We skipped the One Mans Dream exhibit because my brothers girlfriend didn't want to go to it and we had other things to do...I sure wish we hadn't though. Could someone tell me if now that the 100 years of magic celebration is over they have kept the Walt Disney exhibit? Thanks! :)

Wow, some people skip a lot of stuff, Id feel bad missing all that.

Heres what I usually skip.

MK
Dumbo (lame)
Aladin (oh s***, werent these elephants yesterday?)
20,000 leagues under the sea.....not because I want to, but because they wont let me.
The Speedway--I inhale enough exhaust fumes, and have more fun on the tram ride in.
Astro orbiter. (oh shoot, they elevated Dumbo)
Buzz lightyear--I cry because DreamFlight used to be there.
Country Bear Jamboree--Reminds of the bar I got beat up at in Texas.
Tom Sawyers island. Saw a kid peeing there once, could never go back, but the ride out there was always fun.

Epcot
Honey I shrunk the kids

MGM
All the shows, though I skip them all over the parks.
Backlot tours--this hasnt been fun in years, and its now painfully obvious whats going to happen n the canyon. "Hey-do you think that cinged truck might catch fire?"


Thats about it. I couldnt live with myself if I skipped any of the countries, or rides. The shows, a few of them I like, but a lot of them I just cant sit through more than once. But all in all, it is all Disney, and if I have the time...theres not a thing there I would willingly pass up. except Dumbo.

I totally disagree. I like the treehouse. It's a slow-paced attraction. For those of us that are older and have a fondness for the movie (a Disney classic), the treehouse is a way to step back to a simpler time. Incidentally, every time I've been, the treehouse has been crowded. It's a relatively cheap attraction that doesn't really take up much space. I don't think it will be going away anytime soon.

I definitely agree with you, Skip! The Swiss Family Tree House is place to get away from the hussle and bussle of the rest of the park. Swiss Family Robinson is one of my favorite movies, also, so it's fun to go into a world in which you could once imagine yourself living as a child.

I believe that they have kept open One Man's Dream at MGM... I hope so, anyway! I would love to walk through that again. None of my friends wanted to go with me to One Man's Dream, so I just went alone! :)

Im so sad to see so many skiping my beloved Wonders of Life. If you have never seen Cranium Command then I suggest seeing it. I can understand maybe not wanting to ride Body Wars...but going into Wonders for Cranium is reason enough for me. Cranium Command is just a funny show, and its not like you don't have anything better to do with your day at Epcot anyways. What do you want to catch all five shows of Mo Rockin' or something. And if you can't find any humor in Cranium Command you must have a dull sense of humor.

I usually skip the movie at Norway after the Maelstrom ride,and the UK pavillion ,because its dull.They should had a ride or show to spruce it up a little instead of bieng just a driking hole for UK traveliers.

But the UK is dull and full of drinking holes! If you made it more exciting then it wouldn't represent the UK.

There are many things I skip every time I visit, but Hall of Presidents is #1 on that list. I haven't seen HOP since the '70s! On the other hand, I'm surprised a lot of you skip Morocco. We always make it a point to wander the back alleys there, since I'm a sucker for that architecture.
Since there isn't a ride I guess I can understand the temptation to skip it I suppose...

Hehe, I was just seeing how many people would catch it :) It's my favorite attraction of all time!

(Honestly Scott and MicBat...do you possibly think that I could post even ONCE seriously???)

If I had my choice, I'd never skip anything except for Innoventions and the Wonders of Life Pavilion. But these are the things that I miss due to default and the reasons why.


EPCOT
- Wonders of Life Pavilion - gross, that ride makes me sick
- Innoventions - we usually go, boyfriend likes it...
**Completely confused on why ANYONE would skip the world showcase...


Magic Kingdom
- Tomorrowland Speedway - I want to go, boyfriend doesn't... long lines make me drop the argument before it began
- Teacups - I want to go, boyfriend will puke on me...
- Astro Orbiter - see Teacups
- Aladdin's Carpets - see Teacups
- Tom Sawyer's Island - We've been once... always on the agenda but never get over there.
- Timekeeper - not thrilled about this attraction
- Main Street transport - I'd love to but they never seem to be there when we are
- Hall of Presidents - sometimes we go to cool off. Not because we like it. I also heard that one of the presidents was real so we always try to figure out which one... but I think it's a lie.
- Swiss Family Treehouse - I'm lazy.

MGM
- Voyage of the Little Mermaid - but I do like it, it's cute
- Playhouse Disney - I don't like that rollie pollie thing but I should check it out at least once
- Star Wars - see teacups

Animal Kingdom
- Conservation Station - I'd like to but we always forget
- Pochahontas and her Forest Friends
- Lion King Show - on both of these, we didn't even know they were there and found out too late on our last vacation! Now we will go for sure next time :)


Honestly, I am up for anything and everything at these parks and only skip two things because I actually don't like them.

well, somewhere hidden under the bowels of the freaky exterior is a soft and serious side.
