As a general matter, Animal Kingdom is the park that requires the least strategy and is the easiest place to beat the crowds in all of Walt Disney World. It doesn't require Genie+ or Individual Lightning Lanes, and is pretty easy to knock out everything–and then some–if you stay for a full day.
Epcot is arguably the best Disney theme park for adults as far as attractions, dining, drinking, shopping, and shows go. The 11 culturally enriching pavilions of World Showcase are usually a top priority for adults, and the restaurants are some of the best in all of Disney World. Epcot also wins out on events.

Sure, you can park at EPCOT and hop the bus to Animal Kingdom Theme Park (and back); however, it will involve transferring busses, which could cut into the time you could enjoy at each theme park. You would park at EPCOT, hop a bus to one of the resorts, and then transfer to the Animal Kingdom Theme Park bus.
