Which park is laid out the best and the worst?

For me, MK is best, then Epcot, then MGM, then DAK.

I hate the layout at DAK, more to do with the paths being so narrow in places.

ok, honestly this is a major problem for the parks. Animal Kingdom I got lost in after being there several times before, because a) the map they give you is basically horrible and b) it's so big that finding anything takes forever. EPCOT would be good but again, it has so much wasted space in the front part it's ridiculous, and they find the need to close everything in the front at a certain time which raises a much needed . Hollywood Studios isn't quite as bad once you know where you're going, I was just never into the Tower of Terror so I always got turned around back in that section, but that's my fault not the layout. Magic Kingdom is actually quite good, it's simple, there's always something to do so you never feel lost, and it's very hard to get lost (unless you're on tom sawyers island going through the tunnels when it's like 100 degrees out and you just want to leave). I can't comment on the water parks since I skip them every time.

Hmm, how about hotel, which one's have the best/worst layout, cause I could never find where I was going at the stupid all star on senior trip but I was able to find everything at the Grand Floridian which I was never at before.

The best park layout, by far, is at the MK. Hub and spoke, multiple paths connecting the lands, WDW RR around the edges, large icon in the middle, dramatic entry into the park ... it works in every way. Navigating the MK is a pleasure.

The AK has several of the MK's elements (hint of hub and spoke, large icon in the middle, dramatic entry into the park) and is my second choice.

Epcot has one thing going for it - large walkways. Everything else leaves a lot to be desired. Future World is based on a bunch of dead ends, and World Showcase is an inefficient ring. To get to the American Adventure, for example, you have to walk through/past five other countries or wait for a boat and walk through/past two other countries. Epcot could use a whole bunch more connecting walkways - from pavilion to pavilion in Future World to tunnels under World Showcase Lagoon.

DHS is awful. A maze built for a mouse not a man. There's nothing logical or appealing about it. I can only imagine what non-Disney freaks think about it. It's frustrating.
I concur!

I think Epcot is great because there is no bottle necking, everything is very open and the crowds never feel like they are crushing you.

MK, although yes the hub is nice, there are parts of that park that get so tight that 50 people feels like 150 people.
