Thanks! I seem to be a splash mountain jinx, so we'll see how it goes.

I agree with PP. Hopefully it will be working. It is under refurbishment right now so that shouldn't be a problem in Nov. Hopefully nothing breaks.

Hi Prudence,

For your Epcot never have dones, I would recommend the three shows you left out: Canada, France and USA

For me, Epcot is all about the unhearalded treasures in World Showcase and there is lots to explore there.

For your Hollywood Studios never tried:
I would not miss Magic of Disney Animation, Fantasmic, Star Tours or the Great Movie Ride. To me, the are the essence of Hollywood Studios. Try Playhouse Disney if you have small kids or Stunts, Motor show if you have boys. My son will not give that show up, but it is loud!

Enjoy your trip!

I have marked in red all of the ones I recommend. Another "find" I discovered on my trip two weeks ago is One Man's Dream at DHS.. It's very interesting!

For the other items you listed, either I haven't been on them, or they're just not my "cup of tea." I'm not a huge fan of Fantasmic, for instance. But lots of folks love it!

And I really, really dislike Stitch.

 

[Networth]

Splash Mountain
Mission Space Orange (aka the real versions)
Star Tours
Dinosaur

 

[melifeld]

If you have never seen Fantasmic! before, I would try to make the time. We saw it for the first time on our last trip. We just had never found ourselves in DHS in the evening before. We made a point of seeing it on our last trip, and we loved it.

My trips were: 1976, 1983, 1987, 2001, 2011 and planning for Nov. of this year

MK never tried:

1) Shootin Gallery - I'd just watch someone else.
2) Tom Sawyer Island - I LOVE this - but have childhood memories, and memories with my kids.
3) Splash Mountain (it's been out of service both of my previous trips) - ABSOLUTELY GO - no questions.
4) Liberty Belle Riverboat - we are trying this for the first time - no kids
5) Dumbo - Yes. But expect to be a bit underwhelmed by the ride. Take in the look and details.
6) Barnstormer - Meh.
7) Winnie the Pooh - Decent. But I wanted more.
8) Under the Sea Little Mermaid - Yes. But really take in the queue (especially outside).
9) Enchanted Tales with Belle - if you have kids, an absolute yes. SO beautiful.
10) Stich's Great Escape - I will torture my wife with this. It's terrible.
11) Astro Orbiter - Never been. Will be closed in May.
12) Tomorrowland Speedway - Underwhelming. Terribly.

Epcot never tried:

1) Sum of all Thrills - Never tried.
2) Circle of Life - DULLSVILLE.
3) Captain EO - Enjoyable if you treat it like an episode of MST3K. Even the workers here can be laughably bad. We say that this ride is where they send Disney workers to be punished.
4) Mission Space Orange - If you can handle it GO!
5) O Canada - Never seen.
6) Impressions of France - Saw a LONG time ago.
7) american adventure Show - Fun. Like Presidents. But more PC. And less... Good?


Hollywood Studios never tried:

1) The Magic of Disney animation
2) Disney Jr. Live - especially with young kids, yes. My six-year old LOVED it.
3) Lights, Motors, Action stunt show
4) The Great Movie Ride - REALLY dated. See what was inventive in 1989.
5) Star tours - new version - Very good. Surprisingly rough.
6) Fantasmic! - Yes. My wife cried when we made it this time

Animal Kingdom never tried:

1) Pangani Forest Exploration Trail - Going this time
2) Rfiki Planet Watch - Really dull. But some good character interactions. And if you are doing the Wilderness Explorers, it can be fun.
3) jungle Trek - Going this time
4) Flights of Wonder - Corny, but much better than I thought it would be.
5) Boneyard - GREAT playground. TONS of space. Again, my six year old had a ball.
6) Dino-Rama
7) Primeaval Whirl - Skippable.
8) Dinosaur - VERY good. But VERY terrifying for young kids. Best on-ride picture opportunity.

You've got some real room for fun here.

 

[dawnhaze]

Dumbo, Stitch, Astro Orbiter, Captain EO, and Disney Jr Live would be the only things on that list I would intentionally skip. Dumbo and Astro because I don't care about flying around in a circle (I don't do the Aladdin Carpets either, lol), Stitch because it is just bad, Captain EO because it is old and corny (but if you enjoy that, then do it once), and DJL because I have no kids (if you have kids, take them!).

I generally believe that most things that probably won't kill you are worth doing once.
