Unpopular opinions about the parks?

Haunted Mansion is better at MK than DL, hitchhiking ghosts and all (when they work). I also think MK has better versions of Big Thunder, Space, and Jungle Cruise but opinions on those seem to be more evenly split.
I don't miss the Skyway one bit.
I do miss the Studio Backlot Tour, even when it was whittled down to just Catastrophe Canyon, a handful of props, and the costuming department.
Everything about Toy Story Land is "meh" at best.
Hollywood Brown Derby is overrated.
I miss seeing World Showcase without festival booths.
I'm over the AK Finding Nemo show at this point.
While there are certainly some "misses," I think Quick Service dining at WDW is generally pretty underrated.

I wholeheartedly agree. Food at the other Orlando parks are abysmal more expensive and has atrocious service. I'll complain about all the other WDW changes/policies, but I'll defend their quick service operations.

As someone who moved to Celebration about a year ago, I spend more time at the parks simply because of the quality of the QSR options and their decent pricing.

However, Table Service is highly overrated at WDW.

Agree about quick service! Overall I think there are so many unique options. I got back from a trip this past March and my mom was like, you must be happy to home eating real food! I asked her what she meant and she said, aren’t you tired of eating burgers and hot dogs? Literally didn’t eat one burger or hot dog the entire week 🤦🏻‍♀️

The queue seemed a bit more interesting to me. The ride itself felt a little longer and faster, though I may have lucked out being further back. And I like the rolling effect during the earthquake, and how you pass through the town during the ride rather than at the end after you've slowed down. And I think I slightly prefer its location in proximity to the Rivers of America compared to Disneyland's. Both versions are great though; of all the "duplicate" rides it's probably the one that I rank the tightest compared to each other.

I do admit that with both it and Space Mountain, because I go to Disneyland so much more often, their tracks are more familiar, so it's very possible that WDW's seem more "exciting" to me because they aren't as predictable to me.

alright I've got another one: I don't really like Iger any more than I liked Chapek. $lappie was just an angrier, dumber, balder, and somewhat incompetent/socially inept version of the Original Bob. He's just like IPger in his singular goal of 'striving for mediocrity'

I'm not sure that is an unpopular opinion. Iger seems like a good pitch man or spinner but that's about as far as I would go on his abilities. Unless we are counting having the ability to single-handedly irritate Disney fans beyond all measure.

fair enough, I was thinking the same. I guess it depends on who you're talking about. I have heard multiple posters on the site say that Iger was bad, but Chapek was worse. I personally disagree with that... for me as a consumer the two are basically interchangable.
