What will be your favorite park...in 25 years?!?

[CarlFredricksen]

There have been a few threads started lately about 'what 5th gate would you want to see?' and 'where would a 5th gate go?', but most everyone is in agreement that before a 5th gate, the 4 current parks need some work done.

That being said, assuming Disney continues to improve the 4 current parks, and each park has had a significant amount of additions over the next quarter century, which can you see being your favorite 25 years from now? Would more additions, like a BK land, make AK more attractive? Will the addition of FLE keep MK timeless and your favorite? Will EPCOT have any more E ticket attractions added in the next quarter century? Will DHS do anything to push it to the top of your list?

For me personally, MK will always be my favorite park, no matter what. However, after the FLE and other rumored projects that are set to take place over the next 2-8 years, I can see Disney going back to AK and spending the next 5-10 years of development on it. Most everyone is in agreement that AK is only a 1/2 day park and could use some more love. I think with a few more E tickets, and the addition of another 1-2 lands, AK could be a great park and surpass Epcot and DHS in my book!

As long as there is knowledge to be had, countries to be visited, and beers to be drank, my heart will belong to Epcot.

The Magic Kingdom / Epcot / Hollywood / Animal Kingdom

Considering what my age will be in 25 years I think my favorite park will be the one with the best handicapped access.

In 25 years my favorite park will likely be Forrest Lawn Cemetary. Lot 3. Plot 6. Space 9. Right under the Magnolia Tree.

I think the MK will be my favourite park. The basic concept is just so strong and enduring. The Castle Parks have captivated their audiences for 55 years over three continents. I love it and always will.


EPCOT for a brief while was my favourite during the mid-eighties. I expected it to get better still, with the WS being finished. Alas, time has not been kind to the park. I do not know what the future will bring for EPCOT, but for me, sorry to be an old fart, I don't think I'll never be able to shake of the memories of EPCOT 1.0 I think.
Still, there is magic in EPCOT.

DAK looks set to improve, there is great potential in the park!
DHS looks problematic. It is a bit of a mess, it feels like changes have not followed a logical plan. The basic design is just not very strong.

I think EPCOT and MK will still be 1 and 2, and AK will probably overtake DHS, but who really knows.

 

[Krack]

My guess is that over the next 25 years, DHS will see the influx of Marvel characters (and a bunch of thrill rides that will accompany it). I also think it's likely to see the Temple of the Forbidden Eye as a replacement for the stuntshow (forming a Lucas/Spielberg land). I think that will wind up being the park I enjoy the most (as they continue to drive adults out of MK and dumb down Epcot).

[Susan Savia]

Always Epcot. Even if they didn't change a thing, it would still be my favorite.

 

[Mr. Morrow]

Same as today Epcot.

 

[BrerFrog]

DAK, because by then it will have BK, Journey to the Center of the Earth, The Excavator instead of Dinorama, a functional Yeti and Australia. Right? :lookaroun

 

[bgraham34]

MK will always be number 1 to me. I am a big kid at heart.

You are CORRECT!!!

I hope

 

[Matt and Kelly]

I would have to say Magic Kingdom will still be my favorite in 25 years. Some advances to Animal Kingdom could close the gap, but I'm pretty sure MK would still be the top park for me.

 

[ChrisFL]

My park, in 25 years it should be well on it's way to being open for a while.

Sadly, the park plans are top secret right now.

 

[gallerie]

Epcot. And I will be wheeling around in one of those electric wheelchairs I now complain about!

 

[LoriMistress]

I'll still enjoy all four parks for their own different reasons. I may prefer MK because I'll experience the magic all over again through my childrens' eyes (when I have kids). I'll still enjoy Epcot because of the WS, and all the new technology that FW will have. I'll still love AK because it does feel like you're trekking around Africa, Asia, etc. and the closest thing to experiencing the animals to their natural environment. I'll still love DHS.
