A Disney classic from the 1964 New York World's Fair. You should see it at least once, just for the historic/nostalgic value. The theater revolves around a stationary stage (very progressive at the time)and your audioanimatronic host leads you through technological changes from the turn of the 20th century on. Although this may sound boring, it really isn't. Disney always has a way of making learning fun. And there's a catchy tune of course!
Some complain that the final scene should be updated, but when you think about the ride's inception in the 60's, it basically took you from 1900 to somewhat beyond the 1960's. Now fast forward 50+ years, past the turn of the NEXT century - that's a pretty big leap and a big gap to fill. So maybe that final scene could be updated. But I think it's an attraction that should never be replaced no matter how dated it might seem. It's so "Walt" and a great reminder of the great man who started it all.
Pros:
Wait times are usually short and it's a great way to take a cool seated break from the Florida heat and humidity. Great for all ages.Cons:
Some say it's dated...maybe that's its charm?Reviewed by Tink1027 Review Date: 04/21/2019

One of Walt's pride and joys and a can't miss, at least once in your lifetime. Also great on a hot day to go sit down in the air conditioning and enjoy the shoe. Great detail
