I sense that this thread is going to elicit strong reactions so everybody please be respectful. I enjoy going to all 4 parks and each park puts me into a distinct mood. However, most generally, I think EPCOT is the most flawed of all the parks simply based on the fact that there's no rides I deem significant. I'm sure plenty of people on the forums find Spaceship Earth, Living With The Land and The Seas With Nemo fantastic attractions, but unfortunately, I am not one of those people. EPCOT is very aesthetically pleasing and relaxing but it has become severely dated and it scores so poorly in the attractions department that I think it is easily the worst of the four parks. I love EPCOT. I really do. It just seriously needs that overhaul. However, what do you guys find to be the worst park?

ps. I wish I had a different word than "worst" but I really couldn't think of another term.

I voted HS, but thought about voting Epcot like yourself, and I also enjoy all 4. That said, I feel that neither HS or Epcot knows what they want to be anymore. I wish I felt more strongly that Disney really had a comprehensive vision for each.

That's a hard one. I don't like the use of the word worst either. Most of them have their problems. I don't like MK because of it's crowds and long lines, yet we spend more of our time there than at the others. AK has long been our favorite. And we don't mind the lack of thrill rides in Epcot and enjoy spending more relaxed days there, although I'm concerned at the direction the suits may take it. So I suppose, DHS, in it's current state, falls to our least favorite, and the one we spend the least amount of time in.

Like the least?

4th on your list of WDW parks?

prioritize last?

I don't really think of any as the 'worst' but MK has become the biggest headache and is probably the park we frequent the least now. But really all that means is I tend to have to find a good time to go there, such as evenings, EMH or special events, or be staying at a MK resort.

"Enjoy the least" might be the best phrasing

I'd say dhs for now because it's not worth going when it's a construction zone and epcot for later because it has the worst rides right now. Hopefully they get cracking on that epcot revival soon!

Soarin is a great ride!


BTW My favourite park is definitely DHS, I love it so much, I know right now is suffering lots of changes and identity problems, but is has its very special magic, I used to love the backlot tour, the new york scenography, I used to love the earful tower, I love the Chinesetheater I have learned to also love the Sorcerer's Hat blocking the Chinese view, I love all the roger rabbit props, I love AND WONT ACCEPT THEM TO TOUCH sunset boulevard with the ToT at the end, I also used to love the hidden mickey in the park design.
But I must accept it someway it loose its magic, and right now (it is still my favourite) is in between two versions of itself, the old "The Hollywood Studios that never was, and always will be." and the new version "MovieKingdom" with all the Mega-famous IPs lands hyper-inmersive style and I think i will love both of them. its a pitty that they are building that great movie kingdom theme park above another great theme park where the inmersivness was being able to see the back part of the facades, were you where happy looking how they make the magic happend, where a huge skycrapper was only a cardboard when you see it in the right angle and the subways stations dont take you anyware.
MGM or DHS is a park, that has suffered a lot in the last years (like all disney parks MK the main gate of magic had almost half ot the fantasyland close before the refurbishment of the "new fantasyland" something that seems incredible now a days) but has its unique way of beeing.

So... again what was the question?? oh.. yes, the worst park for me..... Animal Kingdom without a doubt.

Currently its DHS, by a mile, but once galaxys edge opens, it will still be terrible until a few years later and the newness wears off. I think people assume that when it opens, its suddenly going to be the #2 park. I don't see that place being enjoyable for a very very long time.

I'd put AK on the top of that list.

Avatar (Pandora) is a movie franchise (potentially) and really fits in with the DHS theme. I have no clue why it was built in AK.
No. Animal Kingdom is a conversation park which is why the area is run by the Pandora Conservation Initiative. In addition, the Animal Kingdom dedication plaque talks about the park being centered on creatures living, extinct and mythical. Avatar fits into the mythical category. Pandora surprisingly fits into Animal Kingdom but it’s about how Disney presented it and fortunately they did it well.

As several have already stated, "worst" is not the best choice of adjectives.

If we decided to go to a park today, I believe that AK would be the least likely choice. That's how I will vote.

I feel like Hollywood Studios has lost some of it's identity.

1. I loved the big Sorcerere's Hat when you entered the park - Gone

2. Great American Movie Ride- Gone

3. The crowd tv show ride - Gone

4. Too much star wars

5. Backtour- gone
Is hollywood studio going to just be Marvel & Starwars park?

DHS has Tower of Terror, RnRC, Star Tours, Muppets, with Runaway Railway and Galaxy's Edge on their way. Yes, it doesn't have the identity it once had, but that's on purpose. It still has a direction, attractions with promise coming soon, and multiple attractions that are renowned.

Epcot has... a messed up Test Track, a messed up Soarin', a messed up Journey Into Imagination, a ride whose greatest quality is that it spins you around really fast, an abandoned pavilion, a pavilion so untouched it might as well be abandoned, and freaking Nemo. And that's just Future World. Epcot is easily in the worst position of all four of the parks right now, which is why it gets my vote. When your best ride is SE, SE is still a great ride, but that's a problem in 2018.
