All three of the Fest's shorts are wonderful. Funny, emotional, and striking in 4D. A great place to take a break and cool down when EPCOT gets a little too sunny.
Pros:
Nice mix of shorts, AC, relaxing breaktime, emotional & fun storytelling.Cons:
They've played the same 3 shorts for maaaaaaaany years. Needs an update to make it a true film festival.Reviewed by PolynesianStitch Review Date: 08/27/2025

Cute to do once, good for small children, not a must do for an adults only trip
Pros:
indoors, good seatingCons:
aimed primarily at children, so skippable if your party is only adultsReviewed by DisneyGirlMelissa Review Date: 02/19/2024

I only did this show once but it was so cute; the A/C is crisp and I love the 4D effects. Get a Horse is one of my favorite Disney shorts so it's great to see it on the big screen. I just wish they'd switch out the shorts because then you could go back and see different shorts instead of it being the same shorts all the time.
Pros:
A/C watching Disney shorts like you've never seen before you feel fully immersed in the shortCons:
It's the same shorts all the time so there's no varietyReviewed by Liverlips59 Review Date: 05/29/2022

You're very much at the mercy of the shorts selection but even if you have to watch some mediocre shorts the 3D and interactive experiences in the theater more than make up for it. And this is hands down the best place to meet Mickey; the cast members at Town Sqaure Theater have major 'tude issues.
Pros:
3D/interactive experience, meeting MickeyCons:
Sometimes the shorts selection isn't that greatReviewed by Anonymous Review Date: 04/06/2021

Didn’t enjoy itReviewed by tetimko5 Review Date: 02/16/2021

This is a great attraction if you are looking to take a break or get out of the sun or rain. There is never a wait and its air conditioned! The last time we visited I was pregnant, so this was a great place to stop and rest our feet from walking around the world. The short films are always super cute and enjoyable to watch. Its not the most exciting attraction in Epcot, so older kids might not enjoy it, but it still is worth doing unless you are SHORT on time!
Pros:
air conditioned, hardly ever a wait, cute filmsCons:

Ran in at the beginning of a rain storm. Was a great break from the rain and really cute short films. Would go back even if it wasn’t raining. And my husband enjoyed the nap in the a/c.
Pros:
Air conditioning, cute films, great for a break for kids and adults.Cons:
Not super exciting or thrilling but it’s not meant to be!Reviewed by Anonymous Review Date: 09/29/2020

Really unique! Shows a lot of short Disney films that are really entertaining! Great to do if in a rain storm or after figment.
Pros:
Air conditioning and I loved the 3D effectsCons:

Not something I would go out of my way to do, but if you have time and checked everything else off your list, I would pay a visit. The shorts are cute, entertaining, and don't take much time out of your day. A great place to get out of the rain, get some A/C, or wait out for a dining reservation.
