Popular attractions at each park you skip

[JimmyBean42]

We've skipped Jingle Cruise our past few trips but mainly b/c we always skip it in the early part of the day so we can get other rides done after rope drop. Then for some reason it's always long lines in the afternoon. Maybe this year we'll do it early.

Mission: Space we always skip b/c it makes DW feel queasy. And (to our dislike) Fantasmic b/c it scares our DS (4) and DD (2). Hopefully those fears don't last long b/c we love that show.

Magic Kingdom:
I honestly can't think of anything we consistently skip here except for Hall of Presidents. I do that one every 4 or 8 years.

Epcot:
Test Track - I honestly do not get the appeal at all. I find it just plain boring and now that you design your own car, it takes for too long.
Ellen's Energy Adventure - 45 minutes is quite the commitment for a blah ride.
Mission Space - I get motion sick on certain rides so I've never even tried this one. What I have seen online convinces me I'm not missing anything.
All of the country movies

DHS:
LMA - Does this even count as a popular ride?

Animal Kingdom:
We skip most stuff here except for the safari, EE, and Festival of the Lion King.

My kids were SUPER disappointed in Kali River Rapids. We won't ride it again. I can't believe people wait 2+ hours for a ride that lasts less than a minute and half the boat gets wet the other half might get sprinkled.

I liked the queue for Peter Pan, but no way would I wait any more than 20 min for that ride!

I also did not like Soarin.

Disclaimer: I love thrill rides, so that factors into my opinions.

We have never done any meet and greet or character meals, just no interest. Also we don't make it a point to watch parades. If we happen to be in an area where one passes by, we may watch it but don't stake out a place and wait for one.
Have never seen Fantasmic, we might some day.
Mission Space (none of us want to throw up)
Toy Story (we might some day)
none of us have done RnR coaster.
have never done Tiki Room, Hall of Presidents, Jungle Cruise (plan on doing all of this some time).
We have done everything at AK and everything at Epcot (except Mission Space and Sum of all Thrills)

MK-Tomorrowland Speedway. Not worth the wait in the heat and fumes.
EP-Mission Space, even the green side makes me a bit nauseous.
HS-Indiana Jones, used to watch it every time but the show doesn't change so we haven't seen it in years.
AK-Kali River Rapids, who want to be soaked all day?

MK:
Barnstormer. DD5 insisted because she's a roller coaster freak, but never again.
Dumbo
Speedway
Teacups just because they're not long enough

Epcot:
Ellen
Captain EO

DHS:
Nothing comes to mind. We didn't see any shows, but we loved all the other attractions we did do.
Oh, I know! The Disney Junior show. Ugh. I hate sitting on the floor. For one, I'm too old for that, and it really just grosses me out. DD will be too old for that nonsense next time we go. Or else I"m just telling her no.

AK:
Kali - we just got too wet. We even had a change of clothes with us, and we were just too wet to be happy. Maybe if we didn't have dinner reservations that night at Boma we wouldn't have cared so much, but we had to leave to change and come back.
Dinosaur. Never, ever again. I hated being shaken like that. Nnnnnnope

My disappointment is the length. After riding the similiar ride at Universal (Popeye's River Barge) this is a huge let down. You wait and then a minute or two later you are done.

When I go in the summer, me!

Magic Kingdom
Peter Pan - I've ridden it enough that the charm has mostly worn off and the line is miserable

Epcot
Test Track - The thrill isn't worth the wait and it just lacks a certain Disney charm

Hollywood Studios
Rock n' Roller Coaster - Insane wait, mostly boring and uninspired queue, extremely short and not terribly thrilling ride. Glad I've done it (several times) but if I never ride it again I'll be fine.

Animal Kingdom
Kali - Not particularly thrilling (doesn't hold a candle to Grizzly River Run), but the worst is the smell. I love water rides but Kali water REEKS for some reason.

 

[loves to dive]

MK - everything in the Fantasyland - all adults so not waiting in line, did do SDMT last time but won't do it again. Splash Mountain, don't need to get wet. Parades, like a previous poster, if we happen to be walking by and one is happening we (meaning me not my DS and DIL) will stop and watch it, the stage shows (again I would watch them but not DS and DIL) Magic carpet, stichs great adventure or whatever it is now, laugh floor, speedway, I can take or leave space mountain (which is good since it seems to be broke down more than up.)

Epcot - the ride at the seas (hate it since they added the nemo theme, always go and look at the fish though) Turtle talk, mission space, can take or leave test track. the little ride in Mexico (hated when they changed it)

HS - Rock and roll roller coaster, hurts my neck. I can take or leave toy stroy mania, if doing solo I skip it. Star tours or whatever it is called, makes us all sick.

AK - don't even go back into the dino land section any more, not worth the wait for the one adult ride. Kali River Rapids - don't want to get wet. Bugs Life, don't hate it but after 3 or 4 times it's not worth the wait. If DS and DIL are along we skip the shows, if solo I go to them. Haven't been to wonders of flight but just because never have time.

Dhs: star tours or whatever it's called. Blech.

Ak: kali. I just don't like getting that soaked haha.

Epcot: soarin. Riding it once is enough for me. Kinda boring.

Mk: hmm... Peter Pan I guess? Once is enough for those crazy lines.

 

[Satchmo128]

Not sure if it counts as an attraction, but we always skip parades. We don't have kids and don't feel the need to stake out a spot on the curb for hours.

 

[sewingmolly]

We skip Soarin. We love riding it, but after we rode at Disneyland we realized that it's a California ride, not a Florida ride.
So until there's a new film, we enjoy it at DRL and skip it in WDW.

 

[lustergirl]

MK: Space Mountain, Astro Orbiter
AK: Everest
HS: didnt visit my last trip but RNR and TOT
EPCOT: Test Track and Mission Space

Not big on thrill rides

 

[Ava]

Most rides we purposefully skip are because they make me/DW feel queasy - Tea Cups, Tower of Terror, & Mission: Space.

Last year we skipped most of the shows at DHS & AK because younger DD was only 16 months old and wouldn't sit through them. She'll be 2 years 4 months on our trip this year and sat well through Disney Live when it came to our city, so we're going to try Disney Junior, BatB, FOTLK, & Nemo. (We'll continue to skip Indiana Jones & LMA - no interest.)

 

[eyehartdisney]

We have never been during the times when Frozen stuff has been going on, but if we did, we would skip all that stuff.
We also skip the Lion King Show. Blasphemy on this Board, I know.

I also thought that Lion king was basically like watching the trailer to cirque, and not worth the wait. But the frozen show was sheer disney magic. It's almost jungle cruise level of corny jokes, but the acting isn't nearly that hit-or-miss.

Usually all the character meets, although last year I was thrilled to take a picture with the characters from UP.

We don't watch live shows, any. To us, feels like a waste of ride time.

We skip parades and go on the rides instead.
