Just never got around to riding it....

True Confessions.... I thought it might be interesting to see what attractions people have skipped or inadvertantly missed on their trips to WDW....

The ones I can remember are:

MK

Hall of Presidents
Country Bear Jamboree
Cinderella's Surprise Celebration

EPCOT

Reflections of China
The American Adventure
Impressions de France
O' Canada

MGM

Sounds Dangerous
Who Wants to be a Millionaire
Voyage of the Little Mermaid
Magic of Disney Animation
Playhouse Disney
Beauty & The Beast
Rock n' Roller Coaster
Fantasmic

AK

Pocahontas & Her Forest Friends
Festival of the Lion King
Tarzan Rocks!

Okay... I know!!! I am almost ashamed I have missed some of these :bandit But its incredibly hard to get the men in my family to sit still long enough to see some of these shows.... (Sigh)

Anne, Anne, Anne...
Do you mean NEVER?
You MUST...that's MUST insist they at least sit through:
The American Adventure
and
The Hall of Presidents

I find it funny to state that you've never seen the ones I almost never miss and probably go on the ones I may have missed.

From your list, the ones I haven't seen are:

MK

Cinderella's Surprise Celebration

What is that, anyway?

EPCOT

Reflections of China -this was closed last time I went.

Impressions de France - is that the mime show?

O' Canada-saw this for the first time last year. Splendid!

MGM

Sounds Dangerous--
Not a biggie to miss, imho.

Who Wants to be a Millionaire -Me, but it's never open when I go.

Voyage of the Little Mermaid - WHAT? How could you miss this?? Cute show.

Magic of Disney Animation - I got to see them making Aladdin & The Lion King first time I went!

Playhouse Disney- Too old for this.

Beauty & The Beast - Another super show.

Rock n' Roller Coaster -OK -you have me there. Can't ride it. Too chicken.


AK

Pocahontas & Her Forest Friends - this was nice when I saw it.

Festival of the Lion King - Love the songs? Gotta see it.

Tarzan Rocks! - I like this. Some people find it to be Vegas cheesy. Only saw it once.

OK there are a few for me too:

MK = Haunted Mansion (DD is still scared of it)

MGM = Playhouse Disney, Tower of Terror (another DD no-no),I know this one is going to get some boo's but, One man's dream

Epcot = I have only been inside this park once for about a half hour on my senior trip and we rode Nothing....will make up for it this trip.

AK = Pocahontas and her firends, festival of the lion king, , Planet watch, Tarzan (we honestly hit our favorites and leave) I like the shops here more than the park, but that's just me. I know it's a lot of people's favorite park. We just never took to it and spend most of our time in MK and MGM and hopefully this year, Epcot.

Girl, are you missing out! Epcot is AMAZING...but your DD might not think so! But you would LOVE it...I could spend the entire day just walking around the countries, taking in the sights, watching the shows, going into all of the shops, eating the GREAT food and drinking in all the countries...

I agree with geeman...it's funny how some of those are never misses for our family.

Hall of Presidents- this is where I get my nap.
Cinderella's Surprise Celebration-never heard of it
IASW - once was more than enough for us.

Reflections of China, Impressions de France, O' Canada - I love these since it is like going to that country to see the countryside...but don't see them every time I go.
The American Adventure - another nap time for me....just can't seem to stay awake no matter how hard I try
Sounds Dangerous, Who Wants to be a Millionaire, Magic of Disney Animation, Playhouse Disney, Beauty & The Beast - never did these
Rock n' Roller Coaster - a must do at least 5 times any day I am at this park
Fantasmic - saw this for the first time this year....GREAT!

Pocahontas & Her Forest Friends - missed this one
Tarzan Rocks! - a must see for me....those guys on the skates really get my heart racing....not to mention Tarzan himself!!
:D :D

We have a full day planned here for out third day at WDW. She is actually quite interested for the first time in checking out this park...it will be like a whole new WDW for me because I haven't experienced it either...little magic for her ..and me. I ma looking forward to the countires (kilts!) the most. I love looking in the shops and buying way too much stuff, so this should be right up my alley. I woldn't say no to a drink or two either..:laugh

Wow. EPCOT for just one day, if that? Sheesh. There's more to see than can ever be seen at EPCOT. More to do than can ever be done! (Sorry, got carried away there! LOL)
Go there. YOu may be surprised at what you've been missing!

LOL, that made me actually laugh out loud in addition to writing it. Impression de France is a do not miss for us. First thing we do each trip in the World Showcase. Fantastic music, great movie, and most of all, it is not a 360 movie. Oh, and the patisserie is at the exit.

The only thing I can think of not doing is Pocahontas and Friends in AK. It is on our list this time though, since my youngest is on a Pocahontas trip.

One ride we WERE going to go on this trip is Alien Encounter! My son and I had worked ourselves up to go on this ride this time but not any more!! We were just too *chicken* to go before. I was hoping that the renovations would be done be April, I don't think it will. Stitch is more of our kind of alien!!

Isnt "Cinderellas Surprise Celebration" the show that goes on in front of the castle?

I have to admit we have never done anything in the front half of Epcot except for Test Track and Spaceship Earth.
