If you look at all of those attractions that we have, collectively, said are subpar, you begin to notice a few trends. It's those trends that I want to look at today – specifically, I believe there are five tell-tale signs that a theme park attraction is, for lack of a better, more American word, rubbish.

Walt Disney World's Haunted Mansion and the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror are among the best that the Imagineers have ever put together. They are so complete and so evocative that they can and should be viewed as works of art on their own. Where things start to get interesting is when you look at the two attractions side-by-side. If you do this, something interesting resolves itself: The Tower of Terror is basically a sequel to the Haunted Mansion.

Disney's passion for golf has turned the resort into a true destination for folks who like their long walks spoiled.

Whether you've been 100 times before or only once, fear not: there are ways to experience Walt Disney World anew.

What if I told you there were two resorts on Disney property that were not operated by The Walt Disney Company, yet still enjoyed many of the same perks and quirks of those Disney hotels? And what if I told you they offered deluxe-style lodgings at moderate-esque prices? Wouldn't that be awesome?

Universal is every bit Disney's equal in theme park design. Unfortunately, that also means they're the company's equal in terms of large-scale blunders.

We, as Disney fans, have developed our own little dialect we use when communicating with one another. But, while some of those invented bits of language have obvious meanings, there are other words and phrases whose meanings are a bit less clear.

Let’s take a look at a few modern complaints about Disney … that have really always been the case
