F & W Festival - I get it but way overhyped

Dole whips - just kidding, they are tremendous

Magical Express - this is in response to someone earlier who put it in the overrated category, lol. We love the DME

Buses...we still use them every trip, but I really hate bus sharing.
Indiana stunt show...not good and I loathe audience participation shows.

Safari very cool
Atmosphere...the whole disney experience from the sights, details and smells no other place can match.
Boma ..excellent!
The bus from wl to mk...under 5 minutes and always nearly empty,

[agavegirl1]

Overrated:

Peter Pan - it's not "classic" it's old
TSMM - I like the queue better and don't mind if I miss it entirely
Character Autograph's - I just
Little Mermaid Ride - again, the queue is the best part
Soarin - a nice ride but not a "run at RD must do"
Kali River Rapids - I was sad the ride was shortened and changed from the original plan. There are other, better raft rides out there.

Underrated

Flights of Wonder
People Mover for the views and the rest
Walt Disney World Railroad- reminds me of Walt's love of trains
Mission Space - I don't get motion sickness so this is great to me

Living with the Land - Inspiring and relaxing

There are more of each category but I'll stop here.

For me:

Overrrated:

Toy Story at HS -- The ride is ok, I find it similiar to Buzz at MK. But for a ride with at least a 90 minute wait and hard to get fast passes, I would expect it to be one of the studio's best, it isn't.

Underrated:

Star Tours -- I don't see it get mentioned, but any ride with 50 different possible stories I have to ride at least 5 times.

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?!?!

Agree Boma. I guess you and my family are the only ones. We tried a second time and still didn't figure out the rave.
TSMM - If at MK it would be about equivalent to Buzz Space Spin. It is a nice ride but the only reason it gets such long wait times is it is the only ride at DHS designed for the entire family.

Underrated - Monsters Inc., Mickeys Philharmagic and I would say all of Disney Live shows. They all are at least great afternoon slow down events and I dare say most people do not leave them the first time at least saying it was a good show.

 

[IceSkatingPrincess]

Overrated:
Hollywood Studios
Frozen (it's a good movie, but I think it's being hyped up)
Staying Onsite (it's nice but I don't see offsite as this horrible mickey-less terror it gets worked up to be!)

Underrated:
Animal Kingdom
CRT (I had a lovely breakfast, don't know why everyone hates the food so much?)
Crystal Palace (again, I love the food at every meal, and the interaction has always been great)
Staying Offsite
Private Fireworks Cruises. (everyone should try to do this once!!)
SMALL WORLD! I'd ride it all day if they would let me.
