Favourite 'Overlooked' Attraction

[kiltedwarrior]

Leaving aside all the major crowd pulling attractions, which of the less glamourised and often overlooked attractions do you always find yourself visiting on a trip to WDW?
For me, im a big fan of the TTA in Tomorrowland, also like the Shooting Arcade in Frontierland (even if it is hard to miss the targets :hehe: ) Sounds Dangerous in MGM is great too if you want a quick nap :p

[JuniorMickey]

I LOVE the TTA. I've gotten some great castle pictures while on there. You have to have a bit of a steady hand though.

I'd also have to say Rafiki's Planet Watch at AK - it's a great spot for a couple of characters and if you're lucky, there will be something going on in the med area

[PaulaK]

The kids always have to go on the remote control boats near the jungle cruise and TTA is a must at least 2 or 3 times each trip. :D

[joanne]

TTA is nice for a relaxing & cooling break :yes:
Only ever been to RPW once a few years back, must go back there again and have a proper look round :)

I love the little 'hidden' things around the parks, like the well near Indy where you can pull the rope :hehe: Or the key under the mat at Muppet Vision. Things that most people overlook unless they know they are there.

[MystikPiglit]

Big fan of TTA and Shootin' gallery here too. :D

When we were in AK last time we found a place on a bridge were you can squirt water on ride participants. :clap: :lol:

I remember going round Kali one time and had almost reached the end with nothing more than a light sprinking. Sadly, there just happened to be a crack unit of 'squirters' on the bridge that day, and i took several direct hits :thunder: :rain: :lol:

[DisneyObsessed3]

I love The Hall of Presidents. always seems to not have very many people inside, I even have friends who didnt even know it was there!

Probably wasn't me..... :D

DH also likes the Shooting Arcade in Frontierland. Me and DS always head for the Swiss Family Robinson Tree House in Adventureland especially just as the park is going dark.

[Tinker]

I love TTA , so I always take a relaxing break to ride it . But your asking overlooked attractions , ( MK ) I'd say Tom Sawyer Island , Shooting Arcade , I overlooked the Liberty Ferry this time, meant to get on it and Hall of Presidents, which I love . Astro Orbiter in Tomorrowland .
Epcot Ellen's world Of Energy
MGM Sounds Dangerous Borrring
AK Rafiki's , although I did go there this trip . Saw Jiminy Cricket & Pochantos and a meer cat being groomed . Very Interesting .

[tracyw]

Definately TTA, although it doesn't look as if us look "overlook" it, and Carousel of progress for us!

[JasonC]

another one for TTA here - it's nice to ride in the middle of hot summer afternoon :thumbs:

[bouncytigger]

umm mabey ellens adventure. i mean no one seems to like it but we went on and probably will again next year because of no lines. and air-conditioning.. Heehee

[lizzx10r]

Ellen at Epcot and TTA at MK and One mans dream at MGM

[OKWTink]

I like the Land. :blush: I don't do it as often as every time I go, but I do it enough!

[Musicmixer]

Not an attraction but a stroll at dusk along the river between POR & POFQ does it for us. :) Also TTA is our favorite at MK. :)

[foreverducky]

I absolutely love the TTA. It's so relaxing, but there are just some fantastic views. I ride it several times in a trip. Also CoP, I love this. I love the song and always have it in my head afterwards.

[TimonAndPumba]

Love TTA here too :thumbs: We also like the Halls of Presidents and the Wonders of China :yes: Another one for us is Playhouse Disney :blush:

DD's absolutely love the Magic of Disney Animation in MGM :D

[Breeze]

The TTA for me and I confess to just having to do COP every time I'm there and Bob loves the shooting gallery :D

[Bec]

TTA and The Land

[Elise79]

Another TTA fan here :thumbs: Also Carosel of Progress :D in MK. Journey into Imagination (althought the orginal was better than its current version) in Epcot and One Man's Dream in MGM.

Yet to find anything in AK that matches those yet :unsure:

I agree with your selections. Walt's life is always inspiring. When given lemons, make lemonade:)

[BigCol]

The original "journey into imagination" was my favourite ride as a kid. I had a stuffed toy figment, and a figment cap complete with orange horns out of the head. I am sure I still have it!:thumbs:

I love the TTA ond COP I always try to go on those several times. One of my all time favs was "if you had wings" :( I just hate they took that out but I do have video of the whole ride!

I am going to have to look for that key at muppet vision! And the AK ride ... I shall start practicing my aim for all those riders who thought they escaped a good drenching :lol:

[disneygal47]

Carousel of Progress is my favorite overlooked attraction. Always empty no matter what time of year we've been there. I like it because it reminds me of going to the world when I was a kid. My kids LOVE it, which I must admit I find a little odd, but it's a great escape from the heat and a interesting little show.

[SpongeRob]

I am also a lover of TTA. But I really enjoy the Carousel of Progress, it's entertaining and you learn a thing or two as well! :)

[ThinkTink]

We are big TTA fans as well. We've even been known to not get off and ride it 2x's in a row :blush:. It's one of our DD's favorite rides. We are also big COP fans. DH is a HUGE Hall of Presidents fan. Girls also like the Aladdin carpet ride.

[Dollydrop]

We like TTA aswell. Its great fun to go through the Space Mountain bit. The last time we went through there Space Mountain wasn't working and all the lights were on. We could see the tracks, it was really cool!!

[daveymc]

Its not much of an attraction but i like that place where you go and sample all the different flavours of coke. Its also very cool in there.

[BigThunder]

Carousel of Progress. It's so overlooked that it's only seasonal which makes me sad :(

[Vikki]

I have two, the TTA and One Man's Dream at MGM :yes:

[Johnie]

I LOVE One Man's Dream. It is AWESOME!!!

[MandyG]

I absolutely love the TTA - I filed the whole ride last year - think it about 15 minutes - so relaxing and never any queues. Also - you get to see inside space mountain which is so cool and an ideal way to introduce new people to it before they venture on. also great if there is a problem with space mountain - last year all the lights were on so we got to see the whole track.

Does small world count? there never seems to be much wait for it anymore - that's the big fav with us

xx

[TR_Wolf]

We loved TTA! :)

But other simple pleasures included the rocking chairs near the always-closed snack bar place on Tom Sawyer Island, and playing draughts (checkers) around there too... but Phil always wins! :lol:

And the Mexican version of Its A Small World in the pyramid in Mexico, EPCOT was cute.

[baseballcj316]

TTA because it's actualy relaxing and keeps evryone ocupied

[Watchinherskip]

Definately TTA, although it doesn't look as if us look "overlook" it, and Carousel of progress for us!
YES, so with you on that one. We always seem to have the camcorder on for the TTA...Now approaching Metropolis Science Center...we always wave at the passing cars as we go into space mountain and they are leaving. We just love the "seasonal" COP....seems it is always in season when we are there ...can just hear the music now. Its a great big beautiful tomorrow....yada yada:D

[Katie C]

I admit I do like TTA in Magic Kingdom, it's a nice place to get in quite quickly!
In Epcot I guess the Mexico ride, although I also really liked the fountain which went off to music in the middle of future world- especially when it was dark as it was lit up in all different colours- that was pretty cool!
At MGM it used to be the Roger Rabbit place- where you could pose under thwe steamroller. No idea if it's still there but that was really cool!
No idea about Animal Kingdom yet, but looking forward to finding out!
Katie

[miraclemoments]

I'm another TTA fan...but my dearest "overlooked" attraction is....no snickering please...Cranium Command. I know, I know, it's silly and nonsensical, but my children and I adore it! I love the hidden jokes and innuendo...and...we'll I have no idea, I just laugh at it. Every time.

[MonoManBlue]

COP is our family tradition, we do it all together every year. Its got to be my favorite overlooked one.

[JuniorMickey]

I love CC Miracle but it's nearly impossible to overlook it these days since the WOL pavilion is never open anymore

[miraclemoments]

I know! It makes me sad. :(

[JuniorMickey]

I did it twice on NYE and I was reminded why I loved it. It was so funny :)

[miraclemoments]

OOOH!! I'm so jealous!!!

There's this one line that *always* cracks me up, I don't remember it verbatim, but at one point the drill sergeant says, "What do you think this is? DISNEY WORLD?"

LOL. Cracks me up everytime.

[JuniorMickey]

I always laugh at Ariel being thrown into a kid's head. That dates the show :D

[Rayer]

I love the TTA ride. I just sit back, take my burning trainers off and put my feet up and cool down. The blast of Air Conditioning when you enter Space Mountain is great.
Every year, this is our 3pm, Disney Feet on fire solution. The best constant non stop laps we have managed so far is 4

'Calling for Mr Morrow, Mr T Morrow' :lol: Wish I was on it now instead of being here in the UK at work.

LOL!! :rotfl:I think I just found a new name for the TTA!!

[Blackie Pueblo]

At MK I definitly think the TTA is VERY overlooked. It's a great relaxing ride to rest your feet and see some sights. It's great to ride it at night.

At MGM I think everyone should see One Man's Dream. To see the story of how it all started is really remarkable.

And At EPCOT I of course have to go with The American Adventure. What an amazing display of the struggle of the United States. Its very inspiring and impressive technology. I mean, Ben Franklin looks like he's walking UP the stairs. And the horse George Washington is on moves like a real horse!

[hillyjo13]

i always used to love the monster sound show with martin short and chevy chase when i was little! we all have a soft spot for the carasoul of progess to!

[jak]

We appreciated Tom Sawyer Island last time we visited- because the boys LOVED it :thumbs: and went off playing with other children, so we spent a very pleasant half hour having a sit-down and watching other parent-child interactions :unsure:

Every day we rated which rides we liked best in which parks and the boys rated TS Island very highly :) which just proves that children don't need anything very sophisticated to have a fantastic time.
