This has become my favorite Magic Kingdom attraction; I'd do it over and over again if my DH would let me! It's an attraction for all the senses! (maybe not taste though )
I highly enjoyed this show, it's tons of fun. Just make sure you don't sit in the front row as it's not as good of view and some of the special effects are kinda missed.
I think it's definitely worth it. I'm 47 years old and I just fell in love with it. Great 3D effects, a cute storyline - I like that Donald Duck is featured, he's one of my favorites and I don't see him enough. It's one of my don't miss attractions.
We absolutely love this show! We watch it 2 or 3 times every trip. Also, I don't know how old your son is, but it's the only 3D show that won't scare the little ones! Go see it and ENJOY!!
Yes, this is a great-for-all-ages attraction, and they do issue fast-passes for it (although the theater seats so many that it's not hard to get into -- or, at least that was our experience!). We saw it twice on our last trip.
One hint: if you end up waiting directly in front of the "theater" doors (the last area where you wait before they open the doors for everyone to enter the show), hang back. Let a good number of people go in before you -- do not think that it's good to enter the theater first. The reason is that the show is more effective if you're toward the center of the theater, and if you get through the doors first you'll be asked to move all the way to the end of the row and you'll be at the far edge of the theater (which would only be good if you wanted to be sure to get out quickly at the end of the show).
OMG is it worth it?????
It is now my favorite thing in Magic Kingdom. One week long trip we did it 5 times. Went back a few months later & we did it 2 times in a 3 day trip. It is AMAZING!!!!! A must do!!!!!
It's a great show... and you see something in this one that I've never seen in a 3D movie before... You always see things coming at you, but this is the first one I've ever seen where things come from behind you too. It's a spectacular show -- don't miss it!
I've seen it several times, loved it each and every time, even the one time where they had to stop it because the audio was out of synch with the movie and effects!
Of course, the fact that it revolves around my most favorite character of all doesn't hurt!
But I do think it's beautifully done, great animation and imagination put together for a wonderful show.
