Good Morning Folks...Here's my Disney offer for today..You and your family has been given a magical golden ticket..Pick any park to spend one hour, all to yourselves..Which Park would you pick? And how would you spend that magical hour.?..Myself, I would opt for MK and start in Tomorrowland with Buzz thro Fantasyland with all the new stuff, then into Liberty Square with Haunted Mansion then by pass Frontierland into Adventureland with the Pirates of the Caribbean..I reckon my hours up..Over to you..

My first impulse was to say Magic Kingdom, but I don't find the ride lines to be that terribly tragic there and now that I can schedule my fast passes and know I've got a short wait for at least three of the choke points, I can handle MK. I'd pick Hollywood Studios and literally park myself on Toy Story for an hour. I WILL win the bear!

I would have to pick Magic Kingdom. First I would ride Buzz till my hand started to cramp so maybe just once I could beat my husband's score. Than I would have to pick Haunted Mansion and Jungle Cruise. If there was still time I would hit Winnie the Pooh. mickey

This is hard, because on one hand you do have the logic side of doing this to ride things that normally have substantial waits with zero wait at all, but then on the other hand you have to think about what would be more fun and magical to be all by yourself (save CMs) in.

And I have to go with the latter option on this and choose Magic Kingdom. Yes, EPCOT and HS have rides with much longer wait times, and they house some of my favorite attractions. But for this very special hour all to myself, I want to soak in as much as I can in the park that tends to be the busiest. I'd try to hit all of the lands, hitting only a few select attractions in each. Pirates, Splash, Big Thunder Mountain, Haunted Mansion, the Mine Train (this is, of course, after it's open - if it isn't then probably Peter Pan's Flight because why not if there's no wait!), then Space Mountain. I'd finish up on the People Mover, because I'm sure my hour is up and I could watch the crowds infiltrate the park from above. muchlove

that is a tough question but I think I would choose epcot mostly because I all the time I have been there I have only been on soarin once because of the crowds, and also to do mission space which I have never done but I figure if I gonna be alone who cares if I get sick.

Wow that is a very tough question..really had to stop and think about it and am sure once I've sent this I will say wait... But it has to be Magic Kingdom as that is the park I always have to go to first. And I guess I would run to Thunder Mountain, Pirates of the Caribbean, Haunted Mansion, Seven dwarfs Mine Train (if it is open) and last but not least and don't all shot me but I always have to ride It's a Small World.

I'd pick MK because it's my favourite park. I'd do a few rides but mostly I'd just wander around and take in the scenery and detail I often miss because of the crowds.

I'll go with the MK. I think for starters, I'll head straight to Peter Pan's Flight, then head over to Tomorrowland and head to Space Ranger spin where I'll try the doing the double 999,999! If I finish sooner, it's a ride on Pirates. If I do not accomplish the double 999,999 by that hour, well, I'll get off, make a FP+ reservation for another shot at that later in the day so my thumb can rest.

My first instinct was to say MK, but as I thought about it...I'd really want to spend my time in Animal Kingdom on the Wild Africa Trek with the animals.

Every trip a different attraction becomes my favorite. With this solo hour I want to spread out a blank on the lawn in front of the crystal palace and enjoy Hallowishes.

Ditto. I would just ride Toy Story over and over and over.

I would have to agree! The scenery and detail in MK is so meticulous and I would just love to be able to see all of it without anyone blocking my view mickey

I'd probably say Epcot...in previous years, I thought I'd done most of what Epcot has to offer, but am starting to find out there is a lot more I've either ignored or just plain missed!

It would be a tough call for me between MK and Epcot. I would love to be in an empty MK, but the appeal of riding Soarin & Test Track over and over without any lines is appealing too. That's a hard one!

I'd do Magic Kingdom, walk to the left and do Pirates, then Splash and Big Thunder, then Haunted Mansion. If there was time left, I'd go do the Frontierland rides again and just walk around the area, or maybe do Tiki Room.

Magic Kingdom, no doubt.

And I'd probably just sit in the Main St. hub and turn between looking at the castle in the early morning light and watching Main Street.

DHS...I would ride TSM until I couldn't handle it anymore and then I'd go back and forth between ToT and RnRC for the rest of my hour.

Since I'd have my 3 kids with me, Magic Kingdom for sure!

It would be a toss up between MK and spend an hour just riding BTMRR over and over or AK and riding EE over and over ...
