Downtown Disney is NOT an attraction. It's part of the parks. It's a shopping district. The Poly Beach is not considered an attraction either. The Attraction's are the shows and rides.

Soarn sucks

I believe that these attractions you just listed ARE some of the reasons that said article was talking about. These are the reasons why people DO NOT want to go to Disney. They are trying to give options OTHER than "rides" to draw these "haters" in. And the last I heard the Lion King Show was about $100 for tickets. Not free with park ticket anymore. And why in the world would ANYBODY force someone to go to Disney in the first place. I have never ever heard of such a thing. If someone doesn't want to go to Disney.....WHY MAKE THEM GO. Leave them home or get a sitter.

They moved the lion king show to Africa after closing camp mickey-minnie. What you're talking about is "Harambe nights", which was an event celebrating the 20th anniversary of the lion king in animal kingdom after hours. Celebrity narrator, live orchestra, dance and singing, street party with free food and drinks. It was awesome.

Um, people watching, Polynesian Beach, and Downtown Disney lol? Those aren't really things to do...at least not that you can't do somewhere else. How about Test Track, Space Mountain, Splash Mountain, Big Thunder Mountain RR, Mission Space, Dinosaur, Kali River Rapids, The Lion King stage show, Fantasmic, Rock n Roller Coaster, The Tower of Terror, egads! There's SO MUCH TO DO!

Thank you! I agree totally! There are so many awesome attractions that non-Disney lovers can't help but like! SOOO MUCH! and.. by all means, keep them out of lines!

The song from Pirates of the Caribbean, "Yo, ho, Yo, ho, A Pirate's Life for Me", was written by X. Attencio, not the Sherman brothers.

Soarin'. I was a believer in this it's until you said Soarin'. Really?! Completely overrated.

I humbly disagree with you. I think Soarin' is innovative, relaxing and exhilarating all at the same time. I believe it's a universally enjoyable attraction, not dictated by age, race, gender or ethnicity. It truly is one of my very favorite attractions at Disney - east coast or west. Again - this is just *my* opinion.

You are absolutely right. So overrated. I will never understand the appeal of Soarin.

There are only 11 World Showcase countries. You listed China twice.
