyoung While I'll admit that they could use a few more attractions, I think they have a great mix of shows, rides, and beautiful scenic vistas. And I don't begin to understand your infrastructure comment - Disney does a great job at moving people around, and I never have a problem getting to where I want to go. I know I sound like a Disney apologist, but I'm not - there's plenty that they do wrong at WDW. But DAK isn't one of those things, IMO.
Originally Posted By davewasbaloo >> Disney does a great job at moving people around<< Semi adequate. If you want to see great, come to Europe or asia.

Sure, you get where you're going...eventually. However, it's more efficient to take your own car and not rely on Disney Transport at all. DAK is the worst regarding transportation due to its remote location and 100% reliance on buses.

I also love the shows. It could use some shade or places to site in the shade. Epcot, It is my most favorite. It could use some more countries in World Showcase. MK you can't close that so many people that don't know WDW like all of us here. See that as WDW. The castle is what comes to many guest mind when you say MK or even WDW. ( remember most of us or NOT your average WDW guest.)
