Re: Favorite Overlooked Attraction
I always over-looked the Tiki Room an the Magic Kingdom. I never went on it because my parents told me what it was like and I shrugged it off. I went to WDW with a friend a few years and ago and decided to try it out. I acually enjoyed it and now I hit that ride every time I go now. I even play the soundtrack for it now lol. It's not on my favorites list but it was a good one that I overlooked. I haven't done the Country Bear Jamborie yet. I don't really hear much about it so I don't know if it is worth seeing.

Re: Favorite Overlooked Attraction
Country Bear Jamboree is a cute, corny sort of show. You should definitely check it out at least once. It might be like the Tiki Room and you might enjoy it. It is going through refurb at the moment so it should be nice and fresh the next time you visitMetalRage wrote:I always over-looked the Tiki Room an the Magic Kingdom.

Oh yeah, I love how they randomly change out the exhibits. There was one really nice tin toy exhibit not long ago.. and a bit before that was animals in Japanese culture, I love how they referenced some anime and manga in it.

Re: Favorite Overlooked Attraction
Do they rotate the exhibits or something? The times I've gone (years apart) they had the tin toy/robot exhibit both times.

Yeah,they do. I am guessing that the tin toy might be the default unless they have something else to put there. I have seen several different things there over the years, so I do know that it isn't always the same.

Sounds like we have some similar tastes. I obviously much prefer the original Journey, but I like this one as well..
