Which area is your favorite??

I'm curious as to what area in each park is your favorite and why. Do you have a favorite walkway, entrance/exit, off the beaten path area??? Let's hear it.

I the area of DHS where Mama Melrose and the Christmas store are. Not sure why, I just love it back there.
My favorite part of Epcot is the English garden, it always seems so peaceful even when the park is packed.
In MK, I love any and everything about Main Street!!

Epcot:

Inside of Mexico, just like the ambiance. I never really buy anything in there but it is fun to mosey around in there for a while.

Magic Kingdom:

Main St Station while waiting for the train and playing the pianorchestra. (When it is working)

This is probably my favorite place in any of the parks. I just love it.

My fave place in DHS is Sunset leading up to Tower of Terror.
My fave place in MK is Liberty Square walking toward the Haunted Mansion.
My fave place in Animal Kingdom is the view from the front seat of Expedition Everest right before you start going backwards. You can see everything Disney!

My favorite place is looking down Main Street in MK toward Cinderella's Castle. We always go to MK first and I stand there looking down the street and get choked up that we are back. Silly huh?

My favorite area at the MK is walking the bridge from the center to Liberty Square. I love the colonial feel of the buildings and I love the tree with the 13 lanterns! Especially at night!
Favorite area of Epcot is the garden area of Canada. It is beautiful there!
Favorite area of DHS is walking up and through the entrance of Tower of Terror! I love the mist and it is so cool at night!
Now about the AK....I just love so many areas of this park! From the time I walk into the park, I love the music and the feel of nature all around you. The only place that drives me crazy is the area around EE - it gets so crazy busy and it always feels hotter there!

MK: I love sitting right in front of the castle, while the stage show is going on. It just makes me feel so warm and fuzzy, hearing the music, seeing Mickey and friends, smelling the food, hearing the kids laugh...

EPCOT: Oh man. This is tough. The walkway between WS and FW is great... a great view of SE, and beautiful flowers. I also love the fountain in France and the entire Italian pavilion. And the garden in England. Yeah I can't pick one place, lol!

DHS: Inside Sci-Fi. It's so campy in there and just makes me smile every time!

In Epcot, I love Japan - it's just so beautiful and peaceful there. In the Magic Kingdom, probably Main Street. It just reminds me of how Walt would've seen his town growing up and Animal Kingdom, for me, it's the Oasis area. It's wonderful to just wander there.

In Epcot, I like the outdoor areas in Future World West and Future World East. They're just so fascinating from a theming perspective, with one more organically designed and the other much more angular -- in the concrete, the plants...everything!

In AK, I like the "hidden" path that parallels the main one from Asia to Africa nearer the Africa side. It often feels like we're the only ones in the park as we walk that.

In DHS, I like the Echo Lake area because of the way it's designed -- depending on the hour of the day, the weather, and the time of year, you can feel blazing hot sun, cool shade, or something in between depending on where you stand or sit around that small lake. Also, I love the motion built into the area -- the fountain, the water from Min 'n' Bills, and the steam from Gertie.

In MK, I like the Tomorrowland Terrace Noodle Station's seating area. Even when the restaurant isn't running (which, sadly, is most of the time), the area is kept clean, themed music is still piped in, and it's kept temperature-controlled. Also, you can see the castle forecourt stage from many spots in there, or you can choose to look toward Tomorrowland, Main Street, or even the Rose Garden. It's just a nice place to relax for a few minutes.

I'm going to have to spend some time in this area, you make it sound very interesting....I've really never stopped around the lake. Thanks for the detailed opinion.
