Whats something you love about WDW that many people don't like?

[TheOrangeBird01]

Does it get a lot of genuine hate? I find the complaining about how it's a tortuous ride with a song that gets stuck in your head, is mostly tongue in cheek.

I agree that it's mostly tongue in cheek, but I know a ton of people who refuse to even go near the ride. And the song isn't that bad ...

Magical Express, going to WDW, not back to the hotel. So many people complain about it, but to me, it's part of the vacation. I love sitting on the bus, hearing people on their first trip with their Birnbaum Guide, planning out what they're going to do. Before DME started, I used to take the Mear's shuttle rather than a limo because meeting other people headed to WDW was "part of the experience" (as Clark Griswold said in "Vacation").

The dreaded Beverly

I actually like it too. I hated it growing up but I always tried it because it was so terrible that it became a tradition. I guess over the years I've developed a taste for it.

Universe of Energy and Living with the Land. And Small World. Also, my girlfriend inexplicably hates that I always buy watermelon and bubble gum jelly beans. Does she hate those flavors or does she hate me enjoying things?

Carousel of Progress Loved by many on this forum but my Girlfriend Hates it and refuses to let me enjoy it when I'm with her.

Girlfriends, man! Like... Just let me enjoy these jelly beans!

The Swan - small, walkable to multiple parks, good food on site, indoor corridors and elevators, Starbucks in the room, and Heavenly beds.

Yes, there is a parking fee and a resort fee, but it's still frequently cheaper than the Boardwalk or Yacht/Beach Club, and when you have an inconvenience, they offer a room discount or food voucher instead of an extra fast-pass.

I love this too ... maybe because it's nostalgic to me ... got to ride it in 1965 at the NY World's Fair

Me too. and remember it. I was 7 at the time.

Long time since I posted, but TTA; some find it boring, while it is one of my must do attractions.

Stitches Great Es.....Na! I hate it as much as everyone else.

When it rains. I have zero idea why I like it so much but I absolutely love it when a brief shower rolls through.

 

[SW_matt]

I like being completely cut off from the outside world; No internet, No phones (except for photos and videos) and no thinking about work etc. Perfect....

Ellen's energy adventure and the pre-shows/theming/underscore for Stitch's Great Escape.

I love the construction. I find it fascinating to watch the progression

I'm assuming you visit once a year over 10 years to keep up with Avatarland and Hollywood Studios! That would feel more like a normal rate of "progression"

I like all the planning. I feel like a lot of people I talk to get overwhelmed by planning so far in advance, and having to do ADR's and FP+. But I really love that part of it!

I agree with all of the above, plus:
- hearing cheer groups rehearse
- listening to other ppl complain about Disney stuff (in an inoffensive way)

I love paying $17 for a cheeseburger meal. Makes me feel like a big man.

I love the fact that there's a lake in front of MK.

There's no other park, that I know of, where you park your car 1mi+ away and, in a sense, "leave it and the world behind".

I'd guess some people see the lake as just "in the way" and stupid that it's there but it's just amazing to me that people thought, "Let's put the park entrance on the shore of the lake and shuttle everyone over via ferry or monorail."

That wouldn't fly today. No one could calculate the ROI on it (because it's incalculable) and it would only be seen as an unnecessary cost both in building it and forever going forward.

I agree 1000% I love the way MK is set up. Many people do hate it, it's an instant gratification world, and the idea of having to take a Ferry or a Monorail to the park is not appealing to that crowd. But I love it. I really really love it.
