I've been beaten to it, but the best word to me is supercalifragilisticexpialidocious - from Mary Poppins, for those who don't know it.
Oh, and also "moo". It's such a useful word. You can tell someone to "moo off" and you are still being polite, you can enter someones house and greet them with "moo!" (We usually do!), you can randomly change many verbs with moo - "Shall we moo off then?" "Let's moo!" "Time to moo". "Moooo!" (Yes). "Mooo..." (No) It's great!

My favorite has always been "thither" as in "hither, thither and yon" , The way it rolls off the tongue is just something that makes me chuckle. I try to use it as much as possible, but it isn't easy.

same sound as cellar door, my favorite word has always (well, since I first heard it when I was in junior high...) been scintillating.
just beautiful, every time I hear it I'm reminded of sunlight hitting the rippling waves just after sunrise at the cottage. augggh....homesickness!
