My Unpopular WDW Opinion - post yours!

[GVentola]

I don't understand people who dress up to go into the parks. I must be wearing tshirt, shorts, tennis shoes, as if I'm about to run a half marathon. How people get by in dresses and nice sandals is beyond me. I look like a chia pet after about an hour inside the parks.

You must've come during the "Dapper Days" fan event. I thought about joining in, but I'm not sure what to wear or if I even have anything appropriate to fit the term "dapper". I usually dress like you.

Universal Studios is way better than Walt Disney World.

I've got another one!

I love when attractions exclusive to one resort get cloned for another resort to enjoy. More people get to enjoy great attractions.

I do not like when Disney half- the job and delivers a project that is inferior to the original. With that being said, I think Mission: Breakout was a great idea. DCA's ToT was not half the ride the DHS version is and should have never been opened.

If that's not controversial to you, I wouldn't bat an eye if PotC in the Magic Kingdom was closed and replaced with the original planned Aztec ride or a modernized Western River Expedition. Florida's PotC was so hastily put together that the DL version is better in absolutely every way.

There needs to be more steampunk in Frontierland. Like a ride where you experience some crazed tinker's fantastic new contraptions.

Carousel of Progress is probably the best attraction in Magic Kingdom...IMO of course.

Hmmm...

Haunted Mansion, Soarin, Peter Pan, and 7 dwarfs mine train SUCK!
Dole Whips are disgusting
Don't understand why fireworks are such a big deal
Don't understand why Chef Mickey's is so popular.
I love Country Bears
I'm more excited to go to Disney Springs to go to Zara than anything else

I think the Haunted Mansion's ok, but not a must do for me.

New Fantasyland at Disneyland in 1983 is vastly superior to New Fantasyland MK 2012.

I don't think that's an unpopular opinion tho.

It's not. New Fantasyland at WDW was a total flop. Oh, shocker Iger was the CEO of a failed park expansion initiative.

DAK has three attractions better than anything MK has

100% true

 

[WEDwaydatamover]

Nobody is going to agree with this but TDO is no bueno. They seem to ruin everything they get their calculators and spreadsheets on.

Kilimanjaro, Everest, and Flight of Passage?

'Wonders of Life' was a lame Pavilion.
Never really understood the appeal, as it seemed somewhat 'dated' even when it opened new in the 1990s.
It was very much a product of its time, which may have been why i didn't care much for it.
In my opinion, it didn't 'fit' into EPCOT Center as well as the other more timeless Pavilion concepts.

Now I said it was a lame Pavillion, but it DID have two very entertaining and fun Attractions - 'Body Wars' and 'Cranium Command'.
'Body Wars' for me was a far more exciting experience then 'Star Tours', and 'Cranium' was comedy gold in just the pre-show.
Even with those two gems, the Pavilion as a whole expression never impressed or enthused me.

Many Epcot fans rave about it...but it never struck me as anything special, and I consider myself to be a serious EPCOT Center geek.
All the other Pavilions awed and inspired...and then there was 'Wonders of Life'.
Colorful, yes.
'Empty' in some regards, yes...to me anyway.

I wish they had a walking path from Animal Kingdom Lodge to Animal Kingdom.

Well said Figments Friend! When I was 11 years old and saw the "coming soon" to EPCOT Center on the Disney Channel I knew Wonders of Yawn was crap then.

Great job Barry Braverman.
And yes... Tony Baxter is the real deal.
