Country Bear Jamboree

10. Country Bear Jamboree (Magic Kingdom) Personally I can’t stand the Country Bear Jamboree. I understand it’s a classic because its one of the last attractions that Walt Disney helped developed but I just can’t find humor or entertainment in it. For those unaware, The Country Bear Jamboree is a musical show featuring animatronic singing bears on five stages and ...

Magic Carpets Of Aladdin

9. The Magic Carpet of Aladdin (Magic Kingdom)/Triceratops Spin (Animal Kingdom) The Magic Carpets of Aladdin is one of three spinner rides in Disney. It is almost identical to Dumbo and Triceratops Spin in ride motion the only difference is the ride vehicle. Meaning that if you rode one you’ve basically ridden them all. To save on time pick one, ...

Primevil Whirl

6. Primeval Whirl (Animal Kingdom) While most guests agree that the Dinoland USA section of Animal Kingdom needs some serious updating as a whole, the worst offender in Dinoland is Primeval Whirl. Primeval Whirl is something that you would expect at a county fair, not at Disney World especially with Expedition Everest just steps away. This ride really throws you ...

Voyage of the Little Mermaid

5. Voyage of the Little Mermaid (Hollywood Studios) Not to be confused with the Journey of the Little Mermaid ride at Magic Kingdom, this is a seventeen minute live show featuring puppets from the popular film. While it is nice to sit down in air conditioning, the show appears to be outdated. If traveling with big Ariel fans, skip this ...

Ellen's Energy Adventure

4. Ellen’s Energy Ride (Epcot) Let me start off by saying, I genuinely enjoy Ellen’s Energy Ride. By with a total time of 45 minutes between the pre-show and actual attraction it’s time consuming and not terribly interesting for younger children. However when bad weather strikes- like pouring rain or extreme heat, 45 minutes in air conditioning will be welcomed, ...

Swiss Family Treehouse

3. Swiss Family Treehouse (Magic Kingdom) In Adventureland sits a beautiful treehouse known as the Swiss Family Treehouse. It looks like fun until you go into the treehouse and realize it’s just a lot of stairs and not much to see. After walking around all day climbing stairs does not sound attractive, so instead reward yourself and get a Dole ...

Sign

1. Stitch’s Great Escape (Magic Kingdom) In 2004, Disney capitalized on the Stitch hype by replacing Alien Encounter with Stitch’s Great Escape. Alien Encounter had been deemed too scary for children and replacing the alien with a well-loved one seemed like a reasonable choice. Unfortunately, Stitch’s Great Escape has been met with much dislike. It’s loud, dark, and when Stitch ...

Tomorrowland Speedway

2. Tomorrowland Speedway (Magic Kingdom) Another Tomorrowland attraction that’s lackluster, is the Speedway. Although it’s a cute concept, letting kids try their hand at driving on a set track with a set speed, attractions similar to this can be found at theme parks throughout the country. Additionally, it can get very hot on the track and the gasoline odor is ...
