In your opinion what is the most overrated thing in WDW?

[Shandy1121]

Animal Kingdom... All of it...Just an expensive, hot zoo to me . Now, with Avatar land it's even busier with plastic glow in the dark scenery. (I've heard some good reviews of the ride but not enough to make me spend the day in the park lol!). I just always refuse to go to that park. Just me and my families opinion

Edit : UPDATE: I was WRONG I've been to Animal Kingdom since this was posted and I actually loved it and Avatar Land and Flight of Passage LOL! I'm mature enough to admit I was so wrong

All Disney TS dining but especially the most sought after ADRs. There are some fun and interesting places to eat but they are overpriced by about 50% and none of them would make or break my vacation. It pains me to hear people distraught over not getting BOG or Ohana or whatever. They are ok but you're not really missing that much.

Interesting how opinions can be so different. I am so in love with AK. I could spend days in the park without riding anything. Just walk and sit and listen and observe and eat.

I LOVE that episode. Best Brady ever. So want to stay at the Poly now.

Okay - so now we are going to need to thread about which Brady Bunch episode was the best.

Figment. I find the whole ride a little creep.

Carousel of Progress-never again.
Monorail hotels-price is not worth it.
School bread-just yuk>

We tried to talk her in to buying gift cards to pay for meals, especially when on sale at Costco and such but she just insisted it was easier to do the plan. Feeling compelled to eat dessert at every single table service meal is why I gain weight each trip even though I walk more than 10 miles a day easily.

My husband (who is usually a bit more frugal) also insists on having everything paid up front. I'm getting gift cards up front to pay for the trip, and could easily get extra to cover the food that will be much less than a dining plan. Especially since no one in our 4 party group eats very much, especially my 80 year of mother. C'est la vie!

In order to be overrated it has to be something that the majority likes but you dislike, right? So who said 60 min waits are overrated? Does anyone actually like those? I guess maybe I'll have to read back to understand how that made the list cause I don't get it

It was rides with 60 min waits. Not the wait itself. If people routinely wait in >60 min lines, people must think the rides are worth it. I don't think they are worth it, thus, they are overrated.

The Kings Island episode, of course.

I thought I was going to take a lot of heat for this, but then I saw it mentioned many times here...Dole Whips! I love pineapple actually, but no matter how many times I try it, I cannot get into it. I'm also not an Illuminations fan. We will stop and watch it if it's going on, but we don't actively plan to see it.

The Kings Island episode, of course.

The Kings Island episode, of course.

My wife and I love talking about how Mrs. Brady ran 5 seconds with the construction plans and took all the credit because she gave them to Mike in the nick of time.

SDMT.

It's a kiddy coaster. A well themed kiddy coaster, but a kiddy coaster nonetheless.

I just can't wrap my head around the massive waits for the ride, or paying for a special breakfast so you can get a ride or two on it before the crowds arrive.

Not saying it's a bad ride or that I hate it (looking at you IASW), just that I don't see it as the greatest thing since sliced bread, as many, many others do.

I think it's that whole "It's busy so it must be good" sociology paradigm. In order to experience it without hassle, you have to jump on the FP+ train or it's not worth the time. It's an interesting dynamic, for sure.

I feel like I know what I'm getting myself into come September but I will say it's still a relatively new ride considering WDW as it is now. That may be part of the reason too. It's just over 3 years old but you've got plenty of people (myself included) that haven't been to WDW in the last 3 years to even experience it. FEA is like that too. It's only been open 1 year today actually.

If you look at Peter Pan I think there it's the nostalgic factor working rather than the newness factor since that has been there for a while.

I just got a dinner reservation yesterday and my kids are psyched (they loved the movie). Personally I'm going into it with my expectations well managed.

I think as long as you manage your expectations better than I did, you'll be ok The ambience was great, the food fair but for the the price? It just did not live up to my expectations - and to be fair I might have just been expecting too much. It's just so hyped, I was expecting it to be a highlight and it just wasn't for me. YMMV though and I hope it does!

This is more the norm than the exception. I know there are a lot of people on here that live in FL or vacation there once, twice, thrice a year, but the majority do a place less frequently. Enough time for there to be a swath of new stuff to do. I'm looking forward to SDMT and FEA. It's been a few years for our family.

Peter Pan. We always ride when we're in DL or WDW because its a classic, but for me it just isn't that remarkably different from other classic dark rides that don't draw the same crazy wait times.

Also, the Contemporary. I was excited to see it because it seems like so many people love it, but I felt like I was in an airport. Didn't get it at all.

Something that I find a tad confusing, though I'm not sure I can use the word overrated because I do see it's appeal, just not to the extent to match it's wait. Even though it's waits have dropped with the New Fantasy Land changes, Dumbo. That thing had excessive waits before it got doubled. Yet Aladdin never has. Or even Triceratops Spin. What made Dumbo different?
