What do you think is the worst park? Or what one needs the most help?

Until Star Wars land and Toy Story Land are completed, it will be less of what it should be. Major attractions are gone and we have to wait many years for the new stuff. Its not right that they charge full price to even go there.

What do you mean "it's not right"? No one is forcing you to buy a park ticket. How are ethics a part of the equation?

I'm sure most of the responses will be for HS. Right now, it's barely even a 1/2 day park for me. On our last trip, I was ready to go after about 3 hours. Hopefully once everything is done there it will be back to a full day park.

I'll be at DHS for the first time in about 15 years in April. From everything I've read, I'm kind of looking forward to ducking out in the afternoon, having dinner outside "the bubble" and coming back in time to queue up for Fantasmic.

For me right now it is HS but Epcot is not far off. I personally don't go to parks for the shops or restaurants. I go for the rides and attractions. Right now HS has so much closed it has to be my pick, but I was in Epcot the other day and did every right in about 2 hours, not counting Universe of Energy. Probably even less than 2 hours. Both are severely lacking for me. However Future World looks terrible at this point and needs a ton of help. I am going with HS because until Star Wars and Toy Story open I might not even return there.

It's always been HS for me (at least, in recent years, it has been). I don't have the patience or desire to sit through more than a couple of live shows in a day, and I really enjoy having a variety of good-quality dining experiences. Given HS's larger percentage of attractions that are shows (as opposed to "rides"), its low attraction count, and its somewhat dismal dining selections (perhaps WDW can start offering an HS-specific, discounted DDP -- known as the "Dismal Dining Plan" ;) ), it's a quickie half-day park for my family, and the one we'd be most likely to skip if we didn't have time for all 4 parks.

Hopefully all that will change someday if/when Star Wars Land and the Pixar-related expansion come to fruition.

I think HS is in need of the most love right now, but as others have said Epcot is not far off... Considering all the money and infrastructure HS is getting I don't think it will stay like this for long. I think once Star Wars land and Toy Story Land opens up people will be much more willing to spend time there. It's also lacking a bit of theming compared to the other parks.

Epcot however is just lacking new experiences. I think they're attempting to put new shows in (correct me if I'm wrong) around the pavilions... But seriously. Everything has stayed the same there minus a few refurbs. Just in a little need of some love.

Studios always been the worst park for me even back in the 1990's that got worse in the 2000's. My answer though would change around 2020 to 2021 though. The new lands for DHS is years away from being completed and there is less stuff to do right now as a result. All Disney is doing before the lands are completed are band aids like Having a daytime Star Wars Show, and a Star Wars Fireworks show at night.

While Epcot is always my favorite, I don't like where it is to be in 2020/2021 at this point and looks to be the park in the worst shape at that point. While World Showcase has Frozen mess in Norway, rest of the Pavilions in World showcase are solid for 2020. The fact is Future World in 2020/2021 isn't pretty at this point although Land Pavilion isn't a problem after this summer. Soarin' update was long needed and Circle of Life is going away after 20 years.

There is a lot issues that really need to be address for Future World for preventing Epcot being the worst WDW theme park in 2020/2021.

We were there in January and actually opted for less Epcot time in favor of DHS. With Soarin' being closed, the only major attractions are TT, Spaceship Earth, and Mission Space. I don't like the new TT, I don't care for Mission: Space that much, so that left Spaceship Earth and the few other little attractions. Maybe I'll feel a bit different on my next trip when I'm 21 (and Soarin' and Frozen are open) but I was more content to go over to DHS and do their attractions multiple times in one day, plus a show or two than spend the day at Epcot. Also, with DHS, there are plans in motion to improve the park while FW in Epcot is just a mess and there are no plans to fix it.

World Showcase is the best part of EPCOT. I've said EPCOT needs a $2n investment and it's shameful they've let it get this bad.

Also, Frozen is a negative in my eyes.
