If you go to Disney to experience the magic of classic Walt Disney, then you must, MUST do this ride. The music is older but catchy (Sherman Brothers!), the animatronics are cute; and being from Hawaii, I kinda like the tropical vibe of the place. This is a show and not a ride.
Pros:
Get to ride an original Walt Disney ride; get to sit down; very rarely a huge long line to get in; air-conditioning; some fun surprises from the totem poles; great if you like birds; near the Dole Whip and you can bring food (and eat it!) insideCons:
Not all the seating is equal, so some front row seats are better than others; slightly dated; supposedly boring (for people who need to constantly have adrenaline coursing through their veins...for those who like to occasionally take a break in an otherwise crazy park, don't listen to them)Reviewed by Glittermagic Review Date: 01/06/2020

One of about 2 dark rides in DCA. It is a re-skin of the Ellen's superstar limo ride from when DCA first opened. However, its an accurate representation of the original Monster's Inc film. Where we get to be in Monstropolous and see all our favorite characters from the movie. Roz at the end is hilarious! We really enjoy this ride, and there is usually little to no wait time.
Pros:
Inside Queue is well themed, (Check out he snack machines!) Classic Dark Ride Monsters Not scary Almost always no waitCons:

The best dark ride in Fantasyland. However, would not wait longer that 30 min for the ride. The line can get REALLY long at peak times. Great for littles, people who love Peter Pan.
Pros:
Adorable storytelling Pirate ship ride vehicle Your get to flyCons:

Living with the Land is the perfect Epcot attraction. It's entertaining and interesting, while also teaching you something. It's a slow, relaxing boat ride through green houses and there is rarely a long line. In my opinion, it's one of the underappreciated gems at WDW.
Pros:
Educational, interesting, and relaxing.Cons:

If I could give this a 20/10, I would without hesitation. To me, this ride is an absolute masterpiece. The story it tells and the way it tells it are absolutely beautiful. Is it the most exciting ride at Walt Disney World? Absolutely not. For me, though, I can't think of a ride that makes me feel so many things in such a short period of time. When Disney eventually closes this ride down for refurbishment, it's going to be an incredibly sad day for me.
Pros:
The perfect Disney attraction. Incredible musical score and narration.Cons:
If I had to pick one con, it would be that the big "finale" at the top of the ride is a bit underwhelming.Review of Journey Into Imagination

I know people love this ride. I tried really hard to like it, but I can't. The ride feels rushed and cobbled together. I'm honestly not sure why Disney ever changed the original version of the ride, or why they haven't gone back to a more modern take on the original yet. Like most things in Epcot, though, this feels like a nice bit of 90s nostalgia, so I can at least appreciate that. Ride it once if you want to understand the Figment hype, but realize that you might not get it if you didn't also experience the original ride.
Pros:
90s nostalgia.Cons:

I doubt anyone will honestly say that this is their favorite ride, but it's a fun way to kill a bit of time while you wait for a dining reservation or fast pass. Lots of vibrant colors, fun story, and Donald. Everyone who grew up singing along to the Three Caballeros Disney Sing-a-Long tape should ride this at least once.
Pros:
Fun, feel good ride.Cons:
Not really exciting - it's kind of a mental screensaver of a ride.Review of Big Thunder Mountain Railroad -- DLR

Like with Hall of Presidents, you'll love it if American History is your thing. If it's not, you'll probably feel like this attraction is a bit campy. Still, it's extremely well done and well executed (and I'm one of the people who thinks it's cheesy) and the theater is GORGEOUS. Check it out if you enjoy American History, or just want a break from the heat.
Pros:
Extremely well thought out show. Theater is beautiful and very comfortable.Cons:

This ride is an absolute classic, and everyone should ride it at least once. It's one of my favorites, and I could definitely ride it multiple times in a single trip. Having said that, I definitely see where some people are coming from not liking this ride. The music is nice, but it is extremely repetitive, and after seeing the Disney characters in Tokyo and California's ride it's all I want to see on this one. Disney doesn't need to make big changes to make this ride significantly better.
