Captain EO
Maelstrom (RIP)
Country Bear Jamboree
Legend of Captain Jack Sparrow (RIP)
Stitch's Great Escape
Astro Orbiter

There are others that I don't particularly care about but the above would be the ones I skip unless someone in my group REALLY wants to ride.

MK-stitch and country bears....I understand the criticism of PPF...but to me it's classic and one of my favorite movies. I just make sure I do it late at night and don't wait for it.
Epcot-mission space (lame), journey into imagination (just sad), and the worst is captain EO (creepy).
HS-lights, motor, action....one and done. Muppets vision 3d....not funny just obnoxious.
AK-nemo musical....Dinoland.

There are two groups of people, those who love the Muppets and those who don't. I like slapstick humor so I fall into the love category but my wife can't stand them.

As for Nemo at AK, the only saving grace for the show is it is 20 minutes of dark and air-conditioned time where I can take a nap.

Some of the attractions mentioned in this thread are only 90 seconds long, compared to the 45 minutes Universe of Energy takes out of my day, I would expect more - therefore ranking #1 as the most disappointed attraction. Kids enjoy Imagination (Which I always defend), Astro, Barnstormer, etc... But, who possibly walks off UOE and says, let's do that again?

But you don't have to plan out every moment. Just make advanced reservations for 3 rides and then more if you want to. The rest of your time can be spent unplanned and doing what you want.

And why are you looking at your phone so much? You set up the ride reservation then wait for that time to come. Doesn't require you to look at your phone, unless you use it as a watch. Then you would have to so you know when to get to the ride reservation...which you would have had to do under the old system as well.

Eh, I'll disagree with that one depending on the age of your kids. My kids (6 and twin 4 year olds) definitely needed a mid-day break. Because of that, you squeeze in your 3 FP+ reservations throughout the morning and then you squeeze in lunch someplace. Due to the size of the parks,

Soarin, without a doubt. Now take out all the hype, and then it is not too bad. But just don't get the hype.

I'm actually really surprised that Soarin' has come up. With most of the rinky rides like Dumbo, barnstormer, small world, etc, people like those purely for nostalgic purposes. 7DMT and SM, any six flags will beat those rides any day of the week. But soarin' is actually the type of ride that is very unique and I think it's probably one of the very few that you absolutely SHOULD do when there.

I found Stitch and Speedway attractions disappointing. Stitch because it's lame, and Speedway because it's something one can ride at just about any cheapo amusement park. Speedway certainly doesn't belong in Tomorrowland, and maybe nowhere on Disney property.

There are other attractions where I find some aspects of it disappointing, just not the entire attraction...
Seven Dwarfs Mine Train: too short of a ride given the current wait times. When wait times come down, it will be worth riding.
Journey of the Little Mermaid: too many non-show elements visible. Seems pretty nice otherwise, hope it will get better.
Mission: Space: LOVE the ride, the movie is seriously dated.

Also hate that stupid, gigantic, LOUD stage in Tomorrowland. It's beyond disappointing, it's annoying!

The projection faces are how pretty much all the new-gen AAs are being done, to great effect. From Little Mermaid to Storytime with Belle and now Mine Train, they're using projections to give the eyes and mouths a lot of life while still being very much a true (and very advanced) animatronic.

I disagree. Although some of them are interesting like the ones in Storytime with Belle, I don't find them to be a solution for all new animatronics.

Hmm, there has to be something to this based on physics. Maybe the 2.5G pull isn't perceived as greatly by lighter or maybe shorter people? Would like to hear if kids are unaffected as well. Maybe height as well? I'm 6'3 and it feels like all the blood rushes out of my head. Maybe shorter people don't experience the blood rush as bad.

What I mean is that that's what the Imagineers are using for many of the new attractions. I'm not stating a personal preference, I'm just saying that they're the new-gen AAs that are being utilized.
