Most underrated attraction at DL or DCA?

[kalynn]

What attraction would you consider to be most underrated at the Disneyland parks? For me it was Goofy's Sky School. Something I ignored and knew very little of. Decided to try it last month for the first time because a FastPass was available. Judging a book by its cover, this seemed like a kiddie ride suitable for young toddlers. I was quite pleasantly surprised by its speed, sharp turns, and great views.

Curious what other attractions others think are underrated?

Monsters for me. I love that ride.

Animation Academy. I’m always surprised that people don’t know about it. We try to go a few times each trip because it’s always so much fun.

Monsters for me. I love that ride.

Agree with this too! The details are amazing, and Roz at the end is a delight. A snarky, grumpy delight.

I feel like the Subs get a bad rap that they doesn’t necessarily deserve. To me, it’s a great, unique ride with a fun story.

I agree with you on Animation Academy. I have to admit we have been going to Disneyland for many years but had never been to Anaimation Academy until maybe a couple years ago. We went one day to get out of the heat and had an amazing experience. Now we go all the time!! I think it really is the most undervalued attraction in all of Disneyland.

I like all the experiences mentioned above. Goofy's is one of my son's favorites. I'm not a fan of the super sharp turns, but it is a fun, silly ride. I think people like Monsters it is just not in the best location. When they have things going on back there and when the park is packed it gets lines.
Before they closed Bugsland we thought The Ladybug Boogie was a nice little gem. It was rarely crowded and such a fun ride.

Casey Jr in Disneyland! Riding that at night is one of my all time FAVORITE things to do! I do NOT like the cages.. but the open seats in the back = LOVE! It's not a thrill ride.. it's simple and it's classic. At least in my opinion...

I like the silly symphony swings. Almost always a short wait, a little more thrilling than the rest of what you might call “kiddie” rides, and it’s situated at nice spot being elevated and overlooking Paradise bay. What was really underrated and one of my favorite things to do last summer was go on it during the PtN. It was cool to get a different perspective on the parade. Still hoping they bring PtN back this year.

DL: Storybook land Canal boats. This ride is just so cute!! I’m sad I never appreciated this when I was younger. Now I really love it.

DCA: Monsters Inc.

DL: Explorer Canoes

You are right on the water and part of the ROA action. Earn summer bonus points when you get seated behind a kid whose oar work scoops a refreshing paddle of water in your lap with each stroke. My family hates this ride so I often go solo - that's how much it makes me smile.​

DCA: Mater Junkyard Jamboree

OooWeee! Love the Junkyard Jamboree!! DD and I lean into each swing and directional change of the tractor to increase the whip effect. Yoww that's fun. This used to be a reliably short line but now w Bug's Land closed, all the little kiddos are now in line at Mater's.​

 

[wdwfan22]

I 2nd Casey Jr. Not that I want any more people to discover how magical that ride is.

I agree with Storybook Land Canal Boats, my wife hates it. Next trip I’ll just tell her the Matterhorn tracks have been redone and it’s a smooth ride now, that’ll teach her
All the best.

DL: Storybook Land Canal Boats. Absolutely love these, especially at night when all the little buildings are lit up!

DCA: Goofy's Sky School and Mater's Junkyard Jamboree. I love both of those. I can't stop laughing ever time I ride Mater's!

Its weird that I have never done the explorer canoes. I am doing it this summer though.

 

[jlmarr]

Canoes! Not that I'm the outdoorsy type, but it gives me a feel for the river. I like being at the same level as the ducks. Wish the ride were longer.

Is Mr Toad's underrated? I think it's in this weird in between space of being a bit too childish for most adults, but a bit spooky for young kids. But I love it.

We do this too! It is so much fun. I laugh so hard on this ride. Love it more that Racers.

Have to agree with Mater's Junkyard Jamboree and Casey Jr. Circus Train. I did think they were both little kids rides before riding them and now they are both at the top of my favorites.
