Popular attractions at each park you skip

[CTDisneyfan816]

This idea came up from the thread about the 5 things to avoid at WDW. What things do you skip at parks that seem to be popular?

MK --
1. Not sure if this is popular, but Swiss Family Robinson
2. Tiki Room
3. Peter Pan (line is not worth the wait)
4. 7DTR -- rode once, would ride if line was short and I didn't have to use up a FP+

Epcot --

1. Ellen's Energy
2. Figment

AK --

1. Any show (I will do Lion King or Bug's Life if there with kids)

Hs --

1. American Idol (think it just closed)
2. Toy Story (like 7DTR at MK I will ride if line is short and no FP is used)
3. Shows other than Beauty and the Beast on occasion.

The most popular things I skip are Meet & Greets. I just don't care to wait in a line to do them. I might do it if there is virtually nobody waiting (and I like the character of course).

Maybe popular but can skip (though I often don't): it's a small world, The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, Sum of All Thrills, Beauty and the Beast Live on Stage, Kali River Rapids.

Anything else I can skip is most likely unpopular, so my opinion is in the majority.

Soaring
Toy Story Mania
Don't hate either, but never understood people's absolute addiction to them. For years a DCA, you could all but walk onto Soaring, but people will wait hours at Epcot (despite it reusing the California film, complete with Disneyland)

It's a Bugs Life
Ellen's Energy
Fantasmic
Beauty and Beast Snow
Dumbo (and other Dumbo-esque spinners)
Kali (worst rafting ride of any theme park)

Love IASW and Space Mtn at DL, hate them at MK.

We don't really do any meet & greets, except character meals.

MK -
Splash Mountain: We don't like to get wet.
Peter Pan: Do it every other trip.
The kiddie rides in FL: like Dumbo & Barnstormer.
Astro-orbiter: too kiddie
Tomorrowland Speedway: Waits are too long.

AK -
Kali: We don't like to get wet
Most of the shows: Been there/done that.
Bugs Life: DS hates it.
Rafiki
Most of the animals, except Safari

Epcot - I don't really consider Figment or Ellen to be popular. We usually skip Ellen, unless we need a nap. Did the new Figment for the first time last trip (I hadn't done it since I was a kid). We hated it and won't be returning.
The Land: DS hates it
Circle of Life: snoozer
The Seas: kind of kiddie and boring, except Crush

DHS -
TOT: DH and I won't do it, and DS9 doesn't want to ride by himself.
Most of the shows: Been there/done that.

Ellen or Figment, I agree, I just couldn't think of anything else I skipped.

We skipped splash mtn at MK. Water rides aren't my thing.

ToT at DHS. I hate those types of rides, so does my fiance. We kinda wanted to do simply for the theming but we couldn't talk ourselves into it.

Fiance rode Mission Space at EP. But I felt like it would be too much for me.

We ended up skipping AK altogether due to laziness I think we'll skip DHS instead next time.

I guess what everyone considers popular is different since I do not think some of the above are popular. I am not someone that has to ride an attraction every time I visit so it is not unusual for me to not ride something one visit, but ride it the next 2. Below are the ones I normally skip every trip.

MK: Splash Mountain - I think I have only be on this attraction 2 times since it opened. I just usually do not want to get wet.

Epcot: Soarin - I was bored by the time I it was over. I may give it another try some day.

AK: Kali River Rapids - I rode it once, luckily I did not get too soaked, but again I usually do not want to get wet.

DHS: Fantasmic! - Mainly it just does not work out for my schedules. Disney Junior - I have not been with the under 5 set and my sister has never pushed to go. I probably will both some time.

 

[Simba's Mom]

All mine are "thrill rides
AK- Expedition Everest and Primeval Whirl
Epcot-Mission Space
MK-BTMRR and 7DMT
DHS-TT and RnR

The green line is very mild in regards to gforce.

Soarin' is my favorite ride in any park. I would wait 2 hours for that if it meant not riding at all if I didn't.

Soaring
Toy Story Mania

I get that. When we were at DCA 2 years ago we rode Toy Story 3 times in a row with no wait. Got an early FP for Soarin after riding Radiator Springs.

 

[Planogirl]

I agree with the meet and greets. We have no interest in them.

We also skip Splash Mountain, Mission Space, RocknRoller Coaster and Kali River Rapids.

 

[prudence64]

MK - Splash
AK - Kali
Epcot - Ellen (don't know if this is actually popular though)
DHS - anything to do with Frozen

 

[ArwenMarie]

Test Track. I dislike that ride, makes me feel like I got beat up. Or maybe I do enough "thrilling" driving IRL.

 

[minnie mum]

EE, Space Mountain, RNRC, ToT, SOAT. Are we seeing a pattern here? But I love getting a free back and neck adjustment on BTMRR, go figure.

M&Gs. Not our thing.

Capt. Eo , Dumbo, Barnstormer, Disney Jr., Honey I Shrunk playground, Boneyard, anything Frozen.

 

[Lavitz]

Space Mountain and Test Track.

We don't do character meetings.

At MK: We skip Hall of Presidents as well as any show in front of the castle and daytime parades. We will watch a nighttime parade if we happen to be in the area.

At Epcot, we skip Mission Space (Orange) and Captain IO. Other than that, we do pretty much everything, either because we like to, or for nostalgia sake. Oh yeah. Almost forgot. We skip whatever that movie is in "The Land" featuring the w

At DHS we skip whatever show is going on at Playhouse Disney. We try not to skip too much else. If we did, there would be nothing in that park to do. We have never been during the times when Frozen stuff has been going on, but if we did, we would skip all that stuff.

At AK we are now in the "skip Dinosaur" camp. We used to do it every time but something just "clicked" with us on our last trip and we all collectively asked ourselves: "Why do we subject ourselves to that ride?" And we all agreed that we could be happy never doing it again. We also skip the Lion King Show. Blasphemy on this Board, I know. But it has always been a "meh" for us, and it is a time suck. It has also been years since we took the train out to the petting zoo. Can't see myself doing that again.

 

[Eandbmom]

Splash Mountain and Space Mountain at MK
Nothing "popular" that we skip at EP (never done Ellen)
EE, dinosaur, and Kali at AK (we go for the Safari, food, and walking around)
TOT in DHS

 

[MataHari22]

I used to skip the meet and greets but last year, when I got memory maker, I did a few, and it was fun and I got some great pix, so will do this this year as well.
Some of the more popular attractions that I can think of that I skip:

HS:
TOT
RNR
Dis Jr

AK:
Kali (too wet!)
EE
Dino
PW
Tri Spin

EPCOT:
MS
Figment
Capt Eo

MK:
IaSW
MCoA
MTP
Splash
Speedway

Course there are non popular others I skip.... like Stitch.

 

[BuzzinDownToDisney]

Tea Cups, not happening even if Alice agrees to ride with us. Not worth it for the barfy feeling!

Tomorrowland Speedway. Identical to a ride we have at a local ghetto amusement park and I'd rather go inhale the air of a smoking section for 20 minutes than the air of the speedway.
