Ellen's Energy Adventure - yikes!

[AllieBoo]

We had never done this before, so I told my family we had to try it this trip - mistake.... I'm still shocked at just how lame and boring it was, lol! Needless to say, one and done for this one!

We like the entire attraction, with special kudos to the pre-show.

We see it once per trip, and make sure we time it to enter just after the previous pre-show guests get loaded into the theater room.

I used to enjoy it. I found myself napping through it this time.

 

[cygnusx1jg]

Not a favorite, but I'd rather do EEA 10 times in a row than ever do Swiss Family Treehouse again.

 

[OKW Lover]

Love Stupid Judy.

Well, not every visit. But we do enjoy doing the attraction if for no other reason than to be able to sit down for 45 minutes in air-conditioning.

 

[minnie mum]

We always enjoy this. After a morning of running around FW trying to cram in as much as we can, its a nice way to just relax ( in air conditioned comfort) for a while before lunch. And if a nap suddenly jumps up and overpowers me, well, that's OK too.

I love it! I'm a big fan of Ellen Degeneres, though (and Alex Trebec and Jamie Lee Curtis and Bill Nye) so I always get a kick out of it. And I always learn something, too.

But I get why people don't like it. It's pretty darn long!

(Isn't it interesting what attractions people like, and don't like? I myself am not a fan of Fantasmic. I thought it was boring and couldn't wait until it was over. But so many folks love it! Different strokes, I guess! )

 

[Ambear]

I actually think the dinosaurs in it are super cool. I wish they'd actually extend that part haha. The last scene with the stego is awesome!

 

[Napria]

Stupid Judy is a well-used phrase in our house... Whenever we're referring to someone who's right and we're not happy about it.

Yeah, I can see how it would be boring. But we like it and alway do EEA when we're in Epcot.

 

[soniam]

Great place for a nice, cool, dark, comfortable, long break/nap.

 

[barbliny]

Do it every trip - it's enjoyable enough - and it's a perfect activity when the heat gets too much or you are in need of a way to waste time between fast passes.

 

[Lisaloo]

Lol! My kids are too old to stay out of school for vacation now so we go to WDW in summer. Ellen is a life saver. Her AC is the best! We all enjoy it.

 

[BrianL]

Not a favorite, but I'd rather do EEA 10 times in a row than ever do Swiss Family Treehouse again.

I refer to Swiss Family Treehouse (and Tarzan's at DL) as "Stairs: The Ride."

Energy is okay, but it could really use an update. The videos with Ellen are so dated!

 

[Mikie]

I don't dislike it, but often end up napping. I was ready to tell the fam we'd strike it from our next visit when the 9 year old and 7 year old both shouted "no, I love that ride!" Okey dokey - I'm lightly amused by Ellen and Stupid Judy and could use the break for my feet!

 

[CinderElsa]

It's cool, dark, and has dinosaurs. I can't imagine what more you could want.

 

[HollywoodTowerHotel]

I have to agree with the masses. I get out of the heat and off my feet.

Tbh if Disney put in an air conditioned room with couches or hammocks I'd be in line. It's the reason I hate the song at the end of American Adventure, it always wakes me up. There needs to be more cool places to sit and relax in.

 

[Texas Mickey]

Agree with others, we enjoy the show and its a great way to cool off on a hot day while killing time between FPs

 

[Ears2YouVlog]

We do it in the afternoon especially on hot days. Great to get off your feet and even out of your shoes for minute and the dinosaurs rule!! Far more entertaining than just sitting down say... on a bench.

 

[disney world dreamer]

my family enjoys it.
we like ellen, bill nye the science guy (bill! bill! bill! bill!), and jeopardy.
stupid judy is a bonus lol.

i do admit that during the actual ride i do tend to close my eye.

i also love the weather and fashion report lol.

 

[oylerfam1]

I LOVE the Tree House. It's the first thing we do since we're already on our way to POTC!
