I jsut got back. Normally, I dont go to AK. Since Everest had opened though, I had to go. I have been to DWD around 11 times, and that was only my 3rd time in AK. I didn't relize how much I hated the place till I went back. I know I'm being a lil whiney but heres some of my reasons:
The size. The park itself is soooo freakin huge,it takes for ever to get from one place to another. It's like you just keep walking and walking and walking.
The heat. In all three times that I've goneto AK it has always been really hot. And othere people that have been there agree. It might not be very hot in other parks, but it always seems to be in AK.
The tight spaces. Even though AK is Disney's largest park. I think its the most crowded, and not just with people, but trees, and strolers, and other stuff like that. I know that it's an animal freindly park, but theres just waaay too many trees. It makes the park seem so crowded. And you most of the attractions you cant see unless your like 5 yards infront of them, because all the trees are in the way. Wich makes it twice as ahrd to get lost.
The Tree of Life. Its a really cool structure. But one thing doesnt make sence to me. The Tree of Life is the AK logo, right? So why can't you see it from any where??? The only time you can see it is when you're near it. You can see Cinderella's Castle from just about anywhere in MK, you can see Spaceship Earth from just about anywhere in Epcot, and you can see both the water tower and the hat from just about anywhere in MGM.
The stolers. Is it just me, or does AK always seem to have strollers just sitting in random places? I never notice this in any of the other parks
.
Now don't get me wrong. I think all of AK's attractions are great. Everest is so awsome, and I love Dinasour. But I just hate to go to AK because I'm all wore out after I've been in there for about 10 minutes. I don't think Ak's problem is that there isn't enough attractions, I think it's problem is jsut the ways it's set up. I know the Imagineers have put soo much work into the park, but really i think if they would just adjust it's lay out and some of the other stuff a bit, it would be alot better.
I know I'm being a lil picky, but thats how I see it. Any comments?

) I will agree with the previous poster that alot of the appeal is in the experience not just the rides. I also think they have some of the coolest shows (festival of the Lion King, Tarzan rocks) They also have some really cool performers walking around the park. Has anyone checked out "Devine", the lady who walks around looking exactly like a tree vine?
