Too many different ones and a lot of them look very outdated. The simple white in the old pictures looks much better.

The other three parks are unique to WDW; the Magic Kingdom is not. Yes, I know DLP has a somewhat cloned Studios Park, but this is one place where Orlando FAR EXCEEDS Paris. Disneyland is just as easy for me to get to as Disney World. Even with all four parks at WDW, I like to visit Disneyland every few years anyway. If the MK no longer existed at WDW I would have no problem "getting my fix" at Disneyland instead.

I didn't mind them, but I didn't miss them either. Futureworld Plaza still works for me, as long as Spaceship Earth is still there towering above everything!

You say you have never been, yet you also say it is beautiful, yet would close it because, in you ropinion there just aren't enough attractions. Strange. For me, yeah, it's DHU, the Studios. Lamest park in Central Florida, for us.

That's because a place as good as IOA would never be allowed to be built or maintained OR expanded upon in such an awesome way as IOA has been. So, no, you WILL NOT find IOA on Disney property..........THANK GOD!!!!!!

And thankfully she does NOT have that say so!

Just the two of us and NO little kids(THANKFULLY!). And for the record - the MK and MGM were our two LEAST FAVOURITE parks. MK just felt plastic and an oversized copy of DL, to which we had just been ten days before. The less said about "Stage Show World"/"crappy knock off park" MGM the better! Even if it was just Epcot and DAK, I would STILL want to go as they are more about exploration and higher ideals, rather than "Is this a theme park about movies or a(non)working studio filled with rides based on movies? Or a park filled with iconic movie locations that are flats for movie production? And why are we suddenly in a Hollywood tower hotel when there is a space trip to Endor a few blocks away?" Damn that park needs a good visit from the DCA bulldozers after they are finished in Anaheim.
