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:

A lot of magic happens inside, especially when you step into the painting, and it's an incredible experience overall.

Amazing ride! It's very beautiful and all of the glowing plants and creatures are amazing. There is always something new and beautiful to see in the ride and it is very calming and gorgeous. The Na'vi shaman at the end is also amazing!
