Top 10 Must-See Attractions

[BigPigletFan]

I was reading a listing of the top 10 Must-See attractions for each park and surprised to see the list and how each attaraction ranked.

My challenge to you is to pretend you're making a top 10 Must-See attraction list for an upcoming Walt Disney World tour book. Pick 10 and only 10 attractions (shows, exhibits, character meet-and-greets, etc) that visitors must see at each park!


Magic Kingdom Park:
Epcot:
Disney-MGM Studios:
