I've always loved LWTL and I am still bummed that they replaced the real human tour guide with canned narration. You used to get a different experience each time you rode, depending on the interest and expertise of your guide. It's really lost something but I still ride it at least twice on every trip.
As someone upthread said, it's one of the last "educational" attractions remaining from the original Epcot. (RIP Wonders of Life, upstairs Imagination pavilions.)
I have done the Behind the Seeds tour and that was really cool, so I'm always on the lookout for stuff that they talked about on that tour while I'm riding in the boat. For example, they get those baby alligators from an alligator farm, and when they get too big, the farm comes & gets them and gives them new babies. Someone asked what the farm did with the big alligators and the guide said he didn't know, as they were not Disney property. I think I know but there were kids on our tour so I shut up......
