Great boat ride through various green houses and biomes. What is growing here changes from season to season and year to year so there is always something new or different. It is particularly interesting during the food and wine festival when they label which plants are being used in certain kiosks or recipes.
Pros:
Rarely a long line, lots to see, changing exhibits, good for all agesCons:

Beautiful scenery of France set to excellent French music. Gives a great tour of the country. Also indoors, air conditioned, with comfortable seats! A definite plus in hot or rainy weather or days with a lot of walking.
Pros:
Never crowded, you get to sitCons:
Some scenes are rather dated and could use a refreshReviewed by PolynesianStitch Review Date: 06/15/2019

Great ride for the whole family. Lots of detail, some mild thrills and surprises. Wonderful detail in the queue. Very immersive scenery including the Viking boats!
Pros:
Lots to see on all sides. More than just a flat boat ride, but drops are very manageableCons:
Lines can be very long during day. Best to go early or lateReview of Skipper Canteen

On this last trip to WDW (5/27/19-5/28/19), I decided to eat at one (or more) of the restaurants in The Magic Kingdom. I am Lacto-vegetarian (milk products, no eggs) and looked at the menus for the various restaurants. I made reservations stating I was allergic to eggs and found some items to eat before I arrived. The staff was friendly, asked if I had been there before, did their spiel about the ride (I liked it), did not repeat the second day (but would have if I asked). The table was ready, liked each time, I felt respected, even though I was a single diner. The second day, I was given the allergy friendly menu (I knew what I wanted the first day). I told my server I wanted the one dish with noodles and I was told a non-egg noodle could be substituted. I did not feel rushed, each server was attentive and friendly, there was little to no wait for my table, the food was delicious.
Pros:
Friendly, attentive staff; good food. Food allergy friendly. Good vegetarian dishes.Cons:

We were seated within 5 minutes, even though we were told they were running 20 - 30 minutes behind. I read some negative reviews about the food, but it was much better than expected. Our server came to our table right away and took our orders and then we didn't see her again for a long time. People who came in after us and had the same server, got their food before us. We had a food allergy in our group, and her food came out much later than everyone else's. Instead of asking her what she would have liked for a substitution, the just gave her a very large end cut of meat that was too tough to eat. I saw videos where there was great interaction with the evil queen. All she did when it was our turn, was just stare at us. She didn't speak or acknowledge the kids. The other characters were great.
Pros:
Prime rib and gnocchi were delicious.Cons:
Inattentive server. Poor character interaction with queen.Review of Country Bear Jamboree

This is a cute show everyone should see at least once. It is getting outdated and the bears could use some maintenance so their eyes and moving parts aren’t clicking so much.
Once you’ve seen it, it really isn’t all that entertaining. It could benefit from mixing the shows up and definitely an update.
It’s cute, but starts to drag after awhile. It is entertaining enough and you get to sit in a cool (temperature-wise) theater.
Pros:
Lines not usually too long, get out of the heat and sit in air conditioning, entertaining showCons:

A ride you have to do at least once because it’s Dumbo and an iconic ride. It is fun to control your elephant vehicle moving up or down and see a little around Fantasyland for a nice view. It’s nostalgic, fun for kids especially and a smooth ride.
Pros:
Good for all ages, an iconic Disney ride, smoothCons:
Long lines, short rideReview of Carousel of Progress

Everyone should see this at least once. It is an original so it’s impressive to think what they were able to do in 1964 technology-wise at Disney. It is, however, becoming a bit dated. As much as I like keeping it original, it needs to update scenes going beyond where it ends. Unfortunately, I think they’re unable to add to the ride so that would be removing some of the scenes and removing some nostalgia.
That said, it is something everyone she see once, but it does lose repeat visitor value since it is kind of a one and done unless you go for the nostalgia factor like I do.
See it at least once. You get to sit in a large, cool theatre and rest while the seats move around the stage.
