What I Didn't Like
There are quite a few Disney attractions I've experience that I don't like. But at DCA I encountered the first Disney attraction that, in my opinion, has no business being called an attraction. That would be the Mission Tortilla Factory tour. I never had a problem with Disney putting two factory tours into DCA. Factory tours can be interesting and the Boudin Bakery Tour, while nothing to write home about, was ok. But the Mission Tortilla Factory tour ... it's not that it was bad - it's just not an attraction. It would be fine as a part of a store or restaurant, but it's not an attraction - at least not what I saw.

I didn't like how many borders in the park are just walls. Not landscaping, or an attraction, or a berm - just a wall. I'm not really one to notice things like that, but I noticed it a couple of times at DCA. There are also some places where Anaheim hotes or the convention center serve as the backdrop of the park. It looks very good when the Grand Californian is the backdrop. It looks less than good when the Anaheim Convention Center is the backdrop.

Considering how much I loved this show, I should lose some weight going up and down these stairs.

I didn't like walking up all those stairs to the mezzanine level of the Hyperion Theater. I know it's my fault for being so out of shape, but still an escalator would've been nice. I can't think of another Disney attraction that goes nearly that far up without an escalator or moving sidewalk (there did appear to be an escalator from the mezzanine to the balcony and an elevator was available for disabled access).

I didn't like how the jokes in the first part of the Superstar Limo queue repeated too quickly. There needs to be more of them. Ok, it's a minor quibble, but there's not much I didn't like - I had to think of something.
