A classic! You can really feel Walt on this attraction! It was a bit annoying that people could not stay in their seats in other theatres, so we had to re-watch an entire scene and had MANY interruptions from announcements telling people to stay in their seats.

Pros:

nostalgia

Cons:

annoying people who don't listen to cast!

This is probably the 4th time to do this one and it's the same....exact...story. The first few are fine...tells the history; but it's the last one that gets me. I really think they should update the very last scene with more updated technology. It still references "car phones" and "laser disks"...those were popular about 20 years ago. Maybe something with AI, updated VR or "smarter" appliances (not just the oven).

The attraction had "technical difficulties" when we were on it, which happens, I get it...but we had to watch the first scene all over again THREE TIMES.

Pros:

classic ride at WDW...you just have to ride it. AC, dark and you're off your feet for 12 mins.

Cons:

outdated

I put this one in the same category as spaceship earth... it's a bit outdated but there is something so wholesome and educational about it that you can't help but walk off being happier and more optimistic.

Pros:

Educational, inspirational

Cons:

a bit outdated

A great attraction for people who are interested in history and more heavy and educational attractions that also make you feel the whimsical vibe of 70's and 60's attractions, in which the idea of technological progress had a big influence. I love Epcot and the retro Tomorrowland vibe with the mix of outlandish concepts and futuristic ones.

Pros:

Very educational and eye-opening ride about life in the 1900's with a catchy song and classic animatronics. Air conditioning and a seat for about 15 minutes. Also, I like to watch it twice if I want a nap the second time.

Cons:

It can be boring for kids or people who aren't interested in history and are interested in other types of attractions in Disney.

This ride is very nostalgic, and that is NOT an opinion! Back in the 1964 World’s Fair, Walt Disney himself designed a show with a rotating theater to take you from scene to scene and learn about the different decades. They recently redid the last scene to make it feel like the present 2023, but now I think it just is lacking some of the nostalgia from 1964! Also, it has malfunctions pretty frequently. I gave this an 8 because overall, it’s a ride you have to experience at least once, but to get the other 2 stars, it just needs a little more work done to it, to make more NOSTALGIA!

Pros:

Classic attraction, rotates

Cons:

Needs more nostalgia!

Listen; I do NOT hate this ride. I think it's great and it's always a good time. The concept of a rotating theater is amazing and makes this ride unique. But, I wouldn't say it's a must do for most people. It tells a cute story but can seem outdated to most due to some references and period-typical attitudes towards women (in my opinion). I don't think it's something that a lot of younger (like myself) audiences will understand. Still, good Sherman Brothers music.

Pros:

Catchy music, inside, AC, moving theater

Cons:

Can be boring to some, a bit outdated

We love this ride! My 8 year old kept insisting we go on it again and again. The A/C is great, we love the song, it's nice to sit for a bit later in the day, there is never a line, and most of all, I love Disney nostalgia.

Pros:

old Disney, A/C

Cons:

this isn't for you if you are looking for adventure
