If I had to choose just one among the Disney parks in Orlando during a first trip there, I would go to Magic Kingdom. It’s the most traditional, the most “magical” and the one that really makes you feel like you’re in Mickey’s land.

We did a very complete post talking about each attraction at Magic Kingdom.

Among the unmissable attractions at Epcot is the Soarina hang gliding simulator that passes through different places around the world (it’s really cool), the The Seas with Nemo and friendsFinding Nemo, and, more recently, the Frozen Ever After, a Frozen attraction that children love. Don’t forget to also see the fireworks show.
