We last rode this in May 2010. It was a walk on. The beginning is a little boring but I enjoyed riding through the greenhouses and seeing all the different things that Disney grows.

This is a nice boat ride and educational tour. I actually go on it every time I visit WDW. It's especially good if you're killing time waiting on that fast pass window for Soarin'.

If you like this ride and don't mind learning a little more while on vacation, sign up for the "Behind the Seed Tour." The tour lasts about 45 minutes and you learn techniques that you yourself can do at home to grow fruits and vegetables.

I love being able to see the greenhouses where plants and fish are raised at Epcot. Living with the land is a perfect way to spend time waiting for a fastpass to soarin to become valid

Call me crazy but I love this attraction. A word of advice though, never ride while hungry. It will make you more hungry.

this is one of those rides you can skip, not sure why they have a fast pass for it, because all you do is take a boat trip around gardens indoors

One of my favorite attractions. VERY relaxing and informative. Rarely much of a wait.
|
|
Cons:
|
audio recording in place of live host is cheap/immpersonal.
|
|
Always look forward to riding this attraction. Great way to sit, relax and watch/hear the wonderful things here. The big complaint I have is eleminating the live tour guide. They were always very engaging and you could ask questions. The recording is very lame and was a HUGE disappointment on our last trip. If not for that, it would get a 10. Great ride, though.

This is a nice relaxing attraction. It was better in the past when they had a cast member on each boat doing the narration and answering questions. I miss that a lot. The current narration is still very informative, just not interactive as it was in the past.
If you look up and to your left during the farm house scene you will see part of the Garden Grill restaurant.

This boat ride is educational. It does teach you a lot about how Disney's grows their own foods. Hidden Mickeys too

This ride is okay, but I think it's lost something since the narration is no longer done by a cast member. It's worth riding if you haven't seen it before, but I don't consider it a must do.

This is one of the few rides that lives up to the original concept of Epcot: Edutainment. You start off going through some show scenes of different environments and how those environments effect farming and vegetation. The second half of the ride goes through working greenhouses.

The first part show various ecosystems, some of which are also visible from the rotating restaurant above. Then the ride shows various farming and agricultural systems. My children usually do not enjoy this ride.

This attraction is actually very interesting. There is something about the leisurely pace of the boat mixed with the brightness of the green house that is very welcoming and relaxing. I'm not crazy about the fish/crocodile room, and the AA section isn't all that wonderful (though I dig the simple storm effects), but the ride over all is worth doing atleast once.

Very enjoyable attraction with lots of things to see, even though some of the 'state of the art' farming tech they're showing off was state of the art in 1982 and not so much now. Previously, the boats had a cast member as the 'guide' explaining things; I preferred that as occasionally they were willing to answer questions on the tour. Still, an old favorite.
If you're very interested in the greenhouse part of the ride, look into the Behind the Seeds tour for a closer look.

The younger crowd may get fidgety, it's a bit long. But once the kids see the aquariums of fish & alligators, and then the unique foods in the greenhouse, they'll perk right up!
Much more appreciated by the older crowd, but entertaining enough for the younger ones.

Living with the land is a good way to get away from the noise in the Land. It is educational, but slighted. The greenhouses are interesting.
Ity can be boring for people who are not interested in gardening. Also, if the ride gets stuck, stay in the boat. The cast members will eventually get you out after 45 minutes or so. Do not go through the emergency exits. There is no way out.

Love the classic Epcot theme here. Educational but entertaining at the same time. Has the potential to be a bit boring for smaller ones but my 5yo actually enjoyed it and made me tell her what each of the fruits and vegetables in the green house were.
And that's what makes this ride so great for me, it actually made my daughter interested in learning about different foods and farming techniques.

We were excited about going on this ride. The queue line was void of any theming and seemed to take forever, but the ride was great and worth the wait.
Being in the sea with Nemo and friends was very cool.

I love this ride, without doubt one of my favorites at Epcot. It's a slow moving boat ride that takes you through different (faux) environments, like a rain forest and a desert and then into Disney's green houses and aquacultural fish farms. You get to see some very unique growing techniques, plants and animals. It has a very "behind the scenes" feel to it.

My DS, who was 5 at the time, gets bored easily. Yet, this and Beauty and the Beast live on stage were his top favourites at Disney. My DD,was 7, she also loved this. I literally had to tear them away from the ride. After about the 4th time around. I think I would have fallen asleep the 5th time. This year I'm going to take them on the Behind the Seeds tour. Then maybe we won't need to ride so many times. If you want to relax in air conditioning with a short line..this is the ride for you...bring a pillow and catch a 13 minute nap..lol.
