    Default Favorite Overlooked Attraction??

    When DH and I go to Disney, we always tend to ride the same rides, all the major Disney attractions. We now have Annual Passes and are going more often, so we want to try some new things (evenutally we are going to do everything, but we want to start with 2 new things per park on our trip next week).

    What are your favorite overlooked attactions in each of the 4 parks?

    I guess at MK, I'd have to say the Carousel of Progress. Sure it's not thrilling, but it has that catchy tune...

    At Epcot, I think Morocco is an overlooked pavilion.

    At Animal Kingdom, I think the walking trails are highly underrated attractions.

    Ay Disney Studios (MGM to me) I don't really know, perhaps the whole park?

    I hope I answered that properly.

    We made the same decision, shooting for 2 new things per park, per trip. The best strategy we could come up with was to simply list what we have never done and see what best fits into our schedules.

    Morocco is an overlooked area. It's real nice to walk through. I think a lot of people overlook the TTA also. The France movie is easily overlooked too.

    At Magic Kindom - Carousel of Progress & Tommorowland Transit Authority

    At Epcot - The film in France & the sweet shop in France.

    At Animal Kingdom - Flights of Wonder & the Tigers.

    At Disney Studios - The Muppets pre-show (it's better that the actual 3-D show in my opinion).

    So here are my suggestions.

    MK: Swiss Family Robinson Tree House and the People Mover

    EPCOT: Honestly vote for slow walks through each Country but especially Morocco

    DHS: One Mans' Dream and even if you don't have kids Honey I Shrunk the Kids Movie Set is pretty neat to look at.

    AK: Discovery Island Trails and the Oasis Trails (I'm always amazed how people blow right past these two)
    04 Honeymoon ,Swan and off property WDW
    05 1st Annivesary, off property WDW
    07 at All-Star Music WDW
    08 Disneyland
    09 AKV-Kidani Village WDW
    10 AKV-Jambo House/Boardwalk. 11 Kidani Village
    September 2012 Jambo House
    December 2013 Grand Californian

    MK: Difficult because all of the park is pretty much well known - I'll say the Liberty Bell.

    Epcot: Impressions de France.

    MGM: Animation Academy

    AK: Live animal shows at Conservation Station.
    I've got a dirty thumb.

    The People of Anandapur and the Royal Anandapur Wildlife and Forestry Authority trust you will enjoy your walk and ask that you respect and honor these lovely creatures with behavior appropriate for peaceful co-existence.

    At Epcot: The Mexico pavilion. Beautiful scenery, darker lighting to give a more serene look, great food, and a boat ride to relax on after a long day in the parks.

    At Animal Kingdom: Tought to be a Bug. It maye be repetitive after a while, but do at it at least once because there's usually no line and it's very entertaining.

    At Magic Kingdom: Barnstormer. Very simple ride and short ride, meant for younger children, yet still fun and the line moves fast if there is one.

    Finally Hollywood Studios: I really don't think there is one, with the exception of all the side shows that you can watch there, which personally aren't my favorite.
    "We are not now that strength which in old days, Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are,-- One equal temper of heroic hearts, Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will, To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.
    -"Ulysses" A. Tennyson

    MK - Carousel of Progress

    Epcot - Reflections of China

    DHS - I don't know the name of it, but theres a place where there are a lot of busts of celebrities who contributed to television over the years. I thought that was pretty interesting

    AK - Can't really think of one for AK. I guess thats because I don't explore the park

    Epcot - Impressions de France or the entire Japan pavilion...the shop there is amazing!
