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

[tsme]

Frozen Ever after ride

 

[jsbowl16]

Ohana. It is way over hyped for the quality of food that you get there and the price.

Seven Dwarf's Mine Train
Super cute ride just not on our list of rides we have to do at MK. If it the wait was under 10 min and we were right in front of the entrance then we might go for a spin.

Test Track. If you've ever ridden on a highway in a convertible, you've already had the same experience as this ride. I don't understand the appeal of it.

 

[wdw&sonny]

Dole Whip.

Something that I find a tad confusing, though I'm not sure I can use the word overrated because I do see it's appeal, just not to the extent to match it's wait. Even though it's waits have dropped with the New Fantasy Land changes, Dumbo. That thing had excessive waits before it got doubled. Yet Aladdin never has. Or even Triceratops Spin. What made Dumbo different?

Kimmy Gibbler didn't air her nasty sneakers out on The Magic Carpets of Aladdin.

But did you do it in a car you designed

Zebra Domes.

I didn't dislike them, but I wanted to like them more. There are plenty of things I dislike more, but I've seen very little criticism for zebra domes compared to those other things (such as Stitch, Speedway, the latest Imagination ride, etc.).

So, I'd say zebra domes were the biggest disconnect between my experience and my expectation.

 

[StraightToDumbo]

Well...perhaps except that "value" is subjective.

Disney isn't saying "all guests will find value in all things we provide/offer/have".

Also 'proud' isn't what I would personally describe it as.

I'd like to bottle and sell this! Disney throws a whole bunch of stuff to the wall in the hopes it'll stick. With 20 MILLION guests, enough people are going to find value in a singular item that it becomes profitable for Disney. Don't like the light up toys they sell at night? Don't worry, on the day you are there 5,000 people thought differently.

I would say for the amount of time you have to wait for Frozen Ever After, it is extremely overrated. You spend the first part of the ride anticipating going to Elsa's castle, just to have her push you away and then it's over in record time. I would say the quality of the AA's would justify about a 20 minute wait for that experience, but an hour and a half to two hours? Just don't get the hype.
I kind of feel similarly about 7dmt, even though it is pictured in my avi.

I would never wait over 15 minutes for FEA or SDMT. We are skipping FEA this trip competely unless the wait time is low which I doubt/ We do have FP for SDMT not that it is one of our most favorites but we think it is a nice ride not fantastic.

Tonga Toast for breakfast at Kona Cafe. Tried it a few years ago and was grossed out by just how sugary it was. Ick.

 

[sassy2000]

Dole whip! I mean, it is pineapple juice with ice cream. I don't get why so many think it is amazing! But everyone has their own opinions and obviously a lot of people don't share mine. LOL.
Also, I don't think this is highly rated overall but the Country Bear Jamboree is horrid!

Updated with the latest. Again, if there were multiple items on one post, I only counted the first one listed and I only posted those that had multiple votes. It looks like Dole Whips are running away with it!!

5-way tie: Peter Pan, Stormalong Bay, Ohana dinner, Pandora, and daytime parades.

 

[rtbreneman]

It's funny - most of the things on the top of this list, I enjoy. Dole Whips? Love em. Parades and fireworks? Love em. Poly and Ohana? Love em! Just goes to show you that Arnold and Willis were right - different strokes for different folks.

If I were to pick the most overrated for me, I'd have to go with BOG and FEA. Too much hype for both without much substance.

Happily Ever After

 

[Disney & ME]

I have been sitting her laughing at all the responses and especially loved the haiku!
I love many of the things mentioned (especially the Poly and Peter Pan) because of the nostalgia from going to WDW when I was a kid. I guess I could honestly say that I found the Dole Whip and the Grey Stuff overrated. I prefer the Citrus Swirl and the cupcakes like the Butterfinger cupcake! And, I found BOG breakfast overrated unless you are doing the dining plan and then it is a good deal for your money. I have a dinner res. for October at BOG and I will have to wait and see for that one.

 

[amberpi]

The cupcakes. They're just sickeningly sweet and the cake is always dry - ugh.

Another vote for Fantasmic.

Ok so I don't remember ever getting a Dole Whip in my past trips! Maybe I did but I just don't remember them.

Did you get a Dole Whip first time at the Dole Plantation or at WDW?

My husband and I had a Dole Whip each this past September at the Dole Plantation and we really enjoyed it and we do plan on getting one this September at WDW so we'll see if I prefer one over the other.

I'm wondering if for some people the taste is not necessarily out of this world but that there's that sentimental attachment to having one at WDW??

I first had Dole Whip at Disney, don't really remember when. I have had them twice at Dole Plantation, in Dec/Jan 2015 and again in Sept 2015. They tasted so much better than Disney's. Honestly, my son and I had them Oct 2015 in the Animal Kingdom and they were not good at all, but at Epcot and MK they were fine.

OP - this is an awesome thread BTW!

Really highlights how what some people love, others hate and there's something for everyone at WDW!
