With that in mind, we wanted to find out from you what your takes were on the situation. Well, we asked and you delivered!

We reached out to our followers on Facebook to ask: “What’s something weird that TERRIFIES you about Disney World?” We had quite a few people leave their opinions in the comments!

What do you think?

Now, let’s dive into some of your top responses!

The Never-Ending Nightmare of ‘It’s a Small World’

First up, we’ve got Christy who shared, “Being stuck on It’s a Small World with the song playing.” Honestly? This is the stuff of theme park horror stories.

“it’s a small world”

Imagine being trapped in that boat, the dolls staring into your soul, and the song looping over and over. That tune is catchy, sure – but after the tenth time, it might just drive you to madness.

The Financial Horror of MagicBand Tapping

Marvin revealed his fear: “Blindly attaching a credit card to 4 MagicBands and everyone tap, tap, taping away.”

MagicBand

And yes, this is a very valid fear. If you’ve ever attached your credit card to multiple MagicBands, you know the sinking feeling of checking your bank statement after a trip. Those $6 bottles of water? Those Mickey-shaped snacks? That one souvenir you forgot you bought. It adds up. Fast.

Figment: Love Him or Fear Him?

Jennifer gave us the most controversial take of all: “I will catch some heat since he is so loved – but he is creepy.”

There he is!

She’s talking about Figment, the little purple dragon from EPCOT’s Journey Into Imagination. Figment superfans will defend him to the end, but we get what you mean when you say there’s something about those huge eyes and mischievous grin. On top of that, the ride itself is a fever dream of scents and sounds. At the end of the day, love him or fear him, Figment is an EPCOT legend.

The Skyliner

Karen said, “Getting stuck on the Skyliner; that is why I avoid it!”

Disney World’s Skyliner

The Disney Skyliner is a fantastic way to get around – until it’s not. Being suspended mid-air, swaying slightly, with nothing but the Florida heat and your own thoughts? No thanks. Disney assures us the system is reliable, but every now and then, it stops. And if you have a fear of heights? Well, forget about it.

Carousel of Progress

Shawna shared, “Being in Carousel of Progress again with someone’s small child screaming the entire ride.”

Carousel of Progress

Now, we love this classic attraction, but let’s be honest – being stuck in a rotating theater while a child wails through every scene is a special kind of theme park torture. There’s no escape. You just have to sit there, suffering through the technological progress and the tantrum.

The Scooter Stampede

Dana has been through it: “Getting ran over by a scooter – they have mowed me down many times – and I am NOT a slow walker!”

If you’ve been to Disney World, you know the fear of rogue scooters. You’re walking along, minding your business, and suddenly – BAM. A scooter zooms past, inches from your ankles. Some guests are careful drivers, but others? Absolute speed demons.

The Loss of a Hidden Gem

Next, we’ve got Angela V. who confessed, “That more and more people are discovering Rafiki’s Planet Watch and the Animation Experience. It used to be our quiet little slice of heaven…”

Rafiki’s Planet Watch

There’s something bittersweet about watching your favorite hidden gem get discovered. Rafiki’s Planet Watch has long been a peaceful retreat, but as more people catch on, it’s getting harder to find that solitude.

The Heat Trap

Angela S. said, “Being stuck on a ride that is outdoors, under full sun, in the middle of the summer, for hours.”

Slinky Dog Dash

Florida heat is no joke. Getting stuck in it? A total nightmare. We’ve seen it happen on Test Track, Big Thunder Mountain, and even Slinky Dog Dash. There’s nothing quite like baking in the sun with no escape while Disney Cast Members scramble to fix the issue. Hydration and sunscreen can only do so much!

DeVine

DFB reader Penelope shared, “DeVine. It weirds me out when it comes out of nowhere and creeps along.”

DeVine in Animal Kingdom

If you don’t know who DeVine is, she’s the camouflaged stilt performer who blends seamlessly into the greenery at Animal Kingdom. She moves slowly, almost unnaturally, and if you don’t see her at first? Well, she sees you. And that moment when she suddenly moves can send chills down your spine.

The Fear of Missing Out

Lastly, we’ve got Pat who summed it all up perfectly: “Not being able to go as often as I would like.” And honestly, that’s got to be the scariest one of all. Disney World is a magical place, and the fear of missing out on all the fun is very real.
