TTA. But I love it!

The American Adventure. I've never had a problem finding a seat for that show. Plus of the people that go, 1/2 stay awake.

Another vote for TTA; we never miss it! At other parks:
Epcot: The hedge maze in the UK
AK: the gorillas. They don't seem to get as much attention as the giraffes, lions and elephants, but I could watch them all day.
MGM: the animation building -- a shadow of its former self, but still, it's what Disney is all about

I'd have to say Tom Sawyer's Island at DL, although when they closed Fort Wilderness, it wasn't as much fun. But now they are adding Pirates' Cove and I think it will have a great new life. Maybe it won't be so overlooked now...

TTA, without a doubt. Also, the original El Rio Del Tiempo. With the refurb we shall see what happens as an overlooked attraction though.

It makes me happy to see so many people like the TTA, even if it still does rank as 'overlooked'. It's not just my favorite overlooked attraction, I think it's my overall favorite. Especially when the MK is open late enough you can ride it in the dark, or when the fireworks are going. *wistful sigh*

The other (often) overlooked thing I really like in the MK is Shruken Ned's Junior Jungle Boats. I can understand why people, well, overlook them when they're in a hurry and maybe don't visit WDW very often, but I've had a ton of fun messing around with those lil' boats.

In the Disneyland area I think Muppetvision is a great overlooked attraction (and it's in DCA which doesn't help).

In Disney World I'd say the Journey Into Imagination attraction.

Although both aren't overlooked as far as people who like them, they seem to be underwhelmed in terms of lines.

Journey Into Imagination, as much as it is a major part of the pavilion, I think would qualify as Overlooked, since I don't think I have ever waited more than 5 minutes for it.

And I think it is so quiet because so many people miss the original, which was truly a great experience. I mean, I remember 45 minute waits for that attraction.

A semi-extinct overlooked attraction would probably be the old imageworks labs that were on the second floor of the imagination pavilion. I think the reason they're now downstairs and at the exit is because they were so overlooked. The old pavilion had a made "imaginative" feel to it. I especially loved the way the elevator was decorated and went right up the center of one of the pyarmids. Two of the coolest skylights now gone to waste...

I remember having to work sooo hard to convince my parents to go up there. They wouldn't believe me that there was something to see.

I remember liking the ... squares of light (I think?) that you could step on that made music. Sort of like what they have in the current exit area (had? I haven't been in there in a few years) now, where it makes different animal sounds and whatnot.

Does DCA count as an attraction?

I was there the last weekend in August and it was so empty! The longest wait I had was for Soarin and that was less then 30 minutes, I walked onto just about every ride, didn't have to fight to get around anyone just standing in the middle of the walkways. It was my first visit to DCA, but I really enjoyed it, the atmoshpere is different then any of the parks in WDW (which I have visited quite a few times). The cast members here were very friendly, happy to visit (of course they were bored as well.

)

Yeah, they still have those I think, it's one of the few things that survived the refurb. Everything else in there is just computers and stuff now, nothing really imaginative

DL: Pinnochio's Daring Journey or Storybookland Canal Boats

I agree, with Story Book. I ignored that ride for years and now it is one of my favorite. I always have the urg to jump out of the boat and play with the scenery like you would a doll house. Plus you get to see giant ducks.

For me it has to be TTA and COP. I never realized you could go into Stave Chuch. I had no idea. I will definitely do this on my next trip! I love what you can learn on these boards.

Steve: I also love the Birds of Wonder show. I made my whole family go last November and everyone thought it was amazing! In the past, we had always walked by.

I really enjoy the Storybookland Canal Boats. It's such a cute ride.

For Epcot, American Adventure is often overlooked but absolutely wonderful. The movie in France doesn't seem to be mentioned very often by people, but it's so beautiful.
