I can agree with most of your choices, BUT in MK, you can’t go there without:
iasw, Pooh and Pan…I would include 7DMT too, but could skip:
TSI
SFR Tree House
Philharmagic
Buzz
Laugh Factory
CBJ

We go on all of these on every trip, but I could understand how someone could skip these…

HWD:
It’s already a half day park, but with SDD and MMRRR, now it’s a really short visit lol, me? I could ship ST, & Indy…

Fortunately I don’t avoid much so Im getting my moneys worth on any day any Park.

MK
Mad Tea Party
Barnstormer
Speedway
Prince Charming Carrousel
Dumbo

DHS
Alien Saucer

EP
Frozen
Living with the Land

AK
Tricera Top

But on days when I have extra time and have done all that I want or at the end of extended trips after I’ve done everything I wanted to do I may even do those things that normally were avoided.

I do everything whilst there, gotta get that moneys worth. But the rides I would like to skip/don't really care for..

Magic Kingdom
Country Bear Jamboree
Tom Sawyer Island
Liberty Square Riverboat
Hall of Presidents
Enchanted Tales with Belle

EPCOT
All Circlevision shows
Mission Space
Gran Fiesta Tour
American Adventure

Hollywood Studios
Muppets 3D
Indiana Jones Stunt Show
MF Smugglers Run
LM's Racing Academy

Animal Kingdom
Na'vi River Journey

Also don't care for character meets other than the obligatory Mickey Mouse photo. Face character interactions are always awkward and cringey and then the fur characters make me anxious as I don't know what they're going to do and when they gesture it's not always obvious what they want, which makes for more awkward situations.

MK:
Magic Carpets (In a terrible spot and Aladdin deserves so much more)
Speedway (as a childless adult i dont feel the need to ever do this again)

Epcot:
Beauty and the Beast sing a long (the WORST “attraction/show” in WDW)

HS:
Beauty and the Beast show (2nd worst…a major show change/ update would do wonders)
Alien Swirling Saucers (one and done)
Racing Academy (haven’t done it yet)

AK:
Triceratops Spin
Nemo Show (loved the OG and i hope this gets changed out with all of the supposed changes coming to this part of AK)

Magic Kingdom I would say for sure Mad Tea Party. It is a classic "do it once you've done it 1000 times" type of thing. Tomorrowland Speedway, never do it. If you go to Disneyland and do the Autopia then that is worth it though.

I missed Aladdin's Magic Carpet ride last trip, but to be honest we always do it. Simply because there is too long of a line with Dumbo and never much of one with Aladdin.

In the Parks
No
The only rides that are on an absolute Won't Do list for me are the ones that make me sick: Tea Cups, Alien Swirling Saucers, Star Tours, Mission Space (I forget the color that is intense).

There are several rides/attractions that are not on my priority list, but I will do them if I just feel nostalgic or if we have grandkids or WDW first timers with us.

The planner in me creates a list of all rides/attractions, checks which ones we want to do based on those attending with me and what gets the most "I want to do this one".

There is not much that I flat out refuse to do, but for the record.

MK: I cannot remember the last time I was on the Speedway, the Carousel, Magic Carpets or the Tea Cups.
The Astro Orbiter is also something that I rarely go on (but I know I did it sometime in the last 8 years or so, which beats out all the others above)
The Barnstormer is something that if we walk by and there is no wait, I will jam my 6'4" frame into it just for kicks

EPCOT: Nothing is really a hard pass. The films are usually far between but I have seen all within the last decade. Now that the Maelstrom is Frozen, I really have no desire to wait in the line.

AK: Cant remember the last time I was on Kali River Rapids. I really don't like Dinosaur. I just rarely find it worth the wait (but I have been on it in maybe the last 5 years or so). Most of the time we blow right past Dinoland, but again, sometime in the last 5 years I have been on the rides in that area.

DHS: I skip most of the stage shows. Everything else is dependent on wait times.

MK: Astro Orbiter (elevator) and Mad Tea Party (spinning) Not interested in Tron.

EPCOT: Mission Space (claustrophobic and motion sickness) and Guardians (will do, but rarely)

HS: RNRC (inversion might knock me out), Tower of Terror (elevators are a phobia so its literally built around a phobia), Star Tours (motion sickness)

AK: Tough to Be a Bug (won't do it alone and my kids would hate it) Flight of Passage (ride vehicle), and I haven't done Everest by circumstance

Skipping the American Adventure is a travesty.

This is a very interesting thread. Now that we are locals, I suppose we do have a "skip" list.

MK
Most everything in Fantasyland except 7DMT and Small World
Barnstormer
Tom Sawyer's Island

EPCOT
The "films"

HS
Muppets 3D
Walt Disney Story (again: "films")
Racing Academy

AK
Tough to be a Bug
Kali River Rapids

A parallel to this thread would be: what we do every time we are in a given park...
