What to avoid - The DIS Discussion Forums

mjmselby · 09-11-2009, 01:58 PM

I love all the tips about things everyone loves at WDW, but are there any things you wish you would have skipped...food, snacks, rides, attractions? Something that your little ones were scared of?

RMAMom · 09-11-2009, 02:27 PM

Of all the trips the only thing I regret is the Luau at the Polynesian. The show was bad and the food was average.

It is all up to personal preference but our family would have skipped the luau. It was too long for us and didn't hold the interest with the hokey storyline. I would have rather seen the dancers, listen to the music and see the fire dancers without the story.

Wow! We must have been reading each other's minds!

Well, I am sure if I didn't tell my niece about the POC and Haunted Mansion, she may not have liked it, however, she loved them both and we did both several times

The Carousel of Progress. I know some people really love this, but we got stuck on it for over an hour and I don't ever want to hear that song again!

Stitch's Great Escape in MK. We all disliked it very much.

When our daughter was six, we took her on test track the first morning of our vacation. She said she did not want to do it, but she reluctantly agreed to try it. It was too much for her and she was scared of everything else all week. Start with the small juvenile stuff first and work your way up the thrill ladder if your kid is timid about the rides.

Thirded! Such a disappointment, especially if you ever saw Alien Encounter before it.

BridgetBordeaux · 09-11-2009, 07:55 PM

We were always too scared to try Alien Encounter in the good ole' days

starann · 09-11-2009, 08:14 PM

We like Fantasmic, but my kids were SCARED! We went twice...they were 1 and 2 and cried and then again when they were 3 and 4 adn they were still scared!

roberta · 09-11-2009, 10:58 PM

Thanks for the info on Fantasmic.

For me it would be the swiss family tree house.....yuck!

Of course it's all personal preference. We generally avoid:
The Coral Reef
Chef Mickey's for breakfast
Stitch's Great Escape
