What Park to Take Girlfriend To?

[OhareATC]

Alright, so my girlfriend and I are both in a student organization at our college. The club will be traveling down to Orlando this fall. I am the president of the club, so I am in charge of plannign the trip. I would like to surprise my girlfriend and take her to either EPCOT or the Magic Kingdom. My favorite has always been EPCOT, but I don't know what park a 20 year old girl would prefer. We are both Aviation students so I mean, she loves flying and stuff. She loves rides. She also loves traveling and going to different countries. So I was thinking EPCOT because of Soarin, Mission Space, and World Showcase. But then again, she is a girl, and girls tend to prefer princesses, characters, etc. So what do you all think?

Very hard choice, but I'd go for MK, especially if she's never been.

Sounds like Epcot would be a great choice for the reasons you mentioned. Epcot also has the Food & Wine Festival in the fall, and while she is too young for the "wine" part, it is a great opportunity to partake in sampling dishes from all over the world for cheap

World Showcase by nature is also very romantic

Yeah that's what I was kinda leaning towards. Because, our group is going to eat dinner at Ohana. So I figure, It'd be the most convenient to just hop the monorail from MK to the Polynesian for dinner and then just take it back to the MK for the fireworks. It doesn't matter to me though, as I love both of them.

 

[real mad hatter]

Question..Has she been to WDW before.? If not,the MK. It's where the magic leaps out at you.Female or Male.

 

[OhareATC]

I'll have to ask her. She's never mentioned it before. If she did, she would have been a very little girl.

A caution for choosing MK...check the operating hours for the date you are planning to go. MK closes at 7 p.m. many nights in the fall for MNSSHP (a separately priced event). Epcot is always open until 9 p.m.

Oh yeah, forgot about that. We would also be going to the park on Saturday Nov. 16. In my experience, all of the parks are extremely busy on Satudays, but Magic Kingdom has always been especially busy on Saturday.

For a first timer, I'd definitely say MK, but you can't go wrong with either.

As a girl, I definitely say Magic Kingdom! That park just SCREAMS magic! The castle, the rides, the smells and sounds....it's perfection : )

 

[Britt]

Magic Kingdom is probably her childhood all wrapped into one park.....lol

 

[JustJude]

I'm going against the grain here and saying EPCOT. It sounds like she will enjoying exploring world showcase etc.

I am biased though as EPCOT is our favourite park

food and wine will be finished by then though as will MNSSHP.

 

[OhareATC]

I'm definitely gonna go out on a limb and go with the Magic Kingdom. She loves the Disney movies and stuff, so I think that this will be really fun for her. There's still a bunch of rides that she can go on. I'm not looking to make it an extremely romantic day, cause since we're traveling as a group, I have to bring the 6 other ATC students along and she's the only girl in our group. haha. I just wanna show her a good time. Thanks for all of your replies.

MK and Be a hero and make reservations at either Cinderella's Royal Table in the castle or the new Be Our Guest Restaurant

 

[PolynesianPrincess]

I'd go with MK! That's always been my favorite park and it really has all the Disney magic there

 

[Kobe!!]

For a first timer, I'd deff go with MK followed by EPCOT. However, if you have enough time and money, get a hopper and do as much as you can in one day!

You have to take her to Magic Kingdom, in my opinion, for a first timer. If you have more time then Epcot for sure. But she'll be amazed going the first time. Things like the sheer size of the grounds and the anticipation of taking a monorail or a ferry to get into the park will make her excited. Then the "walk" down Main Street. Honestly, I don't think you can go wrong doing that with a 20 year old girl. Heck, I'm a 32 year old man and Magic Kingdom is my first choice.

 

[bethymouse]

That might be a good idea to purchase a hopper and do both parks or even all 4!

Got to go with the advice given by Britt. Can't go wrong by taking her on the classic rides. Besides, I've never met a girl who doesnt have fond memories and love of riding the carrousel.

 

[mouse_luv]

Okay. I'm a female and I LOVE EPCOT! So don't count that out just bc it's a girl we are talking about. I would find out if she was ever there before and if not you really might think about MK. Otherwise, just go with a hopper and go to both. Have fun!
