In your opinion? I'm going to go with Dinoland excluding Dinosaur. Just not Disney looking at all tacky looking carnival atmosphere IMO.

(braces for flaming)...my real and HUGE objection is that they put it where they did and blocked what really should be the icon of the park. The Chinese Theater sets the tone of HS and really is to the park what the castle is to MK. You enter, look down a long street and there it is (or should be)...the one item that should be the epitome of that park. Instead TDO seemed to think it was best to stare longingly at an over the top gift shop

Dinoland is mostly a complete eyesore, yes! But at least you can sorta pretend Dinoland is not there.
Not so much with the BAH, the hat that is to DHS what Miley Cyrus on a wrecking ball is to pop music and three millenia of Western culture in general.
But the biggest eyesore of them all must surely be Fulton's massive neon signs on a pretty 19th century steamboat. Advertising as it were the complete absense of respect for their surroundings. If a restaurant does not respect its surroundings, it does not respect its guests. A poor management culture to advertise when you serve seafood, which kills when you take shortcuts. If you are willing skimp on re-installing a paddle wheel on a paddlewheel ship, you will skimp on food quality.

In the regard as to how easy it would be to fix: The interior queue of Buzz Lightyear SRS. It has always been filthy, but this month it was the worst I have seen it. I can not think of another area of the resort that I see this consistently. How hard is it to send someone through with a broom and a dustpan?

That damn BAH is the worst...your supposed to feel like you're in an old Hollywood that never was and you look down Hollywood blvd and wham a big sorcerer hat instead of the Chinese theater completely kills the vibe
While I am not a fan of the BAH at all, it is just in the wrong place. I'm not sure what the right place is...
And while I don't think Dinoland fits at Disney, it is well themed for it's backstory. Not the best backstory ever, but it accomplishes what it is supposed to (and can be avoided except when DD wants to do Primeval).
I consider an eyesore something that looks messy/dirty. And for me that would be Stolport. When you drive past the runway you get a great view of a mish-mash of construction trailers, rusty old storage bins, new ride materials, old ride rubbish, parked 18-wheelers, maybe a few unplanted trees, and random other things. Different every time you drive past, but still definitely not show ready!
While I might put the construction work next between OKW and Bonnet Creek Parkway up there also, I have faith that despite the 5 years that it has been ongoing maybe it will be finished at some point. I think Stolport is permanently going to be what it is.

I have to say that the actual design of the hat is not objectionable and I would not mind seeing the BAH somewhere else within the parks as the design and whimsy of it is, in fact nice

Uh oh. Here we go again.

It's a tie between the BAH and Rapunzel's Tower in MK. BAH I think would fit nicely in Downtown Disney.
The Rapunzel Tower wouldn't look so bad if it was covered by more trees near The Haunted Mansion area. The mansion looks almost overshadowed by it, not to mention it ruined the transition from Liberty Square to Fantasyland.

An interesting choice. Rapunzel Tower is good looking on it's own, but maybe you have a point. It does hurt the land to land transition.

Yeah, the whole Tangled area is very well themed and looks fantastic, but it transititions into Liberty Square rather quickly.

It is a toss up between the DHS Hat and the Leave a Legacy at Epcot. The hat isn't so bad, but like others pointed out it is just in the wrong spot. And the Leave a Legacy things just look like tombstones in the entrance of Epcot.
