Most surprising attraction?

[2Tiggies]

We have a few:
Grand Fiesta Tour
Figment. Yeah, I know - we skipped it the first couple of years because I kept reading how meh it was compared to the old one. Then in 2010 we decided to try it and see for ourselves and I have vivid memories of DD (then 8) sitting in the little car laughing until she had the hiccups. She made me take her round again and again that night and now it's something we always make sure we ride at least twice!

I was so impressed with the queue area at the Nemo ride at Epcot. One moment you're getting in a line and a short walk later you are under the ocean. Magic! I know there are others that are great, too. But that one always springs to mind first.

It's Tough to Be a Bug and Philharmagic made me laugh like a kid again - delightful.

Beauty and the Beast - so enchanting I saw it twice my first time in DHS.

Animation building - could've spent far more time enjoying the beautiful artwork in the gallery, smiling the whole time. It was just so magical to see original art backgrounds from so many films, even ones from my own childhood.

One Man's Dream - Definitely making more time to explore this one at leisure on my upcoming trip.

Like many others...Living with the Land is an unexpected favorite. I also didn't expect to love Peter Pan and philharmagic as much as I do. Dinosaur is now a must do even though I initially avoided it.

the attractions that suprised me were


Gran Fiesta Tour
Carousel Of Progress
Stitch Great Escape
The Great Movie Ride

especially going into the CoP I wasnt expecting much but its a great attraction. it is old but thats the great thing about it, for me its like country bears its old but its nostalgic and if they change it it would be the same

gran fiesta tour first time i did it was last trip in october during food and wine festival at epcot, it was a nice cool relaxing boat ride with a great little narative.

stitchs great escape i actually enjoy i know people hate this ride but i love it, im one of the few who does think this probably but its one of my favoriate little attractions.

great movie ride, first time i rode this 2 years ago i thought it was going to be a ride travelling through screen after screen showing movie clips i was pleasently suprised that all the ride is animatronic and the wizard of oz scene is amazing!!

When we went in 2011 it was a big deal for us. It was our first full-fledged, on-site, family trip to Disney that consisted of only the four of us. So, we have very special memories of that trip. But, our first night there we checked into the BC and walked over to Epcot....just to walk to Epcot. We just jumped on Nemo and rode it on a whim. So, it was our first ride of that vacation and it holds a special place with me now.

Monsters Inc. Laugh Floor, now I won't miss it and usually do it 4-5 a trip.

Jungle Cruise always makes me laugh especially when you get a good captain

Muppet Vision 3D, the old men still make me laugh every time

 

[Eldon_Brasche]

I would say TTA is the most surprising for me from the simple fact that they let me stay on and ride it as many times as I want. This is really nice after a long day when I need to just sit and relax awhile and let the feet recover.

Mission Space Orange - I almost missed it in 2006. It was the last ride I went on before we left. I really loved it, and I didn't get sick at all!

 

[Fab4@disney]

Stitch's Great Escape surprised me....but not in a good way.

Monster's Inc Laugh Floor and the new Toy Story ride both surprised me in a good way

What's TTA? Can't place that one....

My son loved the People Mover, and we ended up liking it too, as there's never a line and you get to zip through all the Tomorrowland attractions. Very relaxing.

Swiss Family Treehouse!

 

[Sweettears]

Laugh Floor. We had avoided it for several trips. Sought a warm place during a particularly cold night. We laughed the entire time.

 

[2Pirates2Princesses]

I also have to vote for Monsters Inc Laugh Floor. We chose it as a place to get an air conditioning break from the heat and ended up really enjoying it and laughed quite a bit

 

[SpacePlace]

I'm always surprised by..... the ride that breaks down! Then I say "how could this happen to me again, I'm right here at the front of the line... hello, free front of the line passes please???" Seriously, the technology of Alien Encounter which is now Stitch. Totally was not expecting all that right in my personal space. Scary but terrifically fun.

Festival of the lion king. I usually don't take the time to sit and watch these kind of shows. It is actually the only stage show at disney ive seen. Now it's a cant miss.
Also turtle talk with crush. Although it is for mostly families with small children, I find it hilarious.
