Love this classic attraction. Even though it needs to be updated to reflect the 21st century, it is still one of the best shows in WDW. I love how the dog appears in every time period.
Pros:
I find myself singing the songs from the show for days afterward. Very cute to see how appliances such as fridges looked in the 1940s etc.Cons:
Update the animatronics for at least the host and the dog. Use the same technology as the figure in Navi River Journey in Animal Kingdom. Perhaps make some parts of it 3-D? Have smells/sounds like in Mickey's Philharmagic?Reviewed by CrunchyBabyMama Review Date: 01/29/2020

My kiddo absolutely loves this ride. Which I find funny because it’s not the most exciting attraction there. But it’s perfect in the afternoon when everyone is hot and whiny and you need a break!
Pros:
Air conditioning! Almost never a long line because it constantly gets people in to see.Cons:
Sure, the last scene could use an update but it’s a Disney staple!Reviewed by Kenzj Review Date: 01/29/2020

A Disney classic! Absolutely love the history of this ride. Also perfect to escape the FL heat, and if you've seen it a few times it's a great 20 minute nap. Look for all of the hidden Mickey's throughout, too!
Pros:
Air conditioned, comfy seating, a timeless classic.Cons:
Last scene could be improved and it's annoying when guests try to exit during the middle of the show because then it starts the scene over. For the love of Walt, please follow cast member instructions.Reviewed by Anonymous Review Date: 01/29/2020

I love this ride despite it's age and kitchy-ness. It is Classic Disney. They could refurb the ending scene and I wouldn't be upset, but all the other scenes need to stay as-is. Even if you don't like the attraction, it is a great place to sit down and cool off. If you love history, you will love this. Pay attention to all of the little details that designers put into this.
Pros:
Practically perfect in every wayCons:
ending scene is a bit odd and wrong as far as getting the 'future' correctReviewed by ncole Review Date: 06/18/2019

This is a classic. You will definitely walk out singing the song in your head. The only thing is it could use some updating, but then that probably wouldn’t make it such a classic.
Pros:
A unique ride with a catchy songCons:
Somewhat out of dateReviewed by courtney Review Date: 06/17/2019

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.
