Favorite Park Entrance

[DigitalDisney]

Magic Kingdom - Entrance Plaza, Train Station, and Main Street U.S.A.

Epcot - Entrance Plaza, Spaceship Earth area

MGM Studios - Entrance Plaza, Hollywood Boulevard

Animal Kingdom - Entrance Plaza, Rainforest Cafe, Oasis

For me, the choice is easy. I definately prefer the Animal Kingdom entrance over all of the other parks.

I love the lush feeling of the entrance area. It's loaded with tropical plants, trees and flowers.

I love being able to hear and feel the rush of the waterfall in front of the Rainforest Cafe.

I love exploring every nook and cranny of the Oasis. There are many paths and diversions to keep the senses alive. There are bridges, caves, waterfalls, and a ton of things to explore. Not only that, but you also have a nice collection of animals to look at.

I would have to say MK is my favorite. I love walking under the train station and hearing the music and seeing the beautiful buildings on Main Street. It's magic every time.

EPCOT!! Epcot really reminds me of when I was a kid. Magic Kingdom would be second, then Animal Kingdom. I don't like MGM. Entering Disneyland tops all of them, but this wasn't about Disneyland, now was it.

I love the MK entrance!! It's as if you're entering a time machine or something when you're walking through the turnstiles... The music, the sights, the sounds, everything!

Animal Kingdom. Def. feels as though I am being transported into the jungle or the wild. Its really cool to walk right back to Harambe, jump on a safari and see all the animals..

Nothing makes me feel like I'm "home" than the walking under the train station, coming through and seeing the castle. Main Street is so classic and just the nostalgia I get gives me a rush.

I would have to agree with Brett on this one. MK was "THE" original park on all of my childhood visits to WDW. As I got older and went back as each additional park opened, it just wasn't the same. I knew it wasn't a dream and that I was truly at WDW when I walked under the train station (past the lockers and the cool WDW ride posters) and saw the castle from afar.

Although there is nothing like seeing the Castle while looking down Main Street, walking into Epcot is very special to me. Epcot was the first park that I walked in with my entire family and it holds a very special memory for me, plus the music they play is great!

AK does nothing for me. Every time we have been, it's been the longest wait and the most congestion. All the other parks have been walk-ins, even at the opening bell of the day.

It is always gonna be "Main Street U.S.A", because it so magical going under the railroad station, and walking into MS. Just so magical, at the Mk. :lol:.

Definetly Magic Kingdom get chills every time love it the one look at that castle and I know I'm there :sohappy: :sohappy: :sohappy:

 

[mwitkus]

It has to be Magic Kingdom for me..

This is gonna sound crazy, but staying at the Epcot Resorts (i.e. Beach Club 98, 2000, and Boardwalk 2002), I've grown to love the International Gateway entrance to Epcot. Especially at night...when I feel like taking the 5 minute walk to catch Illuminations! So magical to me...

MK just cause there's nothing like walking under the train station and breathing in Main Street air! lol

 

[David]

Gotta go with MK!!

 

[wardrobeguy]

MGM used to be a great entrance effect looking down Hollywood Blvd and seeing Grauman's Chinese as the centerpiece. It really evoked a fantasy version of Hollywood. Sadly, it's been ruined by the hat. The hat, while impressive, looks completely out of place. Much like the Epcot sign on Spaceship Earth.

So, my favorite entrance is a tie between MK and Epcot.

 

[foxfire]

I'd say for me it's a tie btwn MK and Epcot. I like the "suspense" of not seeing the castle until passing through the train station; and the futuristic appeal of Epcot.

EPCOT...if it weren't for all of those rocks in front of me...I'd probably consider it much more if the flowers were there...but it's just too "cold" right now. (And I don't mean I want a bunch of TREES everywhere, you Gemini people! :lol: )

MGM..what entrance? :lookaroun I

Animal Kingdom...quite....tropical. It's nice.

But wait just a second! Did you offer the Magic Kingdom park???!! Of course!

The train rolling in!

The nostalgic tunnels with those classic posters!

The families gearing up!

The walk into Main Street as everything is going on as usual!

The entrance music - and Main Street...

Whoaaaaa....sorry, I HAVE to pick Magic Kingdom. No doubts about it, sir!

I must agree with the majority and choose MK, bringing back all those childhood memories. A close second will be (WILL BE! I <i>will</i> be a cast member there!) the covered Main Street at Tokyo Disneyland -- how cool is it gonna be to see Cinderella's Castle covered with snow?!?

 

[PoohB]

It has to be MK! Walking down Main Street USA to the castle depicts what Disney is all about! I bet that image was almost exactly what Walt wanted everyone to see.
