What Popular WDW Thing Just Doesn't Do It For You?

[SydneyFalco]

I was talking recently with a fellow Disney traveler, and when I confessed that I took my time in the parks, and didn't always stay for the full day, she was aghast. Then she told me about collecting pins, and also raved about the fireworks. I told her I didn't "get" the pins and that I didn't like fireworks (or parades).

(The fireworks thing really gets on my wife's nerves. She LOVES them. I'd rather go back to the hotel for a late swim.)

What little aspect of the Worlds can you just not "get into", for whatever reason?

[edamethyst]

I don't get the pins either. I love love love the fireworks! The parades if I happen to catch one - great - if not then I don't worry about it. But, yeah, its the pins for me too. I just don't get spending that kind of money then trading, why not just buy the one you want in the first place? :confused3

[SydneyFalco]

I have to admit--I feel like quite the freak about the fireworks thing. Every Disney visit and every Canada Day (that's just regular July the 1st for you Yanks and Brits) I'm like the deaf guy at the concert.

[dnoyes]

I don't care for the parades very much but I did enjoy the one in Epcot in 2000. Don't remember what it was called but they were big gold wheels that turned and had several drums in them being played by a person at each end.

I've never got the pin thing either.

[pepe of ohio]

We don't get in the pin trades either and we are not people that stay in the parks all day long, too much of a good thing can get old and tiring. we enjoy the resort, enjoy returning and relaxing around the pool. The past few trips we have been going back for a few afternoon parades but after you seen them a few times...................rather skip them. Photopass is another item we could do without, we take our own pictures and after 41 trips, have just about snapped everything in sight.

[mkel34]

I don't get Hollywood Studios...didn't get it when it was MGM either:)

[dnoyes]

OK, I'll say it..... I don't care for Magic Kingdom. We go there once every time we're at WDW but I think it's out of guilt more then anything else.

There, I said it. I feel better now;)

[The Hendies]

Parades! I have only seen Spectromagic. During all other parades we take advantage of shorter lines for our favorite rides. I do keep track of parade times and route so we don't get 'trapped off'.

[iluvwesties]

I don't like the Snow White ride, to me, it seems like a bunch of cardboard cutout figures and not much else :confused3 I think it needs updating or changing.

But, I LOVE Winnie the pooh ride :lmao:

bouncy,bouncy,bouncy...fun,fun,fun,fun,fun :dance3:

[cyndylou]

We left AK in the early afternoon to return to MGM (or so it was called then) to see "Indiana Jones," which we had been told was a "not to be missed" event. We were so disappointed! Also, the Rockin' Roller Coaster didn't live up to its hype. We are returning to WDW in Feb 09, and will not return to that theme park.

[SydneyFalco]

I don't get Hollywood Studios...didn't get it when it was MGM either:)

I'm very luke warm on it myself. But I have not been on Tower Of Terror or the roller coaster, and I hear those are the highlights. The Great Movie Ride is soooo lifeless. I wouldn't mind it getting a massive overhaul.

Good for you, never be afraid to express yourself ... strange, strange person. Is it the whole park, the feel, or what?

[ransom]

I'm no fan of "it's a small world" and I really loathe the people who are rude enough to book their trips for when I plan to be there. :mad:

[Disney Princess Elli]

I don't really like the parades... I'd much rather go on all the rides while they're empty!

[themudd4]

My DH hates the parade and fireworks...so I guess there are a bunch of ya there. For me...It is the Lights Motor Action car stunt show. I get board after a few minutes and am ready to leave. And climbing up all those stands in 90+ degree heat when your already beat down tired...:scared:

[Ilivetogo]

I don't really like the parades... I'd much rather go on all the rides while they're empty!

DITTO! :thumbsup2

[coltfan]

I am not a big fan of Test Track and have never cared for the Spectromagic parade at MK. I agree with the poster above that loved the Millenium parade at Epcot.

[JoJo's Mom]

I wasn't real impressed with Tom Sawyer Island at MK. Once was enough for me. ;)

[Shmily01]

I totally agree with you. I walked in there fine and left with a massive headache. Too much to look at at once and my kids hated it....Not for me!:yay:

[vanillarum]

Jungle Cruise. Awful. Been twice, never again. :thumbsup2

[scotas]

I'm really not into the parades. Its more about the crowds than the parades themselves. Also disliked Fantasmic when my friends dragged me to it.

[TewEpcot]

Well... hmmm... I don't like Character Meals. How's that? Or Whispering Canyon Cafe.

I pretty much like everything else. :goodvibes LOL!

[permavac]

My DH and I haven't liked any of the shows - Indiana Jones, Nemo, Fantasmic, Lights, Motors, Boring ;) - don't know what it is, we just can't get into them (maybe it's the sitting down when all we want to do is keep exploring). Thankfully, there is so much going on at Disney that there's something for everyone. That's why we love it! And all the walking in the nice weather, of course!

[edamethyst]

OK, I thought of one other thing I strongly dislike, ok maybe I actually hate it, yep I do. I can't spell it but its the Rapids ride in Animal Kingdom. Every single time we have gone on that ride I end up under the waterfall. Not just for a sprinkle or two but for the full blown, head to toe, drenched to my skin SHOWER! I hate it. It ruins the rest of the day for me. I walk around with my hair drenched, my clothes actually dripping, my shoes squish out water with every step and I just keep repeating I wanna go home (not home home but resort home). I've said each time I'll never go on it again and somehow I get talked into it *** it just can't happen to me again and guess what.... it does.:confused3

[DisneyHolidayFan]

We are not fond of AK; only visit about every 3rd trip.

[teacher100]

I don't get pin trading. What do people do with those things when they get home? Character meals are nice, but way over priced. Last trip we gave the boys a choice between an extra souvenir or a character meal. They went for the souvenir.

[Poohbug]

I really don't get the Hoop De Doo Revue. So not worth the money or time.

I don't love the Lights, Motors, Action show-one time and I never have to go again.

I also don't get Cirque De Whatever. I hate the circus and I know it is not the same. I just am not interested in seeing it at all.

The fact that the Speedway at MK is still there is baffling to me. They could use that space for so much more. Or at least upgrade it.

[princess&her4princes]

We're not big fans of AK, seen better zoos and feel like it's a waste of our time. It always seems like it's 100 degrees hotter there, too!!:confused3

[glenpreece]

Kilam. Safari, why? If i wanted to see animals I'd go to the Toronto Zoo.

[SIMMSMOUSE]

I don't want to wait around an hour for a parade, we are all about the rides and cool shows. Although one thing I really enjoyed on our last trip to the world was The Carousel of Progress. I did see the first time we went but I really enjoyed it. I think as time goes on they need to add to it. I think it is not only educational but fun. My 6 and 8 year old did not appreciate it as much as me and my DH but they will one day.princess:

[UrsulasShadow]

Don't like MVMCP. Waste of money.

[kat3668]

I am not a fan of the Swiss family treehouse thing. lets walk up a million steps with nothing much to see. Also the stitch ride is the biggest waste of space in my opinion in all of WDW.:goodvibes

[lovetoscrap]

I like parades but the one at AK does nothing for me. And I will probably have rotten eggs thrown at me, but I really don't like/get Illuminations! I love Wishes and Fantasmic but Illum. just bores me. The effects are cool, but been there done that (3x).

[ToddyLu]

:cool1: I loathe the bus ride back to the resorts late at night. You are packed to the gills and then the driver has to turn on the **** lights! :scared1: I have never understood Innovations in Epcot, they could use that space for more interesting rides. What do they do in there? I just remember lots of kids running around in there.popcorn:: Love the parades and fireworks.

[Mrs. Pookie]

I don't get the holiday parties, and why everybody is so obsessed with them. They are a rip off for what you get, and just another way for Disney to make money.

[nurse.darcy]

I LOVE this thread. Its awesome.

One of the best things about Disney is there is so much to see and do that it really doesn't matter if you don't like something cause there is always something else.

Popular dislikes that I like. . .

1. Pin trading. If you start you will understand and then you will be addicted. . .if you don't get it don't start. . .
2. Illuminations. I walked from DHS to Epcot after a fantastic meal at HBD to see this. It made the show so much more enjoyable.
3. Animal Kingdom. . .I "get" it. But that is exactly what you have to do "get it" to enjoy it.
4. Innoventions. . .I love seeing this through the eyes of my 15 year old who thinks its the next best thing to sliced bread.
5. Parades. . .I just like them.
6. DHS. . .LOVE this park. There is RnR, TOT, Tune in Lounge with David and Mario. . .what more could you ask for. . .
7. Watching Spectromagic from the balcony at the Main Street train station.

My dislikes. . .

1. Buses at the end of the day. . .
2. Stroller nazis who think its okay to clip your heels with their buggies. . .
3. People who refuse to take their kids for naps. . .ITS A MELTDOWN CAUSE THEY ARE TIRED PEOPLE. . .GET A CLUE. After a break and a snack they will be much more willing to commando the parks again.
4. MK's layout. . .I am from the "original" in California so the layout at MK just confuses me. It feels kind of pieced together instead of planned. . .


I think that is about it.

[xoprincessmomxo]

Test Track was a waste of time for us. My 6 year old loved it...I'm thinking of telling her that they make it go upside down now so she won't want to go on it next time. :idea: (Ok, probably not...but I won't enjoy the wait for it) I also didn't get Mission Space, but I went on the green side with my 6 year old. My husband and Step DD loved it on the orange side.

[Teacher03]

Another vote for Test Track. We've only done it once, and that was enough. We waited forever, partly because the line was sooooooo long and the stupid thing kept breaking down. Glad we did it, but don't want to do it again.

[DisCopper]

There's a bunch of stuff that people love and I "just don't get."

1. Parades. Spectromagic is cool, but the daytime stuff... boring.
2. Pin Trading. I want to be harassed by strangers who want to know about my pins? I want to wear pins? Forget it.
3. Soarin'. It's a nice experience, but NOT worth a long wait. If I can't get a FastPass, forget it.
4. Character Meals. As an adult, I don't want to be bothered when I'm eating.
5. TestTrack. Good for the 10 seconds it moves fast. If it's actually working.
6. Grand Floridian. Beautiful hotel, but NOT the theme for me.
7. On the DisBoards... the abbreviations DD, DS, DH, etc... Gaaaa!!! Too mushy for me!

What I like (that others usually don't):
1. The buses. OK, I don't REALLY like the buses, but they've become a part of Disney for me. It's part of the whole experience.
2. Stitch. The attraction, the (first) movie, and the character.
3. The stuff they do to Spaceship Earth (wands, etc..). I like that they change it up a little (as long as I know that it will eventually go back to normal).

All that said.... what I REALLY like is that there is so much at Disney that everyone (at least all of us here) find stuff that they really love. I don't get the pin trading, but I'm glad Disney is doing something that other peope love. I'm glad they do character meals so the kids (and some big kids) can have a great time.

... And please don't slam me on hating the abbreviations. I'm not really complaining, and not suggesting anyone stop. I'll get over it. HEY! Someone else said they didn't like the Magic Kingdom and you forgave them!

I'm glad to see the thread is still alive!

Discopper, we have much in common. I too was well hyped for Test Track and Soarin', and while they were okay, they didn't live up to the talk. I also don't use the abbreviations, but that's only cause I type incredibly fast (sometimes too fast, which can lead to very strange sentences). I have to say the little emoticons are more distracting, however. I don't like my page "moving", and I like to think (rather arrogantly, I guess) that I'm the one person in the world who can make their tone of voice consistenly understood over the Internet. (Actually, nobody can, so emoticons are probably a good idea.)

When it comes to character meals, as a childless person, I'm not interested. I do find it cool, but odd, that a lot of grown-ups pose with characters and princesses. I'm waaaaay too self conscious to do this.

I'm not crazy about the Sitch ride, it's just okay, but I find the vitriolic hatred of it on these boards amusing and bemusing at the same time.

Not with you on Grand Floridian, though. I love ALL the hotels, really. I'd prompose to my wife that we eventually hit all the major ones, but I know she's into going to WDW that many times.

I forgot to add to my "grumpy meter" by saying that I almost never go to shows (except dinner shows). I particularly don't like anything you attend standing up. So, yeah. Parades, fireworks and shows.

Sheesh. Sounds pretty bad. I guess I'm just far more enamoured of atmosphere and theming than staged entertainment. I love hotels, pavillions, the more ponderous rides, restaurants, etc.

[TangaroaTiki]

The Hoop Dee Doo Revue :confused3

[lilybrooke14]

Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. Ugh. I'm just glad I never have to go on it again.

Pin Trading (I thought some of the pins were cute, but if I buy one, I'm keeping it, and what am I going to do with it anyway?)

In general, we had a lovely vacation and we can't wait to go back....in 2 years. I was ready to go home by the end of the week, and it won't hurt my feelings at all to skip a year in between visits. We'll save up, stay at a nicer resort, and probably be ready to leave by the end of the week then too. I just don't do crowds well. Or other people in general. And as it turns out, there are LOTS of other people at Disney. :rolleyes: I wouldn't want to go back every year, and definately not multiple times in a year. I'd be in a stress coma.:scared:

[Goofy_Girl]

I can honestly say I did like all the parks in WDW for different reasons but my least favorite was Epcot. I loved the World Showcase in Epcot, but other than WS there wasn't much else that made me want to stay there. I didn't like Mission Space or Soarin. Innovations wasn't all that great. Honestly, I had more fun at the Nemo attraction after getting inside and being able to get as close to the dolphins as I did and watching the divers feed the fish tank. I will always go back to Epcot for WS, but as for the other side of the park I barely spent a couple hours before feeling bored.
Oh and I agree with another poster about the stroller nazi's! I cannot count how many of those double wide plastic tubs on wheels clipped my heels or caused me to jump out of the way, makes me often wonder if that's how they drive a car:scared1: Please don't roast me for my thoughts:upsidedow

[shyjade]

DHS - I just don't get the layout, I'm always getting confused and struggling to find my way around, even with maps. And I am normally VERY good with directions, but DHS just drives me NUTS!!! Plus, most of the attractions don't do it for me at all.

Boma - I thought it would be an incredible meal ("to die for") and really, found the food quite disgusting. Even the zebra domes were WAY overrated.

Dole Whips - I love vanilla ice cream and I love pineapple, so I'm still not sure why I didn't "ooh & ahh" over it. But again, I think it was because of all the hype. I plan on trying one again this year to see if I still feel the same way.

[lilybrooke14]

Just a side note, as I do not want to cause a stroller debate (I've seen it happen, it can get ugly). I'll never take one again. It was parked most of the time, and in my effort NOT to clip anyone's heels (and I didn't, not even once :thumbsup2 ) I spent a lot of time not being able to move because people kept walking in front of me. I even had one guy JUMP OVER my stroller:eek: . I. Wanted. To. Punch. Him. Never again. I'd rather carry her.

Oh yeah! Boma for us too. We had breakfast there, but we found Animal Kingdom Lodge dark, close, and generally not as enchanting as the other resorts we saw. The breakfast wasn't anything to write home about either. I'm still vaguely curious about dinner though.

lol I didn't want to say anything because I have seen how heated the debates can be, while certain stroller wielders can be nutso I really think it also has alot to do with the size of the tubs they rent out...lol that's what I started calling them. it's almost like a large completely solid wagon on wheels and I can't imagine it would be easy to navigate through crowds. I'm sorry ppl were rude to you and I would want to punch that guy too!

We ate dinner at Boma and is was bleh!!! I've heard that their breakfast is much better...scary, huh?

[ccmystic16]

I agree about Stitches Escape...it's awful. We did it for the first time 2 years ago and even the kids didn't care for it. Definitely could do something better and different with that space. :goodvibes

[DjdBrit]

Waiting in line for autographs, I would rather do characters at a meal then its done. Even my kids feel the same they didn't want to stand inline they just wanted to run and find something else they could go on. Even if they had to wait to ride, I don't tget this myself I don't know why I feel like this as I want to cry every time I meet Mickey.

[SydneyFalco]

Thank you for pointing this out! I've always been a bit harsh on Hollywood/MGM/Whatever, but this very salient fact never dawned on me.

It IS horrendously laid out. When you think of the other parks--the "hubs" of MK and AK, and the figure 8 of EPCOT--Hollywood/MGM is just a pintless labyrinth. That HAS been bugging me.

[SydneyFalco]

I'm not really sure strollers count as a "popular" part of the Disney experience. They're more in the necessity/utility category.

[Bellechere]

Argh, double posted....

[Bellechere]

This IS a neat thread! You wouldn't usually find people talking about dislikes with such gusto... fabulous!
Reading what people have been mentioning here, I was actually taking nots so I would remember what everyone was thinking. :cutie: so here we go...

My biggest "What were they thinking?" has to be DisneyQuest. Expensive and all VR. Don't get it.

As for some of the others I saw commented upon:
- Tom Sawyer Island: Waste of time and space. Many better things to see and do at the MK.
- Lights, Motors, Action: I will only go to see this again if I want another 2nd degree sunburn. The lack of earplugs and shade really ruined this one for my family and I. (Really a problem as my son LOVES cars of all types)
- Boma: Unless you really enjoy African Fusion cooking, I would never ever bother with this one again. My whole family thought it was awful. Fatty, bone-filled meats, mango chutney as far as the eye could see and way too much "sweet added to savoury" cooking. Blech. :sad2: The only redeeming factor at Boma was the chocolate mousse (with alcohol in it):rolleyes1 , the zebra domes (although they are over-hyped, and the mini phyllo custard/strawberry tartlets.
- Pins: I am a pin collecter, but stumbled on it very differently. Bought my first pins at the "start" of pin trading, the millenium celebration. Each pin as the 2000 logo on the back. Back then it was fun, people all had awesome pins, not the garbage you see in the parks today, and things WERE fun. Not so much any more. With the number of people out to scam others out of large amounts of pins they have become less "Collectors" and more "Pin-Sharks". As for what I do with them, I actually wear mine at work. It is a bit of a dressy place, so I like to show off my different pins on my lapel or whatever I happen to be wearing that day.
- Epcot's one and only parade: Tapestry of Nations. Miss it. A lot.

My only other "complaint" is the whole "dressing up like a princess" thing. Not the fantasy of being a princess, but the "gowns" themselves. Little people wearing revealing clothing is not attractive nor "really" Disney. I would have thought that Disney would have put more thought into the clothing that these little girls all want to wear. (Especially in the case of the "Jasmine" getup). Just my 2 cents.

Hope to keep reading on!

[Disney Crazy Debbie]

I don't like Stitch Escape at MK in Tomorrowland. Forever, I also have to say that while I like AK I find that it's easy to get confused in because there is no major "landmark" that you can see from anywhere in the park.

[valentina]

I'm not into the pins, either. Stitch's Escape is a mess, too. Also - Backlot Tour never did it for me. But other than that, I pretty much love everything else.

[Geef]

I don't understand the "Tomorrowland Indy Speedway". Why wait in line for this. It has no story, it's slow, it's been downsized, it doesn't fit in the Tomorrowland theme... I don't get it?!?:confused3

[DisCopper]

Oh yeah... I forgot about this one. As an adult, I think it's a complete waste of space.

When I was 8.............. I was fighting to get behind the wheel.

[*Seanaci*]

I don't get the Pins either. I have a couple from when we went 5 years ago. They're on a bag I SOMETIMES use. Other than that...I can't think of anythingn off hand that I don't get/don't like.

[roxy83]

What a great idea!!

Things that I don't get:

1) Pin Trading

2) Why all of the rudest people in the world seem to be at WDW when we are there...:confused3

3) That no matter which resort I stay at it seems as though it is always the last stop in the bus terminal. Seriously folks, are you messing with me?

4) Why WDW thinks that it is ok to feed my kid chicken nuggets/hot dogs/ mac and cheese for an entire vacation as part of the kids meal plan.

5) That you MUST decide your ADR's 6 months before your vacation in order to eat at any of the better establishments.

However, having said all of that I keep going back for more. :rotfl:

[robwthomas]

I like collecting pins, but I don't want to trade. I have having to tell little kids no when they want to trade pins. I mean, c'mon. I already feel pathetic enough for being a 26yo guy who collects pins.

[terbethk]

table service meals.

I honestly don't think I've EVER done one.
I can see why people do. But DH and I don't have kids so the characters aren't a huge draw for us and our trips are never long enough that we're willing to take 1-2 hours of perfectly good park time to eat. Plus...we're easy to please and are probably more happy with the qs food offerings anyway.

I also don't get kilamanjaro safari. or most of DAK for that matter...
just not a big fan. I'm going to try to go into it on the next trip with a more open mind, but my first trip there I was just miserable.
and my second trip was a quick in and out w/ only rides on everest and dinosaur. (I think we were in and out in under an hour)

[roxanne_kliebert]

DH and I loved Animal Kingdom. The rides are great and the atmosphere is nice there too. The best thing is the Lion King Festival, that was the best show ever. We were there Oct. 14th and we are still talking about that show.

The one thing we decided to do without it Hollywood Studios. I do believe we will save our money on that one. Not much to do there at all. Only thing right now that I can think of.:rolleyes1

[SydneyFalco]

4) Why WDW thinks that it is ok to feed my kid chicken nuggets/hot dogs/ mac and cheese for an entire vacation as part of the kids meal plan.

I think it's more that they find it CHEAP to feed your kid only that. (Although, to try and be fair, I have a nephew for whom those are, sadly, the staples of his diet.)

[alyssa810]

Mission Space

I'm a TS junkie myself, but I understand people who don't partake in TS's. Especially if they find TS meals too expensive. Likewise, if they're only visiting the parks for a day or two. Only makes sense.

For me Disney is a long flight and a long stay, and I needs me my TS's! (If only cause I need to get off my feet and into a dark place for a couple of hours. I'm really rather envious of people who can "withstand" a park--or two!--all at one go from early morning to late at night. I could never.)

[roxy83]

I understand that. My daughter loves those foods as well. However, I allow her to alternate those foods with other healthier items. I would like to see a salad and grilled chicken on the menu. Also, my dd loves sushi (basic stuff). It would be nice to be able to order a child's sushi plate.:love:

For me Disney is a long flight and a long stay, and I needs me my TS's! (If only cause I need to get off my feet and into a dark place for a couple of hours. I'm really rather envious of people who can "withstand" a park--or two!--all at one go from early morning to late at night. I could never.)

I need my TS as well. Walking alot, making sure everyone gets where they are going and on time. All I want is to get off my feet and be waited on.

[angelegod]

I'm no fan of "it's a small world" and I really loathe the people who are rude enough to book their trips for when I plan to be there. :mad:

When is your next trip so I can plan my honeymoon around it you will see that I set the date for it but I am flexable

[PJAY]

OK, I'll say it..... I don't care for Magic Kingdom. We go there once every time we're at WDW but I think it's out of guilt more then anything else.

There, I said it. I feel better now;)

***Gasp***Sacrilege! :eek:

[Wild4Walt]

Anything Hannah Montana - isn't her 15 minutes up yet????:lmao:

[Pattymouse]

I don't get:

1. Indiana Jones - I saw it once about 15 years ago. Have not been back.

2. Character Meals - dumb

3. Resort hotel towel animals - even dumber

With all that said...I love Disneyworld! :love:

Pat

[WallE]

For us, I think the endless autograph lines. I could see one or two, but we kinda see it as wasted time in the parks.

[angelegod]

Anything Hannah Montana - isn't her 15 minutes up yet????:lmao:

realy I love hannah montana and signing with her and her friends

[Luv Bunnies]

I just don't get the whole character autograph thing. And yes, I have kids and they don't get it either. My younger son does like meeting the characters and getting his picture taken, but we rarely do it because of the horrendous lines. It takes a long time for a person wearing furry gloves and with limited vision to grip and pen and sign a book. It really slows the lines down considerably. My son only visits with the characters at meals or when he happens to see one with no line (rarely, but sometimes at Disneyland).

Call me an anarchist, but I think autographs should be banned. They should sell autograph books that have pre-printed signatures for each character and a space to put a picture.

[PrincessTiffany]

Stitch's Great Escape is the only thing I truly dislike at WDW.

[roxy83]

Call me an anarchist, but I think autographs should be banned. They should sell autograph books that have pre-printed signatures for each character and a space to put a picture.


Now that's a great idea!! I would love to pick up an autograph book and just insert my pictures. :worship:

[angelegod]

Now that's a great idea!! I would love to pick up an autograph book and just insert my pictures. :worship:

I have to say I love that idea as well that way it goes by faster and more personalized

[FindTheMickeys]

Well, I've tried AK twice and wasn't impressed and I don't know if I'll visit Hollywood Studios again either... Although, I'm taking my brother and his family next year and none of them have been. They might talk me into Hollywood, but they can do AK on thier own...Parades are good for shortening the ride lines and I watch the fireworks as I wander towards the bus stop so that I can get out of the parks and on a bus before the parks empty out :lmao:

[kimis]

My dh doesn't care for parades or fireworks (he would rather be on rides) and I am not thrilled with the Stitch Escape ride.

[BeckieSue]

Parades and Fireworks....you've seen one, you've seen them all.:eek:

[drag n' fly]

Fantasmic at WDW. I was really disappointed with this. The one at Disneyland is far superior.:thumbsup2

[TagsMissy]

Most parades and Soarin

[robwthomas]

I must suck, or something. I love the parades, Wishes is the most amazing thing I've ever seen, Soarin' is my favorite ride at Epcot and I thought Fantasmic at DHS blew Disneyland's out of the water. Then again, I also love Carousel of Progress and Country Bear Jamboree...

I dislike the Stitch ride, though. I liked Alien Encounters much better.

[mollyseven]

Stitch ride has gotta go....really not good.
Movie ride, so done with that...I hear they are re-doing it in the new year though so maybe it will be better. I guess the first time was good but not the kind of thing you want to do twice.
Hoopdedoo....wow really disliked that one. Too much like hee haw for me, and loud and food was gross.
yeah, o.k nice I know but hey....I love everything else!

[LucyDingo]

Things that don't do it for me...

Space Mountain. (Awful ride. The one at Disneyland is a zillion times better!)

Character autographs. Even as a child, I would not have been into them.

The dining plan. We ran the numbers before our last trip and it was much cheaper to NOT use the dining plan. Besides, I can't imagine eating THAT much food. Eek!

Priority seating. So dumb. We pretty much stick to counter service. Having to make "reservations" just isn't for me. I never know what time I'll want to eat. Or what I'll be in the mood for. We don't even know which park we'll be in on each day.

[lovetoscrap]

This is probably better suited for the Theme Parks Community board so I am going to move it over there.

[StephaBabe50]

Anything Hannah Montana - isn't her 15 minutes up yet????:lmao:

Agreed!
Another thing I cant stand is everywhere I turn seeing something having to do with High School Musical:headache:

[ppan77]

I am going to hear it for saying this one but for now it has to be EPCOT! We have children under 3 and it is just not for us ....right now. My ds3 can actually ride TT and Soarin this year but not sure he would like it. We are going to skip Epcot altogether this trip. Sit down meals, lack of preschool age rides, and world showcase are not for us...maybe when kids are older.:confused3

[Belle_princess]

I have to agree with the others- Stitch's Great Escape has to go. Stitch (and other characters from that movie) have so much potential. Why dumb it down?? So sad.

I'm sure DH would have other thoughts, but I liked everything else. However, there is little Disney can do that I don't like.

(I'm stalling to post because I feel there was something else the last time, but I don't remember now what it was!)

Just a thought: Dh and I LOVEd TS restaurants! It was a serious highlight in our vaca. I say those need to stay! :)

[AliceinHalloweentown]

Mickey's Philharmagic...
it was a cute show and all, but in the end, not much more than that.

[JenAusty]

I don't like the pin thing either.. I mean I like the pins-they are cute. but I don't care about collecting them or swapping them.. its not important to me. My DH and I recieved two pins for free one trip and I kept those.. but thats it.

I also don't care for Hollywood Studios.. there are a few things I like to do there- but never spend more than a half a day there..

I don't like ASSports hotel!:sad2:

I don't like Mission Space ride.. it made me sick and I usually don't get sick. I haven't tried the new "moderately" version and to be honest- I don't have an interest to. I'm also to scared to try Tower of Terror.. I think its cool but I don't like the whole "stomach to my throat" feeling and idk if its as intense as other drop or up rides.. like ones at cedar point or other parks- that drop. But thats not my thing. I just want to walk through it and leave.. hehe :lmao:

[mhalpern]

My kids LOVE autographs and pin trading. Sometimes I think all we need is a big tent with characters and cast members with lanyards and they'd be happy. The attractions just get in the way.:rotfl:

For me I think Jungle Cruise is seriously in need of an overhaul. Also I don't get the Haunted Mansion. I think I liked it more before the renovations. Now it seems too dark.

[marielynn724]

I was talking recently with a fellow Disney traveler, and when I confessed that I took my time in the parks, and didn't always stay for the full day, she was aghast. Then she told me about collecting pins, and also raved about the fireworks. I told her I didn't "get" the pins and that I didn't like fireworks (or parades).

(The fireworks thing really gets on my wife's nerves. She LOVES them. I'd rather go back to the hotel for a late swim.)

What little aspect of the Worlds can you just not "get into", for whatever reason?


i have to admit i'm not into pins either, and i really don't like the parades. i'd rather be riding attractions with short lines while everyone else is watching the parades!

[teacup princess]

Here's my list:

pin trading... nuff said on this topic already

Epcot World Showcase... I feel like we're walking forever to go nowhere

Overpriced t-shirts that I could get for $5 at home and

Crazy hats... why would I spend tons of $$$$ on some dumb hat I'd never be caught dead in out in public at home

Turkey legs :crazy2:

That's it. Everything else I love.

[angelat]

My DH and I aren"t crazy about Soarin'. I know everyone just LOVES it, but I thought the video was a little choppy and not very seamless. i've been in IMAX theaters and had a better experience. We waited for 2 hours because everyone we came in contact with said we HAD to try it. I just don't see it. :confused3

[TDC Nala]

I don't like Dole Whips or Zebra Domes.

and the only thing I ever notice about the parades now is that they block the street, so I'd better be on the side I want to be on. :confused3

[LucyDingo]

What is a zebra dome?

I've never had a dole whip but they seem like they'd be way too sweet.

[TDC Nala]

A zebra dome is a chocolate and coffee mousse dessert they like to serve at AKL.

I don't like coffee, so I don't eat them.

[eagillinois]

My list:
Autographs (WHY????)
Pins
Parades
:goodvibes

[lacrosse_lady72]

I have never been into pin trading, only pin collecting.

I don't understand parades... any of them including non-Disney ones. They bore me, I'd rather be doing something else.

Ew.... Space Mountain is an awful ride for me. It's lame and it's obvious that it's OOOOLLLLLLLDDDDDDDD as dirt and need some upgrading- that's why I dislike it.

Why anyone spends so much time at the resort. I am not going to pay all this money go to swim in a pool or to lay around my resort. I'm paying to enjoy the parks. But I guess that's why I never go to Hawaii... or Aruba... or whereever really, I couldn't stand just lying around, I can relax at home for free.

[lacrosse_lady72]

I like Soarin' but I definitely am bothered by the choppiness of the ride as well... it drives me nuts. But the ride is still fun enough for me to go but I would never wait more than 30 minutes.

[Metro West]

I have never been into pin trading, only pin collecting. I don't trade or collect...I decided a long time ago that I wasn't going to get into that whole thing and I haven't. :thumbsup2

[twinklebug]

Realizing these are resort oriented vs theme park oriented, I still feel they apply...

The Poly and the Contemporary. Both are "Meh?" :confused3 to me. :rotfl:

I also can't get into the value resorts... just not my style.

Have you done Space Mountain at Disneyland before?

[Jessfrogger88]

I don't really "get" the love for the busses... I ride public transportation every day to work and I find the disney busses much more uncomfortable, stressful and ackward than the regular busses.

I didn't mind using them this time when we stayed deluxe... but I would never use them at a value resort or mod unless we had too... Have you seen those lines? It's just always ackward too... the strollers... the sleeping children, the old people... the criers, the whiners, the fighters.... I find it much more peaceful just to drive... and I don't think the traffic on property is ever that bad.

[OK!]

I am so not a parade person. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy seeing the really special or unique ones (e.g. Spectro or the Main St. Electrical Parade when it was still around) at least once, but the everyday normal parades are pretty much nothing more than an impediment to my getting to where I want to go in that park at that time. I was ready to snap on Sat. night, Dec. 6, in the MK because not only did I have to deal with Spectro crowds, but then once I finally worked my way all the way around the perimeter of the park to get close to where I wanted to be (near POTC) the blasted parade broke down, so I had to stand there on already-aching feet for another 10 minutes while they got out the tractors to tow the remaining floats away.

I'm also not a big character girl. I mean, for kids and all they're super, but as an adult, I'd kinda rather they just leave me alone and save up the magic for those who really want to share in it. :goodvibes

[OK!]

Oh, and I'm also not so much into pools anymore. I think it probably stems from my having been a competitive swimmer for more than 20 years, but to me a pool is a pool is a pool, and I've spent waaaaaay too much of my life in them already to go out of my way to hit even more of them. ;) Stormalong Bay's a bit different because of the current and the sand bottom; I can hang out in it for a bit and not be bored, but I'd rather sightsee or go to a park than make a special effort to go to "normal" pools.

Water parks, on the other hand, are a whole other ball of wax. I love me a good water park. :thumbsup2

[jandmsmom]

I'll be there in 2 wks but mine are:

At DHS when you leave muppet land and end up in an empty city, wander deserted streets trying to get out and no vendors to sell you anything to drink before you drop from heat stroke and find your way back to civilization.:confused3

Pin trading..kids had to have them, after 30 mins in the park I'm carrying them:headache: I don't bring them anymore.

Don't care for the parades but even less for the massive exodus after the parade. Sometimes you just have to back flat up against a wall and hang on for dear life:laughing:

[GvilleDisneyDad]

I never got the pin thing either.

[newmom7601]

I have a list:The American Pavillion at Epcot, Great Movie Ride (a snore), TEA CUPS--hate it, Indiana Jones, Illuminations; I guess I'm just tired of it by now.

[njprincess601]

my list:

1. AKL (and the YC and BC for that matter): why would people pay so much money to stay there when you can stay at the Contemporary or Poly for the same price and have the monorail.
2. Boma: before our trip, everyone was raving about this, and it was our least favorite meal of the trip.
3. World Showcase: i don't understand it. very boring to me
4. Soarin: again, people kept telling us how great this was so we stood in line for close to an hour at 11pm and i just don't get it. its a good ride, but why people wait 2 hours for it is beyond me.
5. PETER PAN: this is a big one for me, i don't understand why people are willing to wait any more than 10 minutes for that ride.
6. little kids dressed up in princess dresses. they are 60 dollars!! not worth it.
7. MVMCP: had the highest expectations for this, and disney let us down. (granted it was raining and they canceled the 1/2 the shows and the parade)
8. the nemo show at AK: i fell asleep.

however, i LOVE the parades and fireworks. but i don't line up an hour before. also, people may yell at me for this, but i like Illuminations a lot more than Wishes.

[Writersblock15]

I agree about the parades

[PK Disney Dork]

1)Any of the films in World Showcase-I'm sorry, I'm sure the films are informative...but I can just think of a mountain of better things to do rather than watch these things!
2)Turkey Legs-I used to be a fan. No more. We always go in the summer and for some reason the idea of toting around a huge steaming leg of meat to gnaw on simply isn't appealing.
3)Star Tours-Why would I want to sit in an attraction that's just going to make me :sick:
4)Waiting in long lines for characters-If there's no wait or a small one...fine. But I'm simply not going to wait forever in a line to spend a few brief seconds with a character.

[luvindis]

Don't beat up on me but here are a few of mine:

Don't get laying by the pool all day; I'm in Disney::MickeyMo
Don't get BIG kids in strollers, no offense, just don't get it:confused3
One more thing I wouldn't do personally, bring newborn to parks all day:confused:

No offense to anyone who does these just not my cup of tea:drinking:

[LucyDingo]

Big kids in strollers kills me. We always laugh when we see it. I don't understand it at all.

When I was 7, I was at WDW all day long for a few days and did just fine without a stroller. And my cousin was 4 and she did fine without one too. And this was during the hot, hot summer.

[dementia412]

I'll try not to be all offensive so won't go into these too much, but...

IllumiNations ... I don't get it, it was boring
Pins
Signatures ... from some CM in a Tigger suit :confused3
BBB ... especially that ugly as sin sash
Giant strollers and older kids in strollers
The Carrousel of Time or what ever its called ... booooring
Everest, Space Mountain and RRC... no interest at all

I do like a parade but I don't need one or two every day, and we spent a lot of time at the pool probably because we don't get to one around here. In fact, that is what my kids look forward to more than anything. :confused3

[xoprincessmomxo]

however, i LOVE the parades and fireworks. but i don't line up an hour before. also, people may yell at me for this, but i like Illuminations a lot more than Wishes.

Me, too! Love Illuminations. Wishes was ok, but for my hubby and I it was a cold, icy slushy margarita in Mexico, the crazy world music, the torches, and Illuminations that is one of our favorite memories! :thumbsup2

[Disneylover:)]

I don't get Soarin. I mean, its really cool and all, but its not the BEST thing in Epcot.

[GrumpyBelle]

Two things I don't get
1.) The carnival setup in dinoland at AK.
2.) Tom Sawyer Island in MK

[tracirae1105]

Both DBF and I can't stand Dole Whips!!

[kadesha]

1) The Dole Whip
2) DHS--all of it.

[PK Disney Dork]

Both DBF and I can't stand Dole Whips!!

BLASPHEMY!!!

[Winue]

Didn't care for animal kingdom. The nemo and lion king shows were great, but thats where it ended for us. seems like such a huge place with nothing really there. maybe if my DS met more of the height limits, it would have been better, but when you have small kids, not much to do. May skip it all together in May, or just go for the shows one day.

[Winue]

Oh, have to add... we are trying to currently plan a trip with family, 14 of us all together. All people are worried about is wanting it hot for swimming. To me, I just don't understand it because to go to Disney, is to GO TO DISNEY, not swim in pools the whole time. So pools are another thing that are there as a bonus, but I could do without.

[JenAusty]

yeah- but what about the waterparks?!! and you have to think.. down time at the hotel is much needed at times especially when theres a big group going.. hotel pools are an easy place to let kids play.. while adults relax!

[JenAusty]

I just thought of another one.. The adventures of winnie the pooh ride.. when DH and I rode this.. we were like WTheck is going on.. he said it was too psychedelic for him... it was just weird.. I love WTP but didn't like that at all!

[Kimi313]

There are rides and attractions that I don't do every trip but the one thing I have done once, then watched it again, and it just doesn't do anything for me is Illuminations. I don't know why but I have never enjoyed it. Plus I have never gone to the waterparks, we do go to the pool a couple of times during our trip but not the waterpark. The reasoning is we have a nice waterpark here in town the I use to always go to and we have visited the waterpark at the beach a few times so when I am at disney that is not high on my list of things to do, even though I am sure I would enjoy it if I ever went. :flower3:

[jimmalru80]

We have not seen an afternoon parade in eleven previous WDW trips. I really can't recall ever being in a WDW park at 3:00pm as we are always back at our resort. So that also cuts out touring the parks "commando" style for us.

[DisneyHolidayFan]

Both DBF and I can't stand Dole Whips!!

I couldn't wait to get back and have another Dole Whip Float. Well, what a disappointment!! The juice was warm and absolutely wrecked the taste of the float. It was wonderful the first time but horrible this trip. Maybe you just had a fluke one like I did!!!!

[LucyDingo]

Ohh. I want to add that to my list...
Commando style touring. It just doesn't seem like much fun to me. We took WDW trips with extended family when I was young. My family toured in a laid back style. My aunt/uncle/cousins did commando style. Every meal and every ride planned out. My cousins make comments about how awful it was...haha.

[savvy?71]

I feel like a great weight has been lifted off of my shoulders!

Others don't like/get pins! :worship:

Others don't like/get parades?! :faint:

Others don't like/get fireworks?!?! :love:

Others don't like/get autographs?!?!?!?! :hyper2:

Further, I was done with Hanna Montana before I even started. And it figures that no matter WHEN I seem to enter DHS, that dang HSM float is right there to greet me :crazy2:

Dare I agree with a PP--I am also befuddled about little girls in all the princess gowns, make up, heels, etc :confused3 . I love to see the little girls being little girls! (though I caved and bought my 3yr old a Belle dress at half price at TJ Maxx--but that's it!)

Disclaimer on the Fireworks: I like them from a distance, so I enjoyed watching them from our Bonnet Creek suite balcony. It's a noise thing for me, and my toddlers aren't into them at all *yet*

Disclaimer on the Parades: If I happen to be in the right place at the right time for a parade, I'll check it out. I am just not one to tape off a section of side walk an hour before one starts ;)

[savvy?71]

One more!

Photopass. Tried it. Very disappointing.

I think I have become spoiled with our Nikon and just prefer (and enjoy) taking my own pics. I am not an expert in the field of photography, but I seem to get the shots I want plus the quality I want.

The Photopass details which you can add to pics can be cute, but (obviously imo), not worth it. I do a lot of my own matting and framing and have become a stickler with my own way of doing it, cute little Tinkerbelles in the corner or not ;)

[LucyDingo]

Oh....another one....the cheesy photos the photopass people take. You know, the ones where they add in Tinkerbell and other Disney characters. Those are just a little too cheesy for me.

I can't remember if I said it earlier or not...but I don't like the dining plan either.

[mainegal]

Wow! What an interesting discussion on a site full of Disney fans. Put all your dislikes together and I wonder why you would ever go to WDW at all.

I am not a frequent visitor to the parks. Before a week in early December, previous trips were two years ago and thirty-three years ago. I enjoyed just about everything.

[A_NY_Outlaw]

For me, it's the Epcot festivals- Food & Wine festival or the Flower & Garden Festival. Been to both during the last few years (F&W fest 2x).
I can see why with the wine fest- since I'm not big into wine, but I am EXTREMELEY pickey when it comes to food.

The F&G festival is nice, and I even ocassionaly will plant flowers at home (of course under the direction of DW), but neither one is a draw for me.

As for WDW attractions- it's the bird exhibit at AK and Indy Speedway at MK.....they ought to scrap that ride and put something new and exciting in it's place- this is a ride you can go on at any local theme park.

[goofy4prez]

For me the list of what really don't float my boat at WDW is.

Parades.(can't stand being packed elbow to elbow in 95 degree heat next to someone who forgot their deodorant)

Honey I shrunk the audience. (The endless wait to get in the theatre with the 20 min. Kodak commercial.)

Kali River Rapids(I was waiting for it to do so much more, and didn't)

Kilimanjaro Safaris( I know I'm a minority here but did nothing for me. And yes, I do like animals).

50's Prime Time Diner. The atmospher was fun but the meatloaf and the pot roast left me wondering why do people get excited about this place?)

[bytheblood]

Parades are something I cannot get into. SPectromagic is a must-see, but I do not care for the rest of them. Too many rude people and for me, it is not worth the hassle.

[Kumquatmelon]

Honestly, I'm not that big into Animal Kingdom. We always go when I'm with my family, but we go for maybe half a day, then go back to the resort and take and nap, swim, and then go back to Epcot or Magic Kingdom that night. It just isn't our thing really.
And, I care for the pins, and I like them. But, they are so expensive I just don't waste my time.

[redrosesix]

Tomorrowland Indy Speedway doesn't fit into the Magic Kingdom in any way, takes up too much space, and creates exhaust fumes and noise - it only takes away from the Tomorrowland experience - ironically Tomorrowland is our favourite part of Magic Kingdom. Move it over to Wide World of Sports - they have nothing there except vacant land. And while you're at it, move the Richard Petty Speedway there too. It always strikes me as weird that there is a rusty chain link fence enclosure in the middle of the parking lot - the first thing you see as you're on your way to the park. Why the heck did they put it there? It makes no sense. :confused3

And the pin thing? Why would I spend time and money picking out a pin just to trade it away? I just don't get it. :rolleyes1

[pattirjs925]

Pin trading, great way for people (especially kids) to strike up a conversation with someone! Also, great way for Disney to make moey, selling all these pins!

Kali Rivers...I just kept waiting for something exciting to happen, and waiting and waiting.

[leeh1530]

COP -- I know, I know, I'm one of not many. But my friend and I were looking for a way to claw our way out of that attraction. WE WERE TRAPPED!!!!!!!

Pin trading -- OK, I do buy pins, but for crying out loud, if I pay for a pin, I sure don't wanna give it to someone else!!!! I bought it because I liked it.

Movie ride -- Overhaul time. I mean, when I can spot cobwebs on Gene Kelly, we have problems.

Swiss Family Tree House -- I climbed up 80 flights of stairs for THIS?

Tiki Lounge -- I was counting the minutes .....

Muppets -- I mean, I grew up loving the Muppets and still do, but I have seen the same show OVER and OVER and OVER again. I can quote it.

World of Disney -- Yes, I love shopping and getting lost in a store.

[goofy4prez]

Kali Rivers...I just kept waiting for something exciting to happen, and waiting and waiting.

I"m with you on that . It was nothing more than a lazy river ride that occassionaly turned into a falls of water just to get you wet. Unless it's 90 degree's when I"m down there in January it's a ride that I'll pass on.

[Jessfrogger88]

I third Kali River Rapids!!!

I have only ridden it once... The standby line was like 50 minutes, but we had fast passes. Good Thing!!! The ride was literally like 2 minutes long... IF I would have waited 50 minutes for it I probably would have been pretty miserable... It was the most boring raft ride I have ever been on... As the PP has said it's more like a lazy river than a rapids ride... I don't even think I got a drop on me... The initial hill you go down is cool, but that is where it ends.... There is nothing to see but ugly giant burning trees which make you really hot...

The rapids ride at our local amusement park here is 10x better and it had no theming.

Popeyes at IOA blows this out of the water...

I just find it dissapointing because there is so much potential for a ride like this! It could have been soooooo much better...

I'm not a fan of:

Lights, Motor, Action - DH loves it though, so DD and I ride rides while he goes

Indiana Jones

Fast Track

Parades - I like them, but I don't necessarily like lining up 30 min-1 hr before they start. If I happen to catch them, or actually need a bit of "sit time", then I'll watch them

BLASPHEMY!!!

:laughing: My apologies!

I couldn't wait to get back and have another Dole Whip Float. Well, what a disappointment!! The juice was warm and absolutely wrecked the taste of the float. It was wonderful the first time but horrible this trip. Maybe you just had a fluke one like I did!!!!

I didn't mind the whole somewhat warm/melting everywhere thing (its Florida, we expect melty ice cream!), we just thought they were WAY too sweet. I'm a big dessert fan, but neither one of us could finish these without going into a sugar coma!

I've never gotten into the events/parades after park hours. (Pirates & princess Party, etc)

I don't get into the fireworks, though they are good fireworks. By the end of the day at WDW, I am running on fumes and can't handle them.

That said, I'm going to be there 1/16-1/19!!! And I'll probably watch the fireworks.

For me its those turkey legs. I just don't get knawing on a leg of some creature while you walk about. :confused:

Parades are something that I don't go out of my way to see. Mostly I had the waiting an hour before it starts and when it ends, the crush of the crowd all trying to disburse.

I understand why people do it, but for me, the whole planning out the order of the rides they go on, which CS they will eat at and what they will have doesn't work for me. I like a general plan of what park what day and where we are intending to have dinner, but anymore then that is too much for me while on vacation!

There was so much hype about the fireworks at MNSSHP. I made a big thing about getting to see them and then, eh, just another fireworks show. They are pretty and all, but I prefer viewing them as I walk to another attraction :thumbsup2

Good grief, I second the turkey leg mystery *shudder*

I also second hard ticket events :confused3.

Hmm...this is my 3rd or 4th post in this thread. Eventually I will get to the point where suspect I only go to Florida to eat at Chik-Fil-A :rolleyes:

I"m with you on that . It was nothing more than a lazy river ride that occassionaly turned into a falls of water just to get you wet. Unless it's 90 degree's when I"m down there in January it's a ride that I'll pass on.

Same here. A lazy Kali River ride. :sad2: Also the parades, I love watching it, but I don't want to wait an hour before it starts, maybe I'll go shopping :rotfl:
