(Intentionally) Bad WDW Ideas

My wife and I were having fun with this thought experiment. What's the worst WDW restaurant/attraction that you can think of?

Here's what we came up with...

A new restaurant themed around Disney's holiday classic "The Santa Clause!" Guests can relive the magical moment when Scott Calvin and Charlie visit the local Denny's after burning the Thanksgiving turkey. Enjoy classic Denny's menu items (but no chocolate milk!) within an immersive value-diner environment complete with paid-actors posing as divorced fathers! Coming soon to Disney's Hollywood Studios!

I’ve never eaten there, so I can’t give an opinion on the food, but I’ve always found the Coral Reef restaurant a little odd. Eating seafood while fish are swimming in the nearby tanks seems odd and in keeping with the whole Nemo theme of the pavilion, aren’t fish supposed to be friends, not food? I am not bashing those who eat seafood, just saying that the context of the restaurant in that pavilion doesn’t mesh well.

I second this. I am not really able to eat seafood at this restaurant because of the living seafood swimming in a tank nearby. I always stick with the turf menu at the restaurant.

Honestly it would be like eating chicken in a chicken house or surrounded by cows eating steak.. but because its seafood people don't feel the same.. must be all those years of seeing lobsters in a tank at seafood restaurants

Frontierland rethemed to the Lone Ranger Movie. Wish they made Thunder Mesa? Too bad here's Johnny Depp as a Native American stereotype! Tomorrowland split into John Carter of Mars and that Tomorrowland movie themed lands. Redoing the Haunted Mansion and Country Bears to be like their movies. If people thought Epcot was getting too many IPs, this would make their heads explode.

As long as it also includes the room full of Japanese businessmen, I'd be fine with that.

Here's an idea: The Meh Movie Ride. Watch as we travel through scenes of Disney's biggest flops and least remebered movies. Remember the cows from that one movie? Or the live action Country Bears? No? Well here's your chance to say "Oh yeah, that movie exists."

The Queue. With a wait time that always reads 15 minutes, that fools you into entering the attraction. A Disney attraction that you enter that never leads you to your ride car. An endless series of turns and switchbacks that makes you think you are getting closer to the loading zone but never does. After wasting hours of moving through you get dumped out into a gift shop.

If we are dumb enough to keep making friends out of what was designed as our food, we are going to starve to death. Pretty soon we will have some people that can hear veggies scream as you prepare them for dinner. The raw vegetables are usually the loudest.

There is a good chance that the seafood places with live fish, etc. probably smell a lot better then a chicken coup or a cow barn. It would make the concern about Monorail "odors" seem flowery fresh.

Sort of like the early days of Universal Orlando. You would weave back and forth for hours and just when you thought that you were almost at the ride, they would throw in yet another large "tent" with 1000 people switchbacks.

journey into no imagination
think journey into your imagination from 99 but no nigel channing, no sets, no imageworks, and no theater. the "ride" is a queue and a literal dark ride.

I get it! We just use our imagination to imagine something being there. Great idea! Along the same idea as "Sounds Dangerous".
Yet, another attraction that flew over the heads of most sharp as a tack guests. Just couldn't understand that it was in the sound effects building and the having you listen to the movie you really understood what was happening just by the sounds. Great idea... wrong audience.
