It wasn't working at all?
The 3D effects were working. It's difficult to explain, but I remember wearing the glasses and at times it worked and sometimes it's sorta works. Maybe the glasses I wore were dirty or the screen hasn't been updated. I heard some guests are able to wear there 3D glasses in front if there normal glasses. Or my eyesight has changed since I first seen it back in 2004 before my 9th birthday that year.

See, the first time I noticed that the 3D seemed off, I wondered about my eyesight too. I was wearing new contacts at the time (I've since had Lasik). But I now have much better vision, and the last time I saw Philharmagic, about 3 years ago, the 3D still looked off, and blurry. So I don't think our vision is the issue. I think the film needs a major upgrade, but TDO hasn't sprung for it yet. And again, that makes me wonder if that means that Philharmagic is going to be removed or overlaid with something stupid. None of the insiders here have mentioned anything like that, so let's hope that an upgrade IS in the cards. I'd really hate to lose Philharmagic.

I agree and this might not ever happen, but it would have been lovely to see Disney at least use modern CGI to give a more freesh and cleaner look to the characters. This was also one Disney's first attemptes at using a completely CGI film and one of the first time we seen Disney characters (Besides Mickey since the first time Mickey was in CG was in Muppet-Vision 3D) in CGI outside of there 2D animated form. Disney has really started to know to how translate 3D characters into there 2D forms since 2013 and especially in 2016 with the release of Zootopia. And back when the show was brand new, Disney was still learning about using CG in animated shows or films since Pixar was mostly used to it.

I would have to go for Living with the Land as my first choice, I find the information interesting and it is a nice little boat ride that fills a gap. Obviously the animatronics are a bit cheesy but it works. I am still yet to have a tour of the Backstage bit, would anyone recommend?
 
I still say the classic attractions such as the Carousel of Progress and the Tiki Room don't get the love they deserve. I know we are always looking for the newest and most thrilling attractions but the technological achievements and the attention to details in attractions like this are what really do it for me. I hope they never get replaced, or updated like the "Tiki Room: Under new Management" did a few years back. I was so happy when they returned it to the original show.

Torn on if I should say it bc it might make it crowded. But I really like the Finding a Nemo ride. Rarely has a long wait and kids can go on it.

I have to agree with People mover and Grand Fiesta tour. I also think Tom Sawyers Island is a great attraction area that gets little attention

This might be an odd choice, but I feel like while everyone throws their love at Wishes, I actually prefer Celebrate the Magic, despite its status as the opening act for Wishes.

I'm going to acknowledge everyone is entitled to their opinion and I respect your right to have that opinion, but I'm going to go ahead and ask you to delete your account.
ha. Thanks for the laugh.

Underrated? I'd have to say Indy Speedway. Much maligned by the normal WDWMagic crowd, but it was my first foray into actually driving a car .. It was the first attraction I had to ride every time I entered MK as a child, and I have enjoyed the same experience with my two daughters. It's not perfect, but it holds great memories of yearning for the future of what could be. For me, that's a win. Sure, it's outdated now but if you're a kid that has never tasted the forbidden fruit of navigating a vehicle, it was nirvana.

There are plenty that get attention and love but in this category my vote goes to Flights of Wonder in AK. An original show that inspires wonder and is just some good old fashioned fun for the whole family (as long as you pull the kids off their smartphones or tablets to enjoy it). Anyone remember when we could have fun without electronica, CGI or digital projection?
This is my vote :) Way back in 2010, my nephew was one of the people brought up on stage to take photos of the large bird flying at him (whatever bird it was at the time...) He was so fascinated by the show that he started studying birds, as soon as he turned 18, he started volunteering at a pet bird shelter (now he's the head volunteer) and fosters several of them. All because of Flights of Wonder.

Definitely! My friend and I did Behind the Seeds for the first time this year and loved it. Plus it's only what, $20 a person? Totally worth it.

It's a small world. Yes, it's one of Disney's most famous attractions, but people only seem to mention it so that they can bash the song and sweet atmosphere. But dang, that ride's a work of art. It's like floating through an elaborate, stylish, and kinetic doll exhibit. Hats off to Mary Blair.

Definately agree with Gran Fiesta Tour and Phillar Magic.. I always loved getting the bonus fastpass for Phillarmagic with the Peter Pan fastpass using the old system. It somehow felt like a bonus even though it was never needed. I'd also add the walking trails at AK..yes animal viewing is zooesque, but they are just stunningly beautiful and put you in another environment.

Not in the parks, but also the Disney Express. Something about stepping off your flight and immediatly becoming part of the Disney experience.
