We absolutely loved our breakfast at kona cafe! The staff was very caring and provided us with many options to make our meal great, including sharing with us a wide variety of dairy free creamers for coffee! My partner and I both had the Tonga toast and were very impressed with the quality of the food! It’s the perfect balance of banana with thick cinnamon sugar toast. While you can get this item at Captain Cooks, the strawberry compote made the toast even more delicious. We also enjoyed the kona coffee and loved that our cast member let us take leftovers to go! I highly recommend this great breakfast spot
Pros:
Quality food and serviceCons:

As a child, this was my absolute favorite ride - hands down. It's exciting, humorous, and very immersive. The scene in between the two ships is still impressive after riding this a million times. My only quibble is the stuff that got changed over the years - like adding the movie characters, etc. It is still very much a much do and I still ride every trip at least once, usually more.
Pros:
the scenes are fantastic and you'll be humming the theme song for awhileCons:

I thought this ride was super cool when I rode it! The idea of flying on the back of banshee and making that happen is truly spectacular! Luckily we got fast passes for the ride, so we didn’t have to wait, however overall it was a super cool ride

Fundamentally, this is an attraction that fails its name.
I'm not sure there's any adventure on offer here at all. Disney — or maybe more specifically Walt's son-in-law, who approved the designs in this case — were far too enamoured of the east coast when building this thing, and therefore it doesn't feel fully American. Instead, it comes across as Libery Square through a minimally different lens.
While it's certainly true there are some awesome forced perspective tricks at play here, and that one could easily admire the technical proficiency of the show, the storytelling is just terribly boring.
I'd much rather see America represented as a mixture of different architectural styles, with multiple attractions that celebrate different aspects of the country. The colonial style of the pavilion should be entirely left to Liberty Square, with its clear focus on the government, not the people, of east coast America.
I even think Disney should one day put a thrill ride here, based on any number of American historical events to make real the "adventure" in the name. Tiana seems an excellent tie-in character, since Moana will soon be put to use in what won't be called "Future World" for much longer.
Or the ride could be the fifth major "mountain" at WDW. A Rocky Mountain-based coaster rising from the top of World Showcase could easily make America the place of adventure it should have always been.
Pros:
Classy place to hide out from the heat, I guess. Great bathrooms. Though both of these are really recommendations about the pavilion more than the show proper.Cons:
The very opposite of its name. Neither an adventure nor representative of America as a whole. Waste of space that could house a great Circle-Vision film and a decent ride instead.Review of Happily Ever After Fireworks

Amazing show! I love all of the characters that come out! The soundtrack is absolutely amazing, it has some fan-favorite songs and also some new ones that are so catchy and fun! The visuals and the dancing are also amazing! All of this is made so much better by being in front of the castle, it's very magical! I always cry when Elsa comes on stage (she's my favorite Disney character), and this is absolutely a must-do!
Pros:
Amazing soundtrack, great characters, good dancing, good visuals, very fun, in front of the castle!Cons:

Such a cute experience! I loved the show that happened throughout it and the theming inside is amazing! A lot of magic happens inside, especially when you step into the painting, and it's an incredible experience overall. I absolutely love how interactive it is, and I loved seeing the Beauty and the Beast characters and meeting Belle!
Pros:
Very pretty, cute show, some very magical moments, very interactive, meeting Belle!Cons:

Very fun ride! It is very thrilling and exciting because of how fast it goes and the small dips. The visuals are also very pretty, and the queue has a lot to see in it. A classic and an iconic ride, a must-do!
