COMPLETELY AGREE! These are two of my all-time favorites! In fact, to me a Disney trip is not complete until I have gone on these two rides! There are many rides I can skip no problem (Prince Charming Carosel, Snow White Scary Adventures, the Norway ride, Test Track, even Pirates of the Carribean). But, I cannot skip these two rides.

I'm going to be controversial and say SGE... just purely on the fact that it is so hated. But really, if AE never existed and we all stumbled upon SGE, while it certainly wouldn't be a favorite, is it as bad as the reaction on the boards?

...I know, I know... yes.

Personally, I donlt think SGE stinks half as much as people say it does. :shrug:

Boring, dull...sure. But not the obnoxious insult to common sense and good taste which it is said to be.
The problem with SGE is that it is build on the infrastructure, on the idea, of a scary attraction. Sound and darkness. ('It's dark...a shadow in the corner...a sound right behind you...')
But then toned down so as not to be scary at all. Which defeats the entire object. :brick:

Nor is SGE a fun tribute to Stitch - whom I consider a genuinily great character.

SGE is a bit of an in-betweener, it can't really choose what it wants to be and so ends up being very bland indeed. I can sit it out, but I'm not truly entertained.

First off, I'll start by saying that I don't know how a ride can be overlooked when you have a guide map in front of you. I guess if you run out of time you will miss the ones that don't pop out at you, but oh well.

For me, I agree with the Swiss Family Treehouse. My wife isn't a fan of heights so she practically ran through this thing without looking around. There are some great photo spots at the top of the tree. I can only imagine the fireworks would look lovely up there. And you are.........high! Real high. I love it. It almost is as if someone could live in that tree. Plus there are things like hidden mickeys that not everyone realizes. I never miss it.

Country Bear Jamboree - Has a charm that can't be replaced.

Small World - Underrated? I think so. I know about 50% of people hate it and the others are me and love it, but how can your heart not warm up with that song? It is classic Disney.

Carousel of Progress - Definitely underrated. Straight out of Walt's mind.

WEDWay People Mover or Philharmagic. The latter being totally underrated - I would put it was the second best show, behind FotLK, in WDW.

Simply based on the lack of lines when we visit. We always visit at Peak times (Easter, mid-summer, and Christmas) so anything less than 20 minutes strikes me as undervalued in some way.

Magic Kingdom - Swiss Family Treehouse, Peoplemover. The Peoplemover pictures from each trip are some of the most treasured.

EPCOT - Living with the Land, Kim Possible missions (I'm really partial to the UK one)

Studios - Great Movie Ride, MuppetVision 3D

Animal Kingdom - Rafiki's Planet Watch, both jungle walks

Top three, for me anyway
Universe of Energy (which I still love, having had to endure the rather excruciating original just to hear the great songs)

Tom Sawyer Island (great attention to details and theme and just plain fun...especially first thing in the morning)

Great Movie Ride (still a classic, and well done dark ride)

People may laught but I think THe Tomorrow Land tranist authority is under rated.

There is never much of a line (atleast whem im there) it brings you around to all of tomorrow land and shows you some pretty cool things.
