Magic Kingdom, very closely followed by Epcot. Animal Kingdom is third, followed by Hollywood Studios.
We always arrive in the early evening, so sometimes we don't bother going into a park on our first night so we'll have dinner at one of the Magic Kingdom resorts and watch Wishes and the Electrical Water Pageant to help get us in the mood.

Current tier-
Magic Kingdom > Epcot > Animal Kingdom > Hollywood Studios
Old tier (early to mid 90's)-
Epcot = Magic Kingdom > MGM
At one point in time i would have been hard pressed to decide whether MK or Epcot was the better park. I'm inclined to say Epcot may have been the winner, but it's just too difficult to choose. I'd say Epcot had the quality over quantity edge in terms of rides. Magic Kingdom had more overall attractions for kids though, they just weren't always on as grand a scale as rides at Epcot. It says a lot about Epcot that it was able to keep a little hyperactive brat like my 3-4 year old self very entertained and enchanted. I loved Magic Kingdom as a kid, but reflecting upon my earlier years i definitely see Epcot as something truly unique and different, but still just as magical as anything from MK.
But at any rate, Magic Kingdom wins hands down now.

Before we tire the young 'uns with the same old tired stories of the genius of EPCOT 1.0: no, even before the destruction of EPCOT Center the MK had reclaimed the title of my favourite park. There's something indestructibly genius about that castle park.

For a while, in its first years, EPCOT was my favorite too, trumping even the seemingly indomitable Magic Kingdom. What could've been more exciting to a teenager in the 1980s than EPCOT Center?

Magic Kingdom will always be my favorite. To me, it's the embodiment of Disney and WDW in general. (Probably because it's the original).
When I was a kid I Thought DHS was so awesome, and the best park. Clearly I was wrong :lol:

Epcot. We arrive about 3pm, unpack and its off to Epcot for a quick ride on Spaceship Earth and then Test Track. Our first full day (and last day) is always Epcot, too.

MK is always our first park. It's our first day so we get up bright and early to ride as much as we can before the crowds get there. Usually we check in the evening before. I used to get up at about 4:00 the morning of and drive. I live about 3.5 hours away but the problem with that is that by 3:00pm I am dead, so now we drive up the evening before. We'll check in and perhaps do a character dinner or something. It lets us know we are there. I have a 10 month old and hopefully we'll be goin in May. She loves Mickey Mouse Clubhouse so we might have to do Chef Mickey's this time around.

Magic Kingdom is first no matter what time our flight gets in and we arrive at the resort. First thing I want to do is start hitting the rides. My son's first thing to do is get something to EAT!! If his stomach doesn't get something in it he gets irritable and grumpy 
so we grab him a quick snack and resume our trek to our first ride. Happy and eager to let the fun begin.:sohappy:

EPCOT and Magic Kingdom are equal in my mind because they provide two totally different experiences that are both awesome, Hollywood studios needs some love before it gets back to a high level, and although AK is fantastically themed I'm just not into the animals.

We always go straight to MK because I am so anxious to get there. We usually head back to the hotel around 3 and chill out (drink, pool, eat, nap ect and then go back to Epcot or MK at night. Love Wishes and love illuminations
