Popular attractions at each park you skip

[TheDisneyNurse]

If I can speak for my immeadiate family, they skip any of the "bigger coasters" (RnR, EE). My parents skip ToT, but my brother just went on it for the first time on Monday and loved it! He used to skip space mountain until this trip, also. I'm usually alone waiting on rides lol.

I tend to not skip much, I'm a lunatic that likes to spend every second of the day in the park. If I plan it just right (and go at a less crowded time, like early May) I ride a decent portion of rides twice. There are SOME things I skip, however...

MK:
Tiki room
Stitch's great escape
Swiss Family Tree House
Most character meet and greets. I just don't have the time to wait in line-- I am a sucker for princesses, though!
EDIT: I never see the night parades lol.

Epcot:
Figment
Ellen, on occasion
Mission Space (Never been in my life!)
I feel really bad, but I never walk through Morocco lol

Hollywood Studios:
Honestly, not much. A big favorite of mine. I don't see the playhouse disney thing, and I hardly ever meet characters.

Animal Kingdom:
I would probably collapse and die of heat exhaustion if I stayed there all day in the summer. I usually only ride EE, Dinosaur, Kali, the Safari, and see Festival of the Lion King, and Finding Nemo.

The last time we went, our boys were 4 years old and now they are 12, so our upcoming trip will be very different than the last one since their interests (and size!) have changed so much. We've been looking at the attractions and shows for each park so they can weigh in on what they want to see most, since we only get to go for a few days.

Last time, the twins suddenly became terrified of all fireworks while watching Illuminations, so we had to try and avoid being outside when they were going off for the rest of the visit. They assure me that won't be a problem this time around Other than Fantasmic though, we aren't going out of our way to see any fireworks. Same with parades and meet and greets.

Things we will skip:

--anything where we get wet
-- Astro Orbiter
--the Lion King show at AK
-- Tomorrowland Speedway
--Tower of Terror--we hadn't ridden this before, but my sister did and said riding it was a worse decision than marrying her 1st husband--that's reason enough for me!!!

I enjoyed going on the safari at AK last time, but surprisingly, the rest of my family really disliked it, so we're skipping that this time.

Jungle Cruise - I know it's a classic, blah blah, but I just can't stand it lol!

Toy Story if I don't have the time - I don't think it's all that great

Illuminations - it's my least favourite end of day "show" and it's always so unbearably crowded

 

[Parker Clan]

We skip RnR at HS, but not because we don't want to. Because the line is always too darn long & we FP other rides. Trying really hard to get on it one of these years! Just went on TSM for first time last summer and I'm addicted!
We also skip meet & greets & parades. It's just DBF & I for now, when we have kids I'll definitely be doing them.

 

[DisneyCAL]

MK- Winnie the Pooh, People Mover, Stitches great Escape/Alien
AK- the shows (I'd rather ride rides)
HS- we skip this entire park, lol
Epcot- Mission Space aka Barf rocket, Figment

 

[karly05]

Most popular thing at MK I have never done and will not do: Space Mountain. Lots of things I do some trips, not others, depending on time. (Don't know if this counts as popular, but couldn't care less about the Speedway. And I don't know if Stitch counts, because a whole lot of us here skip that!)

Epcot - well, I don't know if there's something really popular I don't do - don't always do TT or Soarin' (although usually one or the other), depending again on how much time I have.

DHS - right up there with Space Mtn at MK - not doing RnRC. Ain't gonna happen. I haven't done ToT since 2004. I might brave it again someday, but we'll see.

AK - actually did EE this year! Super scary, but I might talk myself into it again someday. NEVER AGAIN for Kali. I still swear I have never been that wet in my entire life. I love water rides (big Splash Mtn fan), but not when they get me wetter than I would have been if I'd jumped out of the raft and swum around for a while. (Oh, and I've never done Dinosaur.) My favorite things at AK are the SHOWS (Nemo, FotLK and Flights of Wonder), the safari and trails.

 

[Boopuff]

Skip: most of the "circle vision' movies in EPCOT (Makes me nauseous)

 

[AllieBoo]

MK: teacups
Epcot: Mission Space
AK: Kali

 

[LENNON500]

Magic Kingdom - Stitch's Great Escape...any explanation necessary?
EPCOT - Mission Space
AK and HS

 

[luvmy2babies]

Other than the things we could not ride because my son was too short

Magic Kingdom
Pirates of the Caribbean
Haunted Mansion
Enchanted Tales with Belle
ETA: Astro Orbitor

Daughter has a bit of anxiety that made Pirates and Haunted Mansion a no go in the past. Hoping to try Pirates next trip. Usually just get outvoted with Enchanted Tales; but may pull rank on the next trip. I'm sure the children would love Astro Orbitor; but I can't bring myself to stand in that line.

DHS
Fantasmic

YouTube video scared my son so we're not trying that one.

Epcot
Illuminations

Never been in Epcot late enough to see Illuminations.

 

[Tonka's Skipper]

There is really nothing at WDW to skip, all the attractions are well worth the time(especially if you have not seen them). Now that said, some folks are going to enjoy some attractions more then others as posting shows. So folks tend to repeat the ones they like more then others.

Pick your own and enjoy!


AKK

We skip RnR at HS, but not because we don't want to. Because the line is always too darn long & we FP other rides. Trying really hard to get on it one of these years! Just went on TSM for first time last summer and I'm addicted!
We also skip meet & greets & parades. It's just DBF & I for now, when we have kids I'll definitely be doing them.

If you get there at RD you can walk on TOT and get FP+ for RnR and the line won't be too horrible.

 

[Dizlvr]

Splash Mountain, all the meet & greets, most of the shows in HS, EE, Mission Space.

 

[Fantabulously Cherry]

MK --
1. Tomorrowland Speedway
2. Riverboat
3. Tom Sawyer Island (although I may do it this year with my DD)
4. Aladdin (I ride Dumbo instead)

Epcot --

1. Innovations (usually in a hurry to get to World Showcase after Soarin and Test Track
2. Turtle Talk with Crush (another one I'll be doing this year with DD)
3. A number of the acts in World Showcase (just not enough time)

AK --

1. Boneyard (Yet again, DD will change that this year)

HS --

1. Tower of Terror (I used to love to ride it, now I'm terrified for some reason)
2. The stunt show (I've been, but it's just not my favorite thing to do)
3. Sounds Dangerous (I think they've permanently closed it now)

 

[ScrampShopper]

My rule is that I have to try every attraction at least once for myself, and not rely on someone else's opinion of it. Because of this, I've done everything in the 4 parks. The only things I refuse to repeat are Stitch, Mission Space, and Kali. All 3 were pointless and to get soaked on such a useless ride made it even worse. There isn't enough time to do everything else on every visit, but those are the only things that are once and done.

 

[momof2n2]

MK-
Peter Pan
HM
POTC
JC

Don't think we intentionally skip anything else, but I don't care if we miss GMR at DHS.

 

[Rhombus]

Space Mountain. Regrettably, it's just too rough and jerky for me anymore. Fortunately, Space Mountain at DL in California is still a great ride.

Kali River at AK. A wussy water raft ride. Whatever CA's version is called is superior. Heck, any random park's water raft ride is better than Kali.

No young kids anymore, so almost all of the kiddie-oriented stuff in Fantasyland and elsewhere.

 

[mkla2015]

MK:
Splash Mtn- hate to get wet
Aladdin- ride dumbo instead
Winnie the Pooh- no one is interested
Tea cups- barf!

EP:
Pretty much everything outside of the world showcase except Nemo, Turtle Talk, TT, and Soarin

DHS:
RNR- kids are too young
Indiana Jones
Disney Jr Live
Muppets- seen it too many times

AK:
Nemo Musical- the whole family fell asleep
