Hey, friends! Welcome back to Traveling Dollars— today I’m confessing five wildly popular Walt Disney World staples that… I just don’t love. To each their own and if these are your cup of tea, then by all means, enjoy! But, for me, these are just not it:

1: MuppetVision 3D…

Look, I know, I know… don’t hate me. I respect Kermit and the gang, I really loved The Muppets Movie and I do like The Muppets in general. I am excited for the new coaster but MuppetVision 3D* feels like it’s been trapped in 1982, begging for a firmware update. It’s the Commodore 64 of the parks, iconic but outdated. Between the dad-joke puns, 3-D gags, and a theater that smells like Fonzi’s crushed dreams, I’m just find myself wanting to get out of there faster than Animal plays drums. This is one change that I am just not sad about. I could not be more excited for MONSTERS!!

2: Churros

I know churros are practically a religion for Disney foodies, but they taste like cinnamon-rolled cardboard. They’re like giant Taco Bell cinnamon twist fossils. Plus, at seven bucks a stick, no thank you! Fight me, if you must. But, I’ll take a Mickey shaped pretzel all day!

3: The Country Bear Jamboree

Yes, it’s a classic. Yes, it has been reimagined recently. Yes, there is the Walt played a significant role in the concept art and it is one of the last things he touched before his passing aspect. But let’s be real: half those bears look like they’ve seen things, things noone should see. The banjo tunes are weird. Maybe they are catchy in a honky-tonk haunting-your-dreams kind of way, but nothing I need to hear again! I don’t leave that theater feeling all fuzzy and nostalgic. I feel confused and slightly worried about my life choices.

4. TRex Sized Turkey Legs

We’ve all watched someone gnaw a turkey leg like a viking in Fantasyland. I’ve tried, but the grease, the gristle, the caveman-esque struggle—it’s just not me. Also, it’s actually huge. A few bites and and your already full but still have what feels like 10 pounds of turkey left. I’ll stick to Mickey pretzels!

5: Chef Art Smith’s Homecomin’

Southern comfort food by Oprah’s former chef? Sounds magical. And and SO MANY people told me they loved it so I was super excited to give it a try. Yet… it left me utterly underwhelmed. The fried chicken’s fine but not $30 kind of fine. If I’m dropping that kind of coin at Disney Springs, I want fireworks exploding in my mouth—and these are more like sparklers.

There you have it—five beloved Disney World icons that just aren’t for me. Do I still adore the Mouse? Absolutely. But remember: loving something doesn’t mean you can’t roast it, rotisserie-style, like those turkey legs I just offended. And if these are your thing, continue to LOVE them, no matter how much shame you get 🙂
