I'm surprised that I'm the first one reviewing this attraction here as Walt Disney, himself,created this for the 1964 World's Fair. This show/ride will take you through the technological advances of the 20th century from the Gramophone to the electric iron.
You will follow an American family over 4 generations as technology advances and transforms their lives for the better. Other than watching the technological advances and seeing what the "then" pre-electrical to the "then" modern electrical conveniences were, I love the theme song of this attraction which is the Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow. This song gives you hope for a better tomorrow.
Pros:
It's a great attraction. I loved learning about technology's advances and I loved the theme song. Other pros are that it's inside and you can cook off when it's hot outside; this ride is about 25 minutes long.Cons:
I haven't found faults with this attraction, but others have. They don't like that it hasn't been updated to include today's technological advances.Reviewed by MelissaAndela Review Date: 04/17/2019

I love this attraction; it was created by Walt Disney himself, and is a classic example of Disney technology, commitment to progress, and detail. In this rotating theatre show you follow one family through the decades and the accompanying progress and advancements, and is well-done and entertaining. No it's not a roller coaster or big and flashy, but it is a true and fun piece of Disney history; a must-see in my opinion!
Pros:
A great chance to sit down and cool off while enjoying a classic Disney attractionCons:
