What is your least favorite "land" or area of Magic Kingdom?

tommorrowland is so yesterday. Move CoP to Epcot, plow over the autopia, and BURN DOWN Stitch.


Then, put in larger version of the carsland there. much larger.

Of course Fantasyland and Main Street are my favorites, but I LOVE Liberty Square. I love the buildings there. CHH is ok, and I don't even ride HM, but I just love the look of it and also eat at LTT whenever I can get lunch reservations. I really, really don't like Frontierland. BTMRR is the only saving grace. I don't like Splash Mountain. I always think of that awful Country Bear Jamboree when I think of Frontierland.

I voted Fantasyland. Just becuase most of the attractions in that area are geared towards younger kids. It feels too kiddie and too girlie for me.

Had to put some real thought into this one.

My first reaction was to say Liberty Square, but its the home of my favorite attraction and I spend more time there than I realized looking back. I love the atmosphere at night....just something about it. I don't do much else in the land but do a lot of walking through it but I rather enjoy it, and its easy to get around in it.

Adventureland I love, but the carpets of Aladdin really really hurts the atmosphere and is a huge eye sore.

sooo

Tomorrowland is my vote. My last trip was a solo trip to Disney, and my first solo trip. I never felt a desire to walk into that land and visit any of the attractions. I like carousel of progress, and will ride space mountain only If I waste a fastpass on. Love me some relaxation on the people mover. Despite these things I still didn't have the desire to go there. I think it could be a great land, but its attractions are missing the remarks. If alien encounter was still there I would be heading there every time...but alas its not.

Just my 2 cents.

I had to go with Main Street. Although it is visually appealing, especially on the first time in on any trip, once you get beyond that it acts mainly as a funnel for crowd control. My second pick probably would have been Tomorrowland, simply because its a land they've been unable to keep up to its name. Although Buzz and the Peoplemover are favorites, and Space Mountain is a quality attraction, it also houses Stitch and the Speedway, which is outdated and I'm not a huge fan of the Laugh Floor.

Respectfully disagree. My last trip, I had to wait for my husband and child to come back from a tour. I sat there and purposefully put away my phone -- always my go-to when there's time to "kill" or "waste" -- and listened, just listened to the Main Street music loop, and watched people. That's it. It was a transcendent moment. Ever since, when I'm stressed, I invoke the Main Street music loop on Youtube and just feel...in the moment.

I agree with this. I like the about 95% of the attractions in each land so I can't really judge on that. But Tomorrowland is the one place where I didn't feel compelled to stop to take in the surroundings. The smooth lines and flat surfaces might give a "futuristic" feel but it makes the buildings there blend into each other and become rather forgettable.

We're on the West Coast, so we are far, far more familiar with Disneyland than Disney World.

That said, I found Tomorrowland in the Magic Kingdom just wonderful. The People Mover alone creates a feeling of "vintage Disney" which I just love. It's like one of those images where they put a photo from the 1800s next to one from current-day? That juxtaposition.

I am another one to vote "other." Can I pick the bus queues? There is something I love about all the different areas and the transitions from one to another. It isn't the rides or the food so much as the feel--Main street makes me happy and feel like I have come home, Frontier and Adventure land remind me of sunday evenings and Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom followed by The Wonderful World of Disney. I used to live near Williamsburg, VA, and am now in MA--Liberty Square speaks to the history buff in me, and I love the Hall of Presidents. Tomorrowland is Golden Age Science fiction and I feel like I am walking through a book cover. The princess area of the new Fantasyland is beautiful, and even the retro roadside circus feel of the Dumbo area evokes dusty summer evenings with my parents and takes me back to being a sleepy 5 yr old being carried to the car too full of popcorn and cotton candy to move. The whole park is my happy place.

Please consider this an upvote for that lovely, evocative writing.

We do ride HM...I guess I don't really equate it with the whole Liberty Square are for some reason, even though it is right there. LOL. I think more Hall of Presidents, the riverboat and those lil' shops by Columbia Harbor House and Sleepy Hollow.

Yes! Exactly. I think "Liberty Square" and the first (and best) thing to come to mind is funnel cakes. I think HM is too firmly attached in my mind to New Orleans Square -- Cafe Orleans one of my favorite places in the world -- to think of it as "Liberty Square," as well.

When I first clicked on this thread, I had every intention of voting Fantasyland. I think my real issue with it, though, is just that the Disneyland Fantasyland is just so much better. It makes me sad to think of what Fantasyland could be.

Jenna,

I'd enjoy hearing you share which parts of Fantasyland in DLR you enjoy. My child and I were delighted last year to discover that the MK "Pooh" is more similar to the wonderful Tokyo Disneyland Pooh than the sadly-in-need-of-a-rehab DLR Pooh.

We also loved that Peter Pan is constantly loading. The line at DLR is bloody awful! Stop, start. Stop. Start. And those tiny, windy, closed-in lines. I love that the feeling of history is there in DLR -- in Fantasyland, especially -- but MK Fantasyland has some cool things going for it, too.

I had to think carefully. My instinctive response to your question was none, but on reflection, we don't do anything or spend any time in Liberty Square except board the Liberty Belle (which we love) and grab lunch at CHH. It's pretty much a thoroughfare to Frontierland for us.

I wanted to say that it is an important area to Magic Kingdom but concur that we spend the least about of time in Liberty Square compared to the other areas.
Therefore voted accordingly
