Marathon Weekend 2019

[rteetz]

Overrated Show: Country Bear Jamboree (old & stale. I mean, there’s not even a panda!)

Woah you just crossed a line buddy! First you call out Tiffins but then you call out Country Bears?!?!? What is going on?!

 

[lhermiston]

After @Keels throws a thing at @Dis_Yoda , I will pick the thing up and throw it at @lhermiston for saying tikibirds is overrated!

It's underrated!!!! It's a treasure!!! It's corny and dorky and perfect

Ok back to the question at hand..

Overrated ride: rock n roller coaster
Underrated peoplemover

Overrated resort: ??? I think most all dis resorts are more expensive than they should be, but I LOVE them and I get it. Soooo I dunno???
Underrated: renting condos with pools in the backyard

Overrated restaurant: chefs de France
Underrated: skippers canteen

Overrated: running double digit miles on a Sunday morning. (In regards to me about to run today....not the dis marathon)

I would just like to point out that Enchanted Tiki Room is not a ride...

Overrated attraction: Peter Pan, and Soarin
Overrated restaurant: Be Our Guest
Overrated Show: Fantasmic
Overrated hotel: there are all great in their own ways...

I will also throw things at @Dis_Yoda with @Keels.

Ride, attraction, whatever...it’s a waste of space.

Not much else you could really put in that space. Also it’s a Walt original. Only two attractions in WDW have Walt’s name on them. Not trying to change you’re mind just pointing out facts. It’s not a favorite of mine by any means but I’d hate to see it go.

You could convert it into a character meet-and-greet spot.

SAFD: overrated....I still enjoy these items on my list, but they are never my first choice.

• Ride - Soarin’
• Restaurant - Be Our Guest
• Resort - Polynesian
• Show - Fantasmic

I’m in agreement on Soarin, Be Our Guest, and Fantasmic.

As for hotel, Coronado Springs (pre-construction). I wasn’t wowed by the extra amenities over Pop Century, and to be honest, I haven’t been able justify the cost of any deluxe properties in the past few years either. I used to think they were worth it, but this is where I am based on income and vacationing style.

I’d rather not have that but that’s just me.

Overrated Attraction: Navi River Journey
Overrated Restaurant: Narcoossee’s, Artist Point would still be #1 overrated for me if it wasn’t going away
Overrated Hotel: Contemporary (but I love Cali Grill and the lounge at The Wave)
Overrated Show: Whatever the stage show is at Very Merry

 

[rteetz]

Whatever the stage show is at Very Merry

Ugh that stupid song with Daisy texting Donald...

 

[camaker]

Overrated: running double digit miles on a Sunday morning. (In regards to me about to run today....not the dis marathon)

Trust me, it could be worse. My last really long run was due yesterday. After two days of being stuck inside, I went ahead and ran my 16 in the wind and rain from Florence. At least I know I’m ready if the weather turns wet for Chicago...

Overrated-
Ride - Big Thunder Mountain (its good but not all that)
Show - Fantasmic
Resort - Polynesian (maybe it's just because of the lousy, cold weather we had while staying here)
Restaurant - Be Our Guest

But it’s fun

If I have enough mimosas at Cali Grill, I may go over there.

I may also last five minutes and bounce right back to the Contemporary.

IMO, only because Disneyland is a better, more complete park. I say this as an east coaster who grew up going to WDW.

Yep, you’re right. We can’t be friends.

Ugh.

Overrated attraction: Test Track. Usually ride it, but wouldn’t miss it.

Overrated restaurant: Tiffins. Food was pretty good, but more form over substance. Immediately went to Tamu Tamu for dessert. You can judge me.

Overrated hotel: Grand Floridian

 

[Disneyslowrunner]

Overrated Ride: I pretty much like all of them. Unlike others, Peter Pan is one of my favorites and for me, the moment I am on it, it takes me back to being a little kid.

Overrated Resort: Polynesian resort. I loved the Poly until I went to Maui, then the luster dimmed a bit-nothing like the real thing. That said, I like all of them that I have stayed at (values through deluxes) and would still love to stay at any of them again.

Underrated: I think both Coronado and Grand Floridian are underrated. Both tend to get the “it’s nice but not for me” type of review. I never wanted to stay at either but ended up loving both. Now, the grand Floridian is probably my favorite (along with port orleans riverside), but I can’t afford to stay therr. i have a feeling it was a one and done sort of thing-A few years ago, I got a room there for less than half of the current rate. Anyway, I just like the grounds and a lot of the tiny touches you find there. I also find that the staff tends to be slightly friendlier and will go out of their way a bit more. All the hotels, even the “value”resorts, are obscenely priced. For marathon weekend I ended up gettting a room at Pop Century and at the time it was only forty to fifty dollars a night less than the “moderates.”

Overrated Restaurant: pretty much any of the steak restaurants in the parks like La cellier or Yatchsman. Good but not great steak and way way overpriced for the quality. To me, the sides at these restaurants are far better than the steak. It also think the Dole whip is totally overrated. It is good, but I could take it or leave it most days.

Underrated: Marrakech restaurant in Morocco. It is a tamed down for American tastes, but probably some of the better meals I have had on property-especially for the money.

Overrated Show: Fantasmic...it’s a spectacle, but it’s just not my thing.
