Gonna sound odd, but bear with me. Which WDW park has the best ATMOSPHERE? I mean, something that really getting s to you and weaves its magic? I'd say immediately it has to be EPCOT for me. Walking out of the park after the fireworks is pure magic. You feel molly-coddled by Disney. It's gorgeous. Second place goes to Animal Kingdom, especially earlier on in the day. Not to say that the other parks don't have a great hum - I just prefer these two!

That’s difficult because each park has their own specific feel. Epcot is my favorite park, and I love the atmosphere of the different countries, and the new atmosphere at the front of the park. However, I also think MK has great atmosphere, especially Main Street, where you are transitioning to and from the real world and the fantasy world.

For right now, I think DHS has the worst overall atmosphere of the four, as it feels a little disjointed in some areas. It needs some better transitions from one area of the park to another. But none of the Disney Parks really have a bad atmosphere. I usually feel transported to another place when I enter any of them.
 
I totally agree with EPCOT! Honestly, even walking into the park feels like a big hug to me. Sometimes I even tear up a bit because it's such a happy place for me. And yes leaving after the fireworks, especially with the light show on Spaceship Earth, is just magical.
 
At WDW It's gotta be MK, but overall I think it's Tokyo DisneySea for me.
 
Gotta be EPCOT.
Walking out at the end of the day, after the lagoon show,
nothing beats the music, the lighting of the park against the darkness,
the lights in the walkway that sparkle... ahh...
Best memories are DS being fascinated by the lights in the pavement
and trying to "catch" each one with his hands.
Thanks for the memories... 💫
 
My last trip it I'd say the best vibe was Toy Story Land in Disney Studios, the children everywhere were just super happy and that made me happy. Now that might not be true in the heat.

EPCOT is right up there with being lovely, and it is certainly that and there is a warmth in the familiarity but the vibe isn't what I would call electric.
