Underrated Gems!

[SDA]

Ok - what are the underrated gems at the parks! The things you did that really helped make your day that I can't find in a Disney Blog somewhere. We are definitely ride focused, trying to use LLs, and going at a busy time, but I also don't want to be so rushed I miss some truly special stuff. Special snack, favorite shop, attraction that doesn't get any attention in online articles.

I know we can't do it all, but would like do make it to more that a list of rides. Also would love to have other options if the day goes off plan due to weather, rides breaking down, etc.

We will be visiting all four parks and Typhoon Lagoon (weather permitting). Husband, myself, and teen daughter (her 1st time to Disney)

For Me…..it’s the details everywhere. My DD22 are incredibly guilty of not taking our time to look at the details everywhere we go. We watch certain YouTubers, like Mammoth Club, and Molly is constantly showing details in places I’ve been many times, and then I’m annoyed at myself for never seeing these details myself. I told my DD22 that we have to start slowing down and really start taking in the creativity everywhere - we don’t need to be rushing from ride to ride as much anymore, and she agrees. There’s so much more to the parks than just rides and food and it’s time for my DD22 and I to start enjoying those gems that are in all the details. We gotta stop and smell the roses.

I love Philharmagic at MK. And taking the time in Momento Mori to see Madame Leota appear.
I highly recommend For the First Time in Forever at HS. It's entertaining even if you aren't a Frozen fan.
It's not everyone's cup of tea, but interacting with characters makes me so happy. Whether at a character meal or meet n greet, I have a couple character specific questions planned and the conversation goes from there.
There is a lot to catch in the Epcot World Showcase when you "slow down" - the juggler in Italy, little museums in Morocco and Norway, beautiful gardens in Japan, art in Mexico...
