Underrated and overrated?

[ToyStory3]

Where do you differ from many in the Disney community? What are your most underrated and overrated attractions, restaurants, snacks, etc.? Just your own opinion and just for fun!

My overrated:
-Boma - didn't care for it and didn't understand what all the rave is about
- Cosmic Rays - We had our worst meal in property here and just can't go back.

My underrated:
-I LOVE It's a Small World. I could ride it all day!
- I also LOVE the Hall of Presidents and get teary every time I go.
- and I can't understand why Ellen's Energy ride gets so much grief. I think it's great!! Don't you just love it when your car starts moving and these large dinosaurs are all around you?!?!

Mickey's PhilHarmagic is very underrated.....so is Dinosaur and It's Tough To Be A Bug at Animal Kingdom. Toy Story Mania is very overrated ......so is the Fantasmic show at DHS!! I like them both but- it's not worth any extra hassle!!

Cinderella's Royal Table....Chef Mickey's....Le Cellier are all overrated dining experiences----everybody should try them out once though.

Underrated -
Cap'n EO - because i'm a huge MJ fan
Living w/ the Land - sooo relaxing
Mickey's Philharmagic
Astro Orbiter - so beautiful @ night
Carousel of Progress

Overrated -
Animal Kingdom period - I could do the Safari & then walk right out
Garden Grill - not the same since it doesn't do the rotation anymore
CRT - I agree - do it @ least once though
Aladdin - those spitting camels always turned me off
Mickey Bars - too much ice cream, not enough chocolate

 

[Beer Me]

Underrated - Tree of Life and really the whole AK park. Amazing attention to detail.

Overrated - Soarin'. It's a pleasant enough experience but the long lines and some peoples desire to ride it over and over is inexplicable to me.

 

[BuzzinDownToDisney]

Underrated:
PhilharMagic (Although it's gettin a lot of love on here today)
Figment (People hate it because it isn't old Figment, but still a fun experience)

Space Mountain
Mission Space (If I wanted Disney to make me barf, I'll look at my credit card statement when I get home)

[4under4]

Overrated:
CRT - do it once and then be done!
Magical Express
Toy Story
Hard ticket events (MNSSHP, MVMCP, Villains, etc.)


Underrated:
AK - it's a 2 day park for us
Philharmagic - we saw this 3 times in one day and the kids wanted to go again!
CoP - such a great way to chill out in the heat of the afternoon

 

[cigar95]

Overrated -
(still local, even if outside WDW) Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey - many think this is the gold standard of theme park attractions, and I think it's utterly worthless. (I love WWoHP, but the attraction was a gigantic disappointment.)

Underrated -
Voices of Liberty - what do you mean it's "just a warmup while we wait for the real show"? It's my second favorite thing in all of WDW!
Boma - no matter how many good things are said about it, it's even better than that
The food at CRT breakfast - most everyone goes for the princesses or the ambiance and complains about the cost and the food quality, but I love the food there. I just can't afford it very often.

 

[DizneyLizzy]

Overrated
Food and wine festival (hot, crowded, overpriced)
Run disney events (I love running and running events, and I've tried a run disney race...I just don't get the appeal and how so many people are willing to shell out the big bucks for these...I'd rather spend the $ on a different disney experience)
Frozen (my entire family and I just don't get the frenzy)

Underrated
Living with the land (I actually like this better than Soarin...and I love Soarin)
Monsters inc laugh floor (best when it's a full house!)
Winnie the Pooh (I know a lot of Disney geeks hate it bc it's not mr. Toad, but this ride is just so cheerful and fun)

 

[practicallyperfect77]

Mission Space (If I wanted Disney to make me barf, I'll look at my credit card statement when I get home)

This cracks me up!

Under:
AK
Mickey's Philharmagic
Living with the Land

Over:
I agree with PP on World Showcase
Test Track
And have to agree on Mission Space too

Hmm..looks like Epcot is only good for Soarin' and Living with the Land for me. =)

 

[ToyStory3]

Over:

Toy Story Mania

Food & Wine. This may be the most overrated of all for me.

 

[jm106]

Over rated- Kona cafe- food stunk (lapu lapu made up for it)
Character Autograph books- I cant see wasting tome to get a fake signature and cant see what I would do with it after. My kids got a couple and I said I would add them to our photo book(but they are in a drawer becasue once home, no one really cared.)
Carmel shop in World showcase
Dole whip


Underrated- AKL becasue everyone says its SO far. Really its a few min farther, but not far at all.
Boma- love it
The walk to pool at CBR- 6 min from second to last room(trini South.)
ASmusic. For us, it was really fine but I was prepared for horrible(did a split with a deluxe and it was still really nice.) The theme was cute outside, fun, playful.
Epcot for kids. My 8 year olds fav park.
