    Okay, so this topic is more for frequent visitors (if you've only been to TDL once or twice there are probably many attractions you haven't done)...

    What attractions have you always skipped over for one reason or another?

    For me, it's the Beaver Brothers Explorer Canoes.

    I dunno why, really. I've been in the area I don't even know how many times. I've probably ridden Splash Mountain a couple dozen times at least, and the riverboat many times as well. I'm not sure if it was the operating hours or what (or perhaps because I'm often there in cold weather and don't wanna get splashed lol), but I just have just never done the canoes.

    <---hangs head in shame

    So, what's your "I always skipped it and I never knew why" attraction?

    I've also never done the Canoes. I've always skipped the 3D show in Tomorrowland as well (HISTA, then EO)- don't think I will be giving the new Stitch show a try since it seems to be exactly the same format as Turtle Talk.

    Never done the canoes?! Shame on you guys! I did them during my visit a couple years ago, and it's one of my favorite memories. I ended up being one of 3 guys in a canoe full of ladies; at one point they must have said that just the guys should paddle, so all the ladies stopped. Not speaking any Japanese, I assumed they had given us a rest break. After some gestures to figure out what was going on, I started paddling again and apparently the canoe really picked up speed, since there was a big "Ooooooh!" followed by lots of giggling. And paddling in TDL is so much better than DL, since the Japanese guests are great at following directions and actually paddle together, rather than just splashing around!

    I skipped the Star Jets and possibly one or two of the Fantasyland dark rides, and Monsters Inc and Jungle Cruise were closed on my visit (I also visited TDL during the 15th anniversary and have vague memories, but I don't remember specifically doing JC)

    Have been to the TDR numerous times and never done the canoes (haven't done them in Disneyland, either). Hard work on a hot day. No thanks. I'd much rather sit on the deck of the Mark Twain and enjoy the breeze and scenery.

    Never done the Stitch Encounter in Tokyo, but did it in Hong Kong. Since I don't speak Chinese it was meaningless (and may have been meaningless anyway even if I did). Same reason I skip Turtle Talk with Crush in DisneySea: it's in Japanese only.
