This list was inspired a recent episode of WDW Today podcast. I love the show but their website’s comment systems sucks something awful (everytime I try to post something with a carriage return I get website errors… and yes, I tried on Mac and PC).
The concept is that if Disney brought back the old ticket books, what would the attractions of today’s park rate. The best attractions were “E” tickets while the most basic ones were only an “A” ticket.
My opinion is that the ticket should be based on the time it takes to experience the attraction. So, the two animal viewing trail attractions are definitely C tickets. I’m almost tempted to bump Maharaja to a D because I think the theming is so great (see the photo…).
This list includes the actual attractions as Disney has broken them out. I think there’s a good “spread” of free and ticketed attractions (remember: Main St. Vehicles were an “A”)
