They were there in early October when I was there. I think they are easy to miss, especially if there is a crowd. They are outside, built into a landscaped hillside. If there were a lot of people crowding around the railing, you would never even notice them.

This may be a little weird, but the que for Philharmagic really sets the mood for me. Not the line, but the room where you get the glasses. The lighting and atmosphere just seems so far from the reality of everyday life...not that every day life is bad, but a nice break from the norm.

I'd have to say the Oasis in Animal Kingdom, first thing in the morning. It's fun just to meander through while everyone else rushes off to the rides and doesn't even look at the different animals through there. Also we like to walk the trails around the Tree of Life and find as many carved animals as possible.

Actually Stopping to smell the roses makes everything more enjoyable
I find i appreciate it more when i do see the things tucked away.
Here are some more-
Walking from the Beach club or Boardwalk to Epcot- take the Lower path near the water-
No crowd, quiet and a very different view of Epcot-
At Magic Kingdom- if you can get to Tom Sawyer island early enough before the crowds come. You have alot of time in between boatloads...My kids love the fort
I agree the tea Garden at Epcot is great, very calm..
At the Wilderness lodge- waking up and taking the walk to fort Wilderness is a wildlife adventure- deer, armadillo, birds, rabbits, pheasant etc...
Hall of Presidents too- its never too crowded, but cool and great to see

Here's a brief discription...
Mickey's Mart-"Everything Ten Dollars and Under"
Unique gifts, surprise grab bags and highlighted item of the week, all at value pricing
As far as where it is... I do believe that it is next to Rainforest Cafe (kind of) and across from the Gourmet Pantry in the Marketplace. Hopefully I got this right... if I did not somenoe please correct me!

We love Rafiikis Planet Watch in AK.It's one of those overlooked attractions .First you take the train ride to Conservation Station and then you walk a real peaceful path to a small museum that has all kinds of neat things to see and hear.Take the time to enjoy this attraction,you won't be sorry.

One overlooked thing that I never thought would be overlooked is the monorail. I had some friends that went to WDW and never rode it. I haven't been since I was a kid but that will definitely be something I do early and often during my trip. I must say it was always one of my favorite "rides". I also plan to drive to Magic Kingdom at least once so I can ride the parking lot tram. My brother and I always had so much fun trying to remember where we parked. and yes, in case you are wondering, I AM very easily entertained!!
I'm just so excited to finally be going back to WDW after so many years.... 22 Days!!!

Hmm, I really have to check this out now!
No, they're not new.....they have been there for a while. If you are walking through WS and the lake is on your left the train exhibit would be on your right as you get to the German pavilion. Just look for a bunch of little kids (some big ones too) congregating and that's probably it.....There is a black railing that goes in front of it and there is also a little pathway between the village that is set up. DS could spend HOURS there......I mean HOURS!!!!
We also have started to walk through the rose garden at MK below the castle.....there are really no people that are around, so we stop and smell quite a few roses on our walk!!
TTA is also a place we enjoy! DS even calls it the People Mover.....he likes to see all of Tomorrowland.
I could go on and on.....our whole trip we do things out of the ordinary along with the ordinary!

i love the walk around canada.
also the walk around the far reaches of morrocco - i find i can really lose myself in there, pretending that i really am far away, and NOBODY is ever there. you can go inside all the doors (there's a house, a little art museum), and it's cool and quiet. so many doorways. i love it.
the last time i was at mgm, i stayed pretty late after it closed, just walking around and enjoying the magical atmosphere. it was awesome, and nobody asked me to leave until i had been there for about an hour.
walking the torchlit paths at the polynesian is great at night. their beach is always empty then, and they have hammocks you can relax in.

I'm sure everyone will think I'm weird, but I'm a people watcher & one of my favorite things is to be the first one up, go to the food court & grab a couple of cups of coffe & sit by the pool in the morning. I love to watch everyone starting their day. All three times that we've stayed at Pop, there is a family of ducks. They swim in the pool every morning before the man that cleans the pool encourages them to leave. I always find my self talking to other guests & enjoy watching the other early risers & the CM's going about with their jobs. It's such a quiet and peacful way for me to start the day - before all the hustle & bustle begins!
As a family - we've discovered that we love using the water transportation! We did this for the first time on our trip last year - we actually used the boats three times & thought it was such a different & beautiful view & put a different perspective on the lay of the land or "World" should I say?!

I don't know if it is overlooked, but wine and a pastry from France is a must for me.
Some attractions like Country Bears, Tiki Room, and CoP are perhaps taken for granted too.
i love cop and tiki room, but i dont think ive been to country bears since before my honeymoon, so my wife and kids have never seen it, it will be on my must do list for our trip in sept
