All the parks are wonderful so it is a difficult choice. It really depends on the age group of your party, and whether they want scary roller coasters or something a little less energetic. If you have young children then perhaps you should start with Disney's Magic Kingdom as you will be blown away by the castle, and it really brings the Disney magic to life.
My personal favourite is Epcot, with the fantastic 'Soarin' and the amazing Mission Space, not to mention the extremely popular 'Race Track.' Here you will also experience a firework and laser show like no other - it still sends goose bumps up my spine and we have seen it lots of times.
Another favourite is Animal Kingdom, as it is so different from the other parks, and has 'Everest' for those who love roller coasters, but also some wonderful animal features, plus the enchanting Nemo show and the Lion King show.
Hollywood Studios is one you must not miss, and of course there is Universal and Islands of Adventure, not to mention the water parks.... the list just goes on and on.
Really it is personal taste, but whichever park you start with I am sure you will love it all.
I love to start with the Magic Kingdom, there is no feeling like the one you'll get walking towards the castle on Main Street.
We did MK over two days on our last trip and I would say each parks takes at least one full day to get around.
We always do Animal Kingdom first as due to the jet lag we're getting tired by the early evening and Animal Kingdom closes earliest.

Magic Kingdom, then Animal Kingdom, then SeaWorld, then Epcot, then the beach, Then Disney/MGM. In between are days (or 1/2 days) at water parks, shopping and whole days in the villa just relaxing while I play a round or two of golf. Ohh I forgot Kennedy Space Center combined with Coco Beach - marvelous..
The parks take 1 to 2 days each if you want to see and do all without running round like a headless chicken getting all stressed.
Enjoy - I wish I could go for 3 weeks......[msnembarrased]

I would say Magic Kingdom if you have small children - it really is magical and the view of the castle down Main Street is fantastic!!
