Visiting Disney parks is definitely high on every child’s wishlist because these parks are the epitome of unadulterated fun and entertainment. In fact, one of the most common wishes of cancer-struck children to wish granting organizations is to visit Disney Parks, which is why they are considered to be ‘clichéd’ wishes! The following are the top 10 best Disney Parks around the globe:
9. Walt Disney Studios Paris
Opened in 2002, Walt Disney Studios in France is no doubt a beautiful destination but it cannot match up to the high standards set by more popular Disney parks around the world; this explains the reason why it has the lowest footfalls in comparison to other Walt Disney parks! The attractions here like the Earful Tower, Crush’s coaster and Flying Carpets over Agrabah are more or less interesting, but nothing that will blow your mind completely!
8. Disney’s Animal Kingdom
Disney’s Animal Kingdom is located in Bay Lake, Florida and is the second largest theme park on Earth. The park is represented by the popular icon, The Tree of Life, a sculpted artificial tree that is 145 feet tall. The live shows offered by the theme park, like the Lion King one and Finding Nemo one are quite impressive. However, the park takes a huge blow as far as maintenance is concerned. Some of the attractions, including the park’s icon ‘The Tree of Life’ and the surroundings are dirty and poorly maintained, which is quite disappointing.
7. Disney’s Hollywood Studios
This is a mediocre Disney Park because there are better ones out there and it mostly has activities for children and teenagers, therefore adults may find the park to be boring. Disney’s Hollywood Studios offer behind-the-scenes look with Hollywood-style live shows, backstage tours, special events with celebrities and attractions. Visitors to this park find the rides to be not very thrilling. Another reason why this park gets a thumbs down from visitors is its unfriendly staff members.
6. Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom
This is one of those parks that are not exactly out-of-this-world but are not bad too. The park is ‘magical’ for kids mostly as it is dedicated to fairy tales and Disney characters but adults will find something to keep them occupied too, like dining with Disney characters at theme restaurants. The parks’ most famous attractions are the Thunder Canyon and the Haunted Mansion. A drawback of the park is that its rides are poorly maintained.
5. Disneyland Paris
While Walt Disney Studios in Paris does not offer much, Disneyland Paris is the exact opposite, so the next time you’re in Paris, you know which of the two Disney parks you should visit! The park offers splendid versions of Space Mountains and Big Thunder, probably the best versions in comparison to other Disney parks! The Mansion and Pirates attraction here is extremely innovative and the cherry on top of the cake here is the dragon in the castle’s basement!
4. Hong Kong Disneyland
While Disney is generally associated with the Western culture, Hong Kong is an exception because of Hong Kong Disneyland. This Disney theme park is meant for Asian Disney fans who cannot afford a trip to France or USA. What’s more, the theme park does not disappoint because it is just as good as some of the best Disney parks in the West, if not better! There are lots of rides and fine hotels here. All in all, it is a great place to hang out in for Disney lovers.
3. Disney California Adventure
Rated as the third best park in the world by most visitors, Disney California Adventure is definitely a fun place to hang out in with friends or family. There is a wide selection of rides here from Luigi’s Flying Tires to Toy Story Midway Mania to Radiator Springs Race. You will surely not regret your visit to Disney California Adventure because the park makes it absolutely worthwhile.
2. Tokyo Disneyland
This is indeed the Dark Horse in the race because it is one comparable to the original Disneyland in Anaheim. There are umpteen attractions here in Tokyo Disneyland and the park also have the best versions of classic Disney attractions like Tom Sawyer Island, Splash Mountain, etc. The park’s award winning Pooh’s Hunny Hunt ride system is also worth trying out at least once. The park also has a wide selection of food and the best staffing records!
1. Tokyo DisneySea
The 176-acre Tokyo DisneySea definitely takes the crown as the most enjoyable Disney Park in the world. It offers a great theme park experience and is lushly decorated with theme lands and attractions. It has a record of being the fastest theme park on Earth to reach the ten million guests milestone, i.e. just 307 days after its opening! A day spent in exploring Tokyo DisneySea is definitely one that is well spent for all adventure and nautical lovers!
This has got to be the lowest-scoring Disney Park as far as entertainment and fun is concerned. Epcot first opened its gates in October 1982, it is based on dual themes: international culture and technological innovation. The park is open all year round and it is represented by Spaceship Earth, which is a geodesic sphere that serves as an attraction too. Although the park may have a lot of visitors, it is a place where one can be entertained just for a few hours because there is not much to do here except try out a handful of attractions and eat in some great restaurants here!
