Top-10 Underrated Aspects Of WDW That I Absolutely LOVE

[melflip8]

6). Staying Off Property
*GASP* "Did Bob just say the dirty word?? Yes, I believe he did. Off property? And you call yourself a true WDW'er."
While not something we do every trip, lo and behold we've stayed off property quite a few times. And to be frank, (even though I'm Bob), there have never been any bad experiences so far. While we miss the immersiveness of the WDW resorts and sleeping in "The World", it's amazing how much $$$ one can save when doing a vacation off property. We have had some great stays at off-site properties while still being in Disney's backyard.

Being a FL resident, we often have to stay off property in order to just be able to afford staying overnight at all! We LOVE the Hilton Lake Buena Vista (for EMH) and the Hilton Bonnet Creek (for their pool on HOT summer days!).

if that's in reference to her being gay, there's a decent chance i'm going to get kicked out of here for telling you a few things about yourself.

Oh my! I hope not!

WDWRR- My Mom's favorite.
COP- The song is catchy!
Tiki Room- The song is fun to sing!
Monorail- My Mom loves riding the loop just for fun!
Lights Motors Action!- Yes I know, but my boys and hubby love it!
IASW- The song brings back memories, and I have a picture of my Dad on the boat singing it to the boys priceless!
Aladdin's Magic Carpets- Yes I know, it needs to be in a different place, but my boys love it, and the spitting camels are funny!
TTA (Peoplemover)- My Mom loves this one too!
Astro Orbiter- I hate the wait/elevator, but my boys love flying high over Tomorrowland, especially at night!
Liberty Square Riverboat- Listen to the narration, and enjoy waving to people!

Yet another top-10 list to go along with "Top-10 Popular Aspects Of WDW That I Absolutely HATE."
These are the top-10 underrated things at WDW that we simply love and try to make a must-do on any trip. Starting with #10 and working our way up:

10). Mini-Golf

Agree!

9). Ellen's Energy Adventure

Semi-agree but I have to be in the right mood for it for some reason

8). Water Taxi's
Absolutely 100% agree - one of the reasons POR is one of my favourite resorts is the ride to DTD

7). Swiss Family Robinson Treehouse
I wish more of my travelmates wanted to do this one. I usually leave them in the Tiki Room while I go it alone.

6). Staying Off Property
You shut your mouth you just shut it right now you blasphemer!!!!

5). Enchanted Tiki Room
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! I would rather hear nails on a chalkboard, or a screaming baby or have a really, REALLY itchy nether region. Yes, I would take pubic lice over the Tiki Room any day. I cringe even just thinking about it.

4). Hall Of Presidents
One of the best spots to nap in all of WDW 2nd only to The American Adventure....complete snorefest. Though take what I say with a grain of salt since I'm not American.

3). Resort Hopping
we're back on track - I could take a full day of nothing but resort hopping and be a happy, happy little tiger

2). Tom Sawyer's Island
hmmmm...I haven't been on my last 4 trips but it was fun when my BF and I went a few years back. Kind of like a big playground

And the #1 underrated thing at WDW which we simply love...

1). Carousel Of Progress
This classic attraction needs no explanation. Simply one of Walt's best.

Yup...You got it!

Share your own if you'd like.

For me...here's a top three anyway

Benches:
Yes, I said benches. I love to grab a premium Mickey bar or a frozen lemonade and sit in each park for at least an hour and just people watch. A couple deep breaths and a nice treat lets me enjoy the sights, sounds, tastes and smells and sometimes that's the point where I really feel like I'm at Disney

Walt Disney World Railroad:
The station is a lovely building and the full train ride lets you sit, be outside, relax and enjoy the sites. Too many people skip this or consider it just a mode of transportation rather than an attraction.

Architecture:
Too many people miss the details in the buildings from the gargoyles on the castle to the handmade tiles in Morocco

I like the Jungle Cruise. Who doesn't like to see the backside of water?

LOVE Jungle Cruise. I didn't include it on my list because I've never thought of it being an "underrated" attraction, but rather one of the beloved, popular classics. No WDW trip is complete without a trip on the rivers of JC.

I like this top 10 much better! I like all of them (but I don't stay off property anymore)

I agree classic to those of us that have been going for years and love the parks. Lots of park newbies don't "get" this ride.

I am a fan of the Swiss Family Robinson Tree House too. My family sadly is not.
