Rank the 9 Disney and Universal parks in the US. Which is the best park? Which is the weakest? Which is the most fun, has the best rides, theming, best overall park?

For me, Disneyland for the win (went there in 1993, and to this day was my best and most memorable experience on Disney property ever),
with MK and IOA tied for a close second.

As for the weakest, and it pains me to say this considering how beautiful it is landscape-wise, but DAK for me.

The most beautifully themed, gorgeous, immersive park I have been in is Animal Kingdom.

But when I think about every important aspect: value for my money (hard to use that word with a theme park), density of rides, quality of rides, theming, etc.

Disneyland always wins. A near perfect experience can be had, in just one day.

It's DL obviously. But I still had to cast a token vote for my fave.

Disneyland is #1 for sure - but honestly after that it gets tricky to rank.

I’d probably put Epcot at #2.

Disneyland is so far ahead of any other park for so many reasons… and that’s in spite of the PeopleMover ruins. Imagine what it would be like with a fixed Tomorrowland.

Islands of Adventure gets second place for its overall beauty plus Hagrid’s, Velocicoaster, Forbidden Journey, Spider-Man and the much-under-appreciated Seuss Landing. I predict this park will keep getting better, though it might drop to third place when Epic Universe opens.

And, moving from 5th place to dead last because of the what they’re doing to Frontierland, MK.
