It could be in the parks, the resorts, Downtown Disney, or something else. What is your absolute favorite overlooked or less well known attraction at WDW?
 
I don't know if one would call it "overlooked", but I almost always find myself ready for a break around 4:00 when I am touring Epcot, and I like to find my way over to the English Garden, plop down on a bench or curb, and take in the performance of British Revolution that is closest in time to then.
 
Characterpalooza in DHS - especially since they moved it next to the ToT exit.
Great spot for it and I hope it stays here for awhile!
 
there's a few attractions that come to mind that i think are amazing but most people don't appreciate.

-carousel of progress
-enchanted tiki room
-living with the land
-journey into imagination with figment
-captain eo

i'm happy that they never had a long line but at the same time i wish more people would experience them instead of overlooking them just cuz they are not headliners.

also i feel like since anna and elsa have come all over characters whether they be other face characters or fur characters have become unappreciated.
 

Don't know if it is considered overlooked, but my alltime favorite attraction at Epcot (aside from Soarin') is the Grand Fiesta Tour boat ride in Epcot/Mexico!:cool1:

I've loved it since I was a little girl :) I prefer the original version, but because I love the Three Caballeros, I enjoy the current version as well :) I also love that it is one of the few Epcot attractions still remaining that are more classic to Epcot.
 
Carousel of Progress and the TTA/People Mover in MK.

Love Journey into the Imagination in Epcot.

At AK I enjoy walking around the Tree of Life looking at all the carvings.
 
In Epcot it would be the empty rooms in Morocco, and Figment.

In HS, sitting on the stoops.

In AK, the trails around the tree.
 
Animation Academy (Hollywood Studios).

We save/frame our drawings every trip. It's pretty amazing what the kids are able to draw - and for elementary school kids, drawing/coloring/etc is a big deal - the "academy" fills them with tons of confidence.
 
MK - Carousel of Progress and the TTA Peoplemover

Epcot - Living with the Land and Reflections of Canada. (Martin Short makes it the best of the movies)

DHS - Great Movie Ride. (Excited and scared for what the future is there.)

AK - Yak and Yeti. (So good. Every time.)
 
I don't know if one would call it "overlooked", but I almost always find myself ready for a break around 4:00 when I am touring Epcot, and I like to find my way over to the English Garden, plop down on a bench or curb, and take in the performance of British Revolution that is closest in time to then.

That's charming.

I am partial to Carousel of Progress because we were both conceived and born in Flushing, NY in 1964-1965…..and I enjoyed it as a child visiting Disney World a few years later.
 
Living with the Land

On the last few trips, it's been a breath of fresh air and reminded me of why I loved EPCOT in the first place.
 
Captain EO! Just kidding.

AK: Flights of Wonder.
DHS: The Animation Training (I don't know if that's gone now)
MK: The little pathway between part of NFL and Tomorrowland. It's a nice little breather away from crowds.
EPCOT: Walking around the Canada pavilion and the elaborate train set in front of (I think) Germany during the F&W Festival.
 
Flights of wonder at AK, Electrical Water Parade, tomb Warriors in China

MK - my family's and I's favorites are Carousel of Progress and Monster's Laugh floor. My personal favorite is Hall of Presidents.

DHS - Muppets theater and my daughter and I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the Animation studio and getting to draw characters! She is the artist in our family.

Epcot - Figment at Imagination and Voices of Liberty in the American Pavillion

AK - Kilamanjaro Safari and Kali River Rapids
 
The movies on the beach at the Yacht Club (perfect setting so relaxing).
The second beach at Wilderness lodge (again really relaxing)
Flights of Wonder at AK
The baked potato cart at MK
Don Black at DTD (plays saxophone and plays in Badaki at AK)
I'm sure there is more I just can't think of them at the moment
