Overrated/Attractions You Can Skip

Walt Disney World is full of wonderful attractions and entertainment to keep you coming back for years to come. Although this is true, there are some attractions that will be a one time event or you may never need to see. Here are some of the Overrated/Attractions you can skip while you are at Disney World.

The Seas with Nemo and Friends

When we rode the Seas with Nemo and Friends we must say we were excited and hopeful for this attraction. It is one of our favorite movies and we were hoping to not be disappointed. Unfortunately, we were very disappointed. The concept of this ride is a great idea. You sit in a calm for this ride and go through the seas. In front of you is a real aquarium where you see real fish from across the world. The characters from Finding Nemo are projected through the aquarium to look as if they are swimming with the actual fish. Although this is a cool concept it did not meet our expectations. The ride is very dark and at points it was hard to see the animated characters along wit he fish. It was also hard to follow the story because there was so much going on in the tank. Our main complaint is that it was not memorable at all. For us, this is an attraction you do not need to use a fast pass on. If the line is slow you can jump on it to rest and cool off, but other than that you can skip this attraction.
Rock 'N' Roller Coaster

We hate to burst people's bubble with this pick but the Rock 'N' Roller Coaster makes our list of the most overrated rides. This is a thrill ride in Hollywood Studios in which you are a special guest of the band Aerosmith. Now C believed this ride would take him back to the glory days of high school with this awesome hair band! Needless to say Aerosmith needs to stick with music and guitar hero. The pre-show is extremely cheesy and needs an update. Of course it is cool to go from 0 to 60 mpg, but the rest of the ride is very boring and the story is not as good as it could have been. Most people will tell you to not skip this ride. We are not telling you to skip it, but we are saying it is not as highly rated as people say it is.

Stitch's Great Escape
If you are a Disney World fanatic you have heard how this ride is viewed among people who visit Walt Disney World. If you are a first time visitor of Disney World this attraction is a eye catching attraction right when you walk into Tomorrowland. Although it is eye catching and one of the first things you see, you can totally skip this attraction. In our opinion, it is the worse attraction at Disney World. This attraction takes you into the world of Stitch as he is being captured in space. You go through a pre-show then sit in a circular room strapped down in a chair. During the attraction Stitch "escapes" from prison and runs wild around the attractions. From burping in your face or jumping up and down on your shoulders, Stitch totally ruins everything with this attraction. If you only take one piece of advice from this blog, it is to not ride Stitch Great Escape.
The Barnstormer

The Barnstormer is a roller coaster located in New Fantasyland. When we first saw this attraction it looked like it could be a fun attraction to go on. It is a great attraction for children because it is a small roller coaster, but when we say small we mean it. This attraction seemed like it was about a 20 second ride. Even though we only waited about 10 minutes to ride this ride it is still not worth waiting anytime if you are going as just a couple. This would be a very different perspective if you have children, but if you do not, this is an attraction you can skip.
The Magic Carpets of Aladdin

The Magic Carpets of Aladdin is a ride located in Adventureland. This ride is based on the Disney film Aladdin. The reason why we believe this is a ride you can skip because the same ride is on the other side of the park and it is better. This ride is exactly like Dumbo The Flying Elephant located in New Fantasyland. We totally recommend riding Dumbo The Flying Elephant. It is an iconic ride in Walt Disney World. This ride is just a poor replica based on a different film. You can absolutely skip this ride, but watch out when you walk by, the camel might spit at you for not riding!
The Enchanted Tiki Room

In the Enchanted Tiki Tiki Tiki Tiki Tiki room you will hear a song that will be stuck in your head just as bad as It's A Small World. This attraction is located in Adventureland. This is a show has a cast of about 150 animatronic singing and dancing birds. This attraction is a fun and cute show, but it is nothing that will make you call home and tell everyone about. If it is hot outside this is a great attraction to go to and cool off. If you do go see this attraction attempt to sit by yourself. Every time we have been to this attraction it has been ruined by someone we sit by constantly singing the song and not letting the birds have the show!

Think we missed another attraction you could miss? Are one of these a must see in your mind? We would love to hear! Comment your opinion below!

  1. I agree with you. Walt Disney World offers a wide range of attractions for all visitors. The visitors believe that place is the king of entertainment. My uncle was there last year before grand canyon bus tours with his family. Your shared attractions are the most famous and major for visiting. This place is best for everyone such as: kids, eldest. The Rock ‘N’ Roller Coaster is the major place for eldest. After reading your blog I want to go there as soon as possible.
