Trips to Disney don’t come cheap. You want to make sure you’re choosing to spend your time (and hard earned money) at the right parks. The next time you embark on a magical Disney vacation, stay away from the bottom-ranked parks.

Epcot
Epcot has some amazing qualities. Though futuristic in feel, Epcot provides a sense of nostalgia unlike many other Disney parks. Where else can you “travel around the globe, under the sea, into outer space… and beyond?” However, the main complaints about Epcot seem to be that it’s boring compared to other Disney parks, and that it just doesn’t seem like it has longevity (i.e. timeless attractions).

Disney’s Animal Kingdom
Disney’s Animal Kingdom definitely goes all out in terms of decor and whimsy. Guests are truly transported into the animal kingdom. However, that’s pretty much where the magic stops. Out of the whole park, there are only a couple actual rides (Expedition Everest, Pandora: World of Avatar). Lots to look at — not a whole lot to do.
Next: This park could be the best Disney park in the future, but, as of now, it needs some work.

Hong Kong Disneyland
Though Hong Kong Disneyland has some identity issues, there’s hope for the future. “HKDL has announced a huge Frozen, Marvel, and castle expansion (yes, they’re expanding the castle). While there’s the potential for this to strip Hong Kong Disneyland of its quaint charm and intimacy, it really needs these additions–and an identity of its own. If all goes well, Hong Kong Disneyland could be an elite Disney theme park by its 15th anniversary,” says Disney Tourist Blog.

California Adventure
Disney’s California Adventure has the opposite problem of Animal Kingdom: a lot of fun, but no real cohesive theme. Especially with the additions of Guardians of the Galaxy – MISSION and the upcoming Pixar pier, it’s hard to nail down what California Adventure is all about.

Shanghai Disneyland
Shanghai Disneyland is getting mixed reviews. While some are praising the park for its ambition, others complain about the domestic budget cuts and jumping too far into the future. WDW Info is even worried that some of the ride details are so advanced that it makes other parks look bad, and that the futuristic animatronics take away from Disney’s classic charm.

Disney Hollywood Studios
The old Hollywood charm and glamour make Hollywood Studios what it is, but besides what’s going on decor wise on Sunset and Hollywood Boulevard, there’s hardly anything to do. As of 2018, the park really only has four rides (That doesn’t feel like enough to even qualify as a park!), though plenty of behind-the-scenes, interactive attractions. If you visit the Disney World website, you’ll see a lot of “coming soon” on the Hollywood Studios page. But to make this park feel like a fully finished park, they’ll need to add even more than what’s already coming.

Walt Disney Studios Park
Walt Disney Studios Park is a crowd least-favorite. Lacking direction and quality attractions, it makes the top of the list. “Walt Disney Studios Park has–against all odds–also managed to get worse over the course of the last year thanks to the closing of its best attraction, Cinemagique,” says Disney Tourist Blog writer Tom Bricker. “And even with some loosely-defined plans to inject Marvel into the park in the coming years, Walt Disney Studios Park remains a rudderless ship, and one that needs several areas of the park rebuilt from the ground up.”
