Read through this, and hoped to see people tell me why my list of "Don't do again" needs to be edited...even though it is a very short list....(actually, Sounds Dangerously, Ellen, and anything that replaced Journey to Mars are the only "Never do again's")....but I enjoy virtually every attraction...admitedly, I only do Dumbo and the cars for DGK's....but I even enjoy them because of who is with me. There are several that I haven't done for the last several trips....but that is because there never seems enough time to do it all...didn't do much of Fantasyland this trip, but the DGK's that were with us this trip were all 10 or older. Still snuck in Philharmagic. Haven't been on the Mexican and Norwegian boat rides for several trips, nor on Tom Sawyer Island, but will correct that on next trip.

For me it has to be It's a Small World. I (sort of) liked it as a kid, hated it as a teenager/young adult, and appreciate it a bunch now that I'm older. There's just something about the ride that's quintesentially disney to me, and I actually find the song quite charming now.

I didn't like it then, i still don't like it. Though the nemo show is kinda cool. Walking around the park, is still like the bataan death march.

Like several other posts here, it's Epcot for me.
When I first came to WDW in 1999, I didn't know much about it. I thought the Magic Kingdom WAS Walt Disney World. On our first day, we spent the entire time at Magic Kingdom and I loved it. On day two, we went to Epcot. I assumed it was another Magic Kingdom only bigger and more updated. When I got there, I was let down. The few rides we had ridden -- El Rio del Tiempo, Maelstrom, whatever came before the Nemo ride -- lacked the "magic.". They felt rushed. The park left me empty.
When I returned home, I researched WDW and Walt Disney. I learned about Walt's vision. About how they stealthily acquired the land and developed it. I learned about how they got the property zoned so they can expeditiously expand, develop, and build new projects. When I returned the following year, I had a new appreciation for both Epcot and the whole Walt Disney World.
Today, Epcot is our second favorite park and probably the park we spend the most time in on any trip. While it has improved its rides (with Soarin' and Mission: Space), that's not why we frequent this park. Epcot feels more like a wonderful social gathering place. I feel like I grow a little inside each time I come. My horizons are broadened a bit. It's beautiful.
Although it isn't true to his vision, I still think Walt would be proud of his project.

Mine would have to be Test Track.
My first two trips, I was terrified of Test Track. On my third trip, I went with my best friend, who's a thrill rider. I had watched the specials on Expedition Everest, and though I wasn't (at the time) a coaster enthusiast, I REALLY wanted to do this ride after those specials. So, me, being the wimp, decided to work my way up so I wouldn't be just out of my mind terrified to get on.
I started out with BTM, and then during our Epcot visit, decided to try Test Track, knowing that if I couldn't handle the speed of that ride, EE was a no-go.
LOVED IT. It's now on my multiple-ride list.

My first visit to Animal Kingdom was less than ideal. It was in June 1998, so the park had only been open for a couple of months. It was extremely hot that day and some of the park didn't feel complete, such as the lack of water fountains. Kilimanjaro Safaris was terrible, as there were almost no animals to be seen. I'm not sure if they didn't have enough animals yet or if the animals were hiding from the vehicles because they weren't used to them. I came away from that visit with a very negative attitude towards the park.
Nowadays, it is my second favorite park in WDW and a WDW visit wouldn't feel complete without it. I still think it needs more quality attractions and indoor quick service restaurants, but it has come a long way since the year that it opened.

World Showcase
My wife and I spent our honeymoon @ WDW the week EPCOT opened. We were so unimpressed with WS that we even skipped "The American Adventure". (I thought it was a Circle-Vision movie!!) On our first trip with our kids, we blasted through WS, only visiting the countries with rides. On the next trip, we started exploring the countries. Now I can't imagine NOT spending a good deal of time in WS, watching the performers, having dinner, etc. It's gone from a "forget it" to a "must do". In fact, one of our all-time favorite experiences at WDW was watching a mime in France who did a hysterical balloon animal routine.
