Most Overrated things people rave about at WDW

[abnihon]

Cosmic Rays - I always read it was a great QS option in MK but we were not impressed and will not be back.

 

[Mousemommy1]

Definitely the Dole Whip. It leaves the nastiest aftertaste in my mouth. Gross!

 

[Maleficent's Dad]

1. O'hana
2. BOG (theme amazing, food disappointing)
3. Turkey legs (emu meat?! )
4. Le Cellier
5. TT (with the newer current "theme")
6. MVMCP and MNSSHP

my top 5:

1. - everything Frozen
2. - POTC

4. - Pin Trading
5. - Disney Resort H2O bathroom amenities

1. Illuminations- just can't get in to it
2. FP+ for parades/fireworks- what a huge waste
3. MSEP- the music grates on my nerves, SpectroMagic was so much better!
4. Signature dining- we have been to a few, nothing special, we live outside of Chicago and have access to some of the best restaurants in the country
5. Epcot- not my favorite place, huge, hot, and slightly boring

 

[winterwhite]

Fantasmic, Disney Springs, Be Our Guest dinner.

Edit to add: MSEP too. I generally like parades but I cannot stand this one.

The song for MSEP drives me insane. I try to hide in a ride far away until it's over.

1. Be Our Guest Breakfast
2. Be Our Guest dinner
3. Be Our Guest lunch
4. 7DMT
5. TSMM

 

[Minnesota!]

The Parks.

Any extra paid event

Dole Whips

That stupid, horrible grapefruit beer.

 

[smiths02]

Parades and fireworks--pretty much all of them. I get seeing it once, but it is so overhyped and if you want to do it the "right way" you end up spending money on dessert parties, ADRs timed with fireworks, Poly CL, etc...it's not worth that.

Any ADR before 10:30 a.m. or so. We have done pre-park ADRs, and we want to see the characters and enjoy our meal, so we inevitably get out about 10-15 minutes after park opens...and that's if the park opening wasn't changed to 8 am or something anyhow. And the pre-park opening ADRs for those pictures on "empty" main street. It's not empty anyhow and you miss the rope drop show and you either have to rush your meal or get into the park late.

Most Disney food. I love Dole Whip floats and Mickey caramel apples, but really everything else that is raved about is just good, not amazing.

 

[pigletgirl]

That stupid, horrible grapefruit beer.

Blasphemy!

 

[BrianL]

Dole Whip Float (why is the pineapple juice warm?) and TSMM (fun, but not worth the waits it commands).

 

[loves to dive]

Illuminations
Mickey Bar
Rope Drop

 

[AllieBoo]

Fantasmic - it was ok, but not something I would want to do every trip.
Caribbean Beach Resort - bus service was terrible and I wasn't a huge fan of the pool like a lot of people are.
Space Mountain - way too jerky(may just be that I'm getting old)
Mickey ice cream bars - it's just a regular ice cream bar in the shape of a mickey head. I get why kids would be excited about them, but not adults

 

[nilla]

Blasphemy!

Three of the four things in that post were blasphemy

 

[sdomino11]

and I'm obsessed with Dole Whip -> I have an air freshener in my car.

You have a dole whip air freshener? I'm intrigued! Where did you get it?

Overrated for us:

Character Meets
Illuminations

 

[Gillyrose779]

The Polynesian

I just don't get it. It's like a cheesy "The Brady Bunch goes to Hawaii". It's so dated. Don't get me wrong- we really, really try to "get it". We have eaten multiple meals there, saw fireworks from the beach, had drinks at the bars, walked the grounds but, still, think it is so dated and blah. I remember even taking the elevator in the lobby- it was like an old department store elevator- small and dated.

But I will say I enjoy Grand Floridian- the live orchestra is wonderful and you can request Disney tunes. There is something so magical watching kids dance on the "stage" in front of the elevator as a live orchestra plays a Disney tune.

 

[Squggl3]

1) Any deluxe resort, are they nice? yes... worth the price? NOPE!
2) Dining Plan
3) TSMM, waited in line with family for over 3 hours! wont ever do it without a FP ever again, its not that fun
4) Mickey Ice Cream bars, nothing special about them
5) Anything Frozen

I am a Dole Whip and Soarin' lover though!

 

[Minnesota!]

Blasphemy!

I so wanted to love it! I am a beer junkie. I love grapefruit. It tasted like soap to me. I choked down the HUGE one I bought...took me quite a while. Won't spend my money on it anymore (more for you!!!)
