What attractions at which parks should you not worry about if you missed?
For example, I have heard these so far:
MK: Liberty Belle Riverboat
Epcot: Innoventions
AK: Rafiki's Planet Watch
MGM: Sounds Dangerous
What do you think can be missed at each park w/ no major loss?

MK-Country Bear Jamboree, Stitch's Great Escape, Enchanted Tiki Room
EPCOT-Honey I shrunk the Audience (old and outdated, try it if you never have), Cranium Command, and Ellens Energy Encounter (45 mins long) are attractions that I typically steer clear of.
MGM-Backlot Tour
AK- Ditto on Rafiki's Planet Watch

Sorry for the double post, but I forgot to mention that I think you should definitely see "The festival of the Lion King" at AK I find it to be an awesome show and a good break from the scorching heat at AK

I don't know. I think that is a changing target depending on the length of your trip, who you are with and when you are going back.

I really don't want to put down any ride because I'm sure like most people here :wave: I really love the whole WDW experience. (I'm not trying to say that any other person posting is putting down other rides.)

However since you asked here are a few on my list that I think it is no great deal if I miss it.

MK: Indy Speedway (this one I would actually be okay with never riding again)

EC: Honey I Shrunk the Audience (Only because I missed it last time and realized that I had seen it so many times that maybe it's getting a little old for me. I would be happy to make it a must see again if it was updated)

DS: Sounds Dangerous (Once was good for me)

AK: Triceritops Whirl

I know you didn't ask, but here are my must sees!

MK: Peter Pan (I'll never outgrow this ride)
EC: World Showcase in general just love walking around and seeing everything.
DS: MuppetVision 3-D (More Muppets in the park please!)
AK: Flights of Wonder (we will actually try to catch a couple of shows)

If you haven't been before, then I would suggest trying to hit as much as possible. Don't rule something out because some people (like myself) dislike certain attractions. I, for example, think Stitch's Great Escape! and Sounds Dangerous are fun and I do both more than once...time willing. But if you have been, these are the ones I'd skip and not feel at all bad about it:

Lights, Motors, Action - An hour in the hot, blazing Sun you'll never get back.
Test Track - You probably drove a car to get to Epcot. Why wait for a ride that does exactly the same thing?
Under New Management - Wait to see the original at Disneyland.
The Narnia ad - It's an ad. 'Nuff said.
Tower of Terror - Nice theming; fun video; lame ride.
Rock n' Rollercoaster - Unless you can skip the preshow and have an Ipod to cover the painful ride audio.
Dumbo - Why wait when there are 3 clones of it with no line?
The Carousel - Fun, but easily skipped since you can do that at any carnival.
Chester n' Hester's Dino-Rama! - Because it IS a carnival.
Disney-MGM's Fantasmic! - Wait to see it at Disneyland.
The current Tram Tour - A pale, shallow shell of its former self.
The current Animation Building - Bring back the animators!

ed: I forgot about Kali River Rapids. Walk through the queue for the theming, skip the uninteresting ride (and stay dry!).

I think you should see everything at least once. Then, you can make up your own mind. Example, I think the Figment ride is the worst thing in any park. However, when I stated that on a different thread, I got my head taken off. There are plenty of people that LOVE Figment (I still don't get it).

It's a little different for me now. Since I was there for 5 months, visiting at least one park almost every day, I've done almost everything. Most things I've done alot. Plus some lengthy visits since then, I can miss almost anything and be okay, it's a different scale for me. Like my last trip. I was there for a week and a half and didn't do Thunder Mountain even once. So there are rides I have to do, multiple times if possible, those I have to try and do at least once, those that are worth doing if I have time, those I'll live if I miss, and those I avoid like the plague. So, trying to think as someone who has a little less time to spend there, I'd be fine if I didn't do:

Kingdom
Tiki Room (avoid)
Magic Carpets of Aladdin
Hall of Presidents
Snow White
Peter Pan
Small World
Winnie the Pooh
Dumbo (avoid)
Barnstormer (avoid)
Stitch's Great Escape (avoid)
Carousel of Progress
Astro Orbiters
Indy Motor Speedway

Epcot
Ellen's Energy Adventure (avoid)
Mission: Space
Honey I Shrunk the Audience
Living with the Land
Any show in World Showcase
Maelstrom


MGM
Anything that's not Muppets, Star Tours, Great Movie Ride, Rockin' Rollercoaster or Tower of Terror.

DAK
Pocahantas and her Animal Friends (still haven't done it)
Triceritops Spin
Kali River Rapids

There are things I avoid because I have too............:hurl: . I usally skip the speedway, even the kids dont like it. Sounds Dangerous is boring. I usally dont go in the Hall of Presidents. Have never been on the River boat, and really dont care to. Try what you can and have fun. Tot is a must if you can handle it. Mission Space is also great, I for one would donate a body part before I ever go on it again.........but it is amazing if you can handle it. Have fun:)

I think you have to split the question into two parts:

A. What attractions would someone never miss if they never saw them even once?
and
B. What attractions are worth seeing once, but not any more- skip it from then on?

For me, it's these:

Attractions that would never be missed:

Stitch's Great Escape
Sounds Dangerous

Attractions worth seeing only once then skip:

Lights, Motors, Action
Indiana Jones
Beauty and the Beast Show

Wow.
After typing this, I just realized that 4 of the 5 attractions I listed are in the MGM Studios park. Strange.
