In your opinion what is the most overrated thing in WDW?

[Mattimation]

Art of Animation Resort. Stayed there for a week, and am astounded whenever I hear positive things about it. Sure the courtyards are fun, but once you actually get into a park they're really nothing special. I thought it was awful. Worst hotel experience I've had anywhere, not just WDW.

I'd like to also say Avatarland, because that has NEVER made sense to me, but I haven't gone yet and don't want to say something I haven't done. I can't help but feel though that in like...10 years they're going to shut it all down to re-theme it to something more timeless. Maybe Beastly Kingdom can finally appear.

The first thing that came to my head when I saw the original post was Dole Whip so I'll go with that. But there are many good ones on this list

CRT and Frozen

Prior to my most recent trip it would have been the Peter Pan ride. Why people wait hours at times for that ride I will never know. I say that being a huge Peter Pan fan...

However, after our most recent trip it is BOG for dinner. We tried and failed on our 2 previous trips to get a reservation and I made sure I was online at the 180 day mark to get one for this trip. Very disappointing is probably an understatement. To be fair the restaurant is absolutely gorgeous, especially the main dinning room. The West Wing Room is cool, but all the people eating in there makes it a little strange. The other room is pleasant to look at, but not overwhelming by any means. Servers were very friendly and welcoming, but very slow. That's about where it stops for me. Food was good, not great and easily some of the most overpriced on the property. Service was incredibly slow. We got checked in at 705p (with a 645p ADR), didn't get seated until 720p, and didn't walk out of the restaurant until 915p!! The only thing that made it all worth it was the M-n-G with the Beast. I had been told that if your daughter is dressed like Belle the he will go over the top when she walks up, and HE DID!! He acted surprised to see her, bowed, then took her hand and danced for a few seconds. She was over the moon, as were her mother and I!! At the end of the day I recommend doing the QS for breakfast and Lunch, and skip the Table Service Dinner. You'll still get to see the inside and I think meet the Beast (not 100% certain he is there during day). Oh yeah, The 'Grey Stuff" was underwhelming as well...

Figment.

Not sure anyone rates Figment very highly...lol!!

 

[Tonyz]

I never gave my answer... American Adventure.

Incredibly boring, awful song, and I don't want to hear about how great America is for a half hour... especially these days.

I would love to see them tear it down and put another country there instead.

But where would I get a good nap at Epcot?!?

60 Minute Waits 1

Somehow I missed the person who said this. In order to be overrated it has to be something that the majority likes but you dislike, right? So who said 60 min waits are overrated? Does anyone actually like those? I guess maybe I'll have to read back to understand how that made the list cause I don't get it

 

[L&Lfan]

Illuminations
anything Star Wars or Marvel
club level accommodations
Disney Springs
any baked goods found on premises

But is it for the ride or the character?

 

[mi*vida*loca]

Oh yes!! I agree with Star Wars and Disney Springs.

Disney Springs is just one big shopping mall with restaurants. And I never got into Star Wars. Never watched a movie and have no interest to do so.
