hmmm good question.....

Magic Kingdom, close tie between the haunted mansion and pirates of the caribbean

Animal Kingdom, probably kali river rapids

EPCOT, not a ride, but my favorite thing about EPCOT is the world showcase

MGM, again, not a ride, but favorite thing to do is watch fantasmic!

hope that helps!

MK - Buzz Lightyear with Big Thunder Mountain a close 2nd
Epcot - Soarin and the Mexico part of World Showcase
DHS - We missed a lot here but Tower of Terror from what we did, although I'm thinking Toy Story Mania may whip it into 2nd place soon...
Animal Kingdom - Festival of the Lion King

MK-The People Movers aka "The bule Line" brings back great memories of Disneyland back in the day :) Splash Mountain is close as well!!

Epcot: Test Track and Living with the Land-Love this boat ride, so enjoyable and educational!!!

AK: The Safari!! I love animals nothing makes me happier than seeing them up close :)

HS: Tower of Terror so much fun, cant be missed!!!

Magic Kingdom: carousel of progress (a sentimental favorite)
Epcot: Mission Space
Disney Studios: The Great Movie Ride (though, to echo others, I think Fantasmic [not a ride]is the single best attraction in all of WDW)
Animal Kingdom: Expedition Everest.

This will show just how long its been since I've visited the parks in Florida, or Mouseplanet. wish life wasn't so fast paced.

I forgot all about Soarin even though that is by far the best actual ride in EPCOT

Also I wasn't positive the Great Movie Ride was still around, but since apparently it is, I'd take that over Fantasmic. not they aren't both great.:)

Tough one! It so depends on my mood!

AK: Expedition Everest. For shows, Nemo is really good.

Studios: Toy Story Midway Mania. It's bumped Tower of Terror and RocknRollercoaster, which are tied for second now. It'll be interesting to see how the FP distribution at RnR changes with TSMM in the lineup, now (when I was there it was just AP previews, and they weren't using FP -- but you do miss a LOT of the great queue, include Mr. Potatohead, if you use FP!)

Epcot: Voices of Liberty (a capella group in the American Adventure rotunda). Ride - Mission:Space

MK: Considering the first thing I do when entering this park at any time other than rope drop (when I go hit Fantasyland) is get a FP for Buzz, I'd guess I'd have to say Buzz! Tough call between SpectroMagic and Wishes for best show.

AK: Expedition Everest, Safari, Nemo
DHS: One Man's Dream, Fantasmic! (haven't done Toy Story Mania yet!!)
EPCOT: Another vote for Soarin' and Voices of Liberty
MK: Peter Pan, POTC

I really only have one absolute FAVORITE ride . . . Big Thunder Moutain Railroad. Whether its Disneyland or WDW, I LOVE that ride . . . and I hate rollercoasters - go figure!

Hi everybody. I have a little project I've been working on for general travel information, but I started out with WDW because I worked there when I was in college as Jungle Cruise skipper. Anyway, the site lets you rate various attractions so it might be interesting to this thread. The site is called Planaroo.

I won't post a link in here because I don't want to upset the moderator :rolleyes: but you can probably guess how to find it. (Anyway, I don't think of Planaroo as a competitor to this site which does a fantastic job of covering every detail about WDW. We're going to cover the Top 10 US travel destinations, but we won't have as much depth about WDW as MousePlanet does. It's hard/impossible to catch up with such a huge site, so I won't even try.)

The site is in beta right now and not everything is working correctly, but I'd appreciate any feedback you might have. Thanks! -Kenny

I pretty sure I did one of these last year but I would guess my answers are different this year except for the Matterhorn that will always be my favorite ride.

MK - Pirates - even better with the modifacation from a couple years back
AK - Kilimanjaro Safaris - Like seeing the animals but like even more how Disney makes it a ride.
DHS - Toy Story Mania - it is better than Buzz. I like Buzz, I just think Toy Story Mania is better.
Epcot - Test Track - call me unoriginal

DL - Matterhorn - The king of all Disney attractions in my book.
CA - Soarin - since the movie and the state you are in while watching it actually match up. Can't they make a soarin over Florida for Epcot?

These are my top picks--the kids might take a different view:

Epcot==Soaring
MK--Big Thunder Railroad (at night)
Hollywood Studios=Rock & Roll Rollercoaster
AK--Safari


For shows:

Hollywood Studios: Indiana Jones Stunt Show
AK--Lion King
Epcot--Illuminations
MK--Wishes

MK: Peter Pan (Much better than DL's version)

AK: Kilimanjaro Safaris (although I really like Everest and Kali RR too)

DHS: Tower of Terror, hands down (again, MUCH better than CA's version).

Epcot: Mission:Space. I love this park so much though, World Showcase is one of my very favorite places in WDW. I would have chosen Soarin' but I've only ridden it here once since I can't justify the wait times when I ride it several times during any visit to DL. I also LOVE Illuminations, a "not to be missed" show, IMO.


Olivia's (8) favorites:

MK: Buzz, Teacups and Aladdin's Carpets

AK: Kali RR

DHS: Voyage of the Little Mermaid (okay, so it's a show, not a ride)

Epcot: Mission:Space (the green side) and Test Track

MK: Peter Pan (followed by Carousel of Progress, Peoplemover and Haunted Mansion, BTMRR, and Splash - hard to make a decision here!)

Epcot: Soarin'

AK: Everest (followed by the Nemo show, and ITTBAB)

HS: ToT (followed by RnRC)
