Most Overrated things people rave about at WDW

In no particular order:
Test Track - I do not get it and I think it's even worse after the refurb. I don't want to spend forever designing a car. And even if I do the single rider line, the ride is so meh. What on earth is the big deal about driving 60mph for a couple of seconds?



Toy Story Midway Mania - Why do people wait hours for this ride? Don't get me wrong - it's cute and all, but not more than a 20-30 minute wait worth of cute.



Mickey Bar - It's an Eskimo Pie in the shape of Mickey. I love Eskimo Pies, but I can get a box of them for slightly more than I would pay for one Mickey Bar. Just not a good value for me, especially since there is nothing special about them since I can have an Eskimo Pie anytime I feel like driving to the grocery store (on I35 where I will go over 60 mph for more than a few seconds Test Track).



Port Orleans French Quarter - It looks like the Mardi Gras section of Walmart vomited all over a cheap motel.



Grand Floridian - Sure it's beautiful, but there are plenty of other resorts that are equally as beautiful (Beach Club, Yacht Club) and many resorts that are much better themed (Polynesian, Wilderness Lodge). If I'm going to stay at a deluxe resort, Grand Floridian would likely be my next-to-last choice.



Disney Dining Plan - Unless you are eating the most expensive thing on the menu at some of the most expensive restaurants, you are spending more for the dining plan than you would to just pay out of pocket. I also don't get the "but it's all paid for ahead of time" argument. So what? You're still spending that money. At least without the dining plan, I know I will be spending exactly what my food costs and not trying to figure out if snack is a good value or deciding I should buy some meal I don't want just to justify the cost of the dining plan. And don't get me started on the idea of using two credits for signature dining.
 

Le Cellier - not what it once was
Dino Land... just why?
CRT Dinner
Dessert parties
California Grill
 
There's enough negativity out there already about Disney on this board. Why do we need to add more?
It's all about perception. I don't think this thread is negative at all and is quite interesting. There are a lot of things PP's have listed that I absolutely adore and others that I laughed at because I completely agree. I think it's great that we can all get together to talk about such a huge range of topics about Disney. :rainbow:
 
I didnt start this thread to be negative... I also started an underrated thread.. we can critique Disney and still love it

No worries, I'm not blaming you. I'm just seeing some of the responses and thinking 'blerg.'

An interesting twist on this would be "This not That." So instead of Dole Whips, I prefer ____.

"Parties"-Dessert, Halloween, Christmas, etc.

Totally forgot about BBB... ugh, no!
 
Fantasmic, Shades of Green, Moderate resorts in general, BOG dinner (great if you want a steak that tastes like an unseasoned burger!)
 
Fantasmic! The first time we saw it, it was very chilly out, and the wind was blowing just right that we were getting sprayed the entire time every time the water screens went up (in the summer that would have been nice, but not when we're wearing jackets). We went back last summer, I thought maybe I needed to give it another chance. Nope, still don't like it.

Illuminations - I just don't get it. I think they could do something so much better at Epcot, maybe some day...

Turkey Legs - Just Ew!

MSEP - I loved SpectroMagic, but MSEP annoys me. The music seriously makes my skin crawl.

Chef Mickey's - the only restaurant at WDW I refuse to ever go to again. It was terrible all around.

CSR - I did not like it there one bit. And "mini-deluxe", um no.

Free Dining.

Alcohol at dessert parties - why do I have to pay the same price for my 13 year old as for myself when she can't even drink? IMO, there shouldn't be alcohol at the parties any way, but if they're going to have alcohol there should be an alcohol free option for the 10-20 year olds and even the adults who don't/can't drink. I love dessert parties, but the high price because it includes alcohol keeps me from doing them.
 
1.) Soarin - Just don't get why people love this ride.
2.) TT - See above
3.) TSMM - A virtual buzz. It's ok, but I simply can't understand the hysteria.
4.) Stitch - JK, no one rates this one above last place on any list...
