Positive aspects of the product (pros): Very inspiring, Cool and comfy on a hot day. Cons: Not very exciting for kids.
Always a must for me when I am at Epcot. I love history and this is a great way to feed that love. The chairs are cushy and the A/C is on, so a great way to beat the heat on a hot day. (I have heard that some people use this as a way to take naps - I'm just saying.) lol

Positive aspects of the product (pros): Every Seat is Good, Comfortable, Good Edu-tainment Cons: Could be boring for Tweens/Teens
As an adult I found the American Adventure attraction to be fairly interesting, entertaining, and at times quite emotionally stirring, but it lost my 8 year old daughter almost immediately. The scenes from 9/11 choked me up as it does almost every American, I'm sure.
Of course, there's always the benefit of getting off your feet for a while, in a dark theater, that is well air-conditioned.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): Air conditioning, music Cons:
This is another attraction that is good to get out of the heat. I love listening to Voices of Liberty prior to the show especially at Christmas time. The music at the end of American Adventure along with the video moves me everytime. It's a must see for me every trip

Positive aspects of the product (pros): Patriotism, music Cons: may be long for kids
This may be one of those attractions that people either love or hate. For me, I love, love, love the American Adventure. From beginning to end it is dramatic and engaging as technologically advanced animatronics and emotional music immerses you seamlessly from scene to scene. The final film motange of pop and historical icons going into the finale song is not to be missed. Note: little kids, and maybe teenagers admittedly may be bored throughout, but adults should find it fantastic.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): Inspirational classic Cons: Under appreciated attraction
One of my favorite animatronic shows. It's an inspirational look at the history of America, that genuinely moves you every time. The technological complexity of the show is amazing. My belief is that if somehow Walt Disney was brought back, this would be one of the few attractions at Disney World I would want him to see.

I marvel out how this is done. It's seemless. Just the right length, not too short, not too long.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): great for adults Cons: boring for smaller children
this attraction is great for adults, a nice way to teach older kids about American pride, and almost completely lost on smaller children.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): Good show, great animatronics Cons: Hall of Presidents degree of 'boring'
I've always really enjoyed this show, which is well done and has some pretty cool animatronic elements in it. It's not a must see for me every time, but I would definitely recommend everyone see it at least once.
If your kids - or other traveling companions - are bored by the Hall of Presidents in the Magic Kingdom, there's a good chance they'll be bored here, too, though the presentation is somewhat more lively.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): patriotic, good show, good music Cons: not real exciting for teenagers
I love this show. It makes me feel patriotic and sparks an interest in history. I like that they have kept the America song that they used back when EPCOT opened (they did change it a bit) but it is sentimental and I love it! It is nice and air conditioned and a great break from the busy parks. DH isn't as crazy about the show, but he can relax and get a little shut eye if he wants to.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): elaborate audio-animatronic tableaux Cons: children may find this too educational or boring
I really enjoy this show, but my children do not. It is very patriotic and typically makes people feel proud to be American.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): Patriotic and great technology Cons: None
Another example of a show that was updated very well. The show is a mixture of animatronics and film that traces the "American Adventure" through time. It brings a tear to the eye, especially the closing montage. I always get off the ride reminded of why I do love my country, even though we all don't agree on everything we do.

This is technologically stunning - but God bless it, this puts us to sleep EVERY TIME. Make sure you get there in time for the Voices of Liberty.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): regal building, well done Cons: none
I was able to see the flag from 9/11 on display here...the animatronics are amazing. 2 of the 19 cost over 1 million each...they are on train tracks..and it is amazing if you know the story behind everything. It makes me proud to be an American

Positive aspects of the product (pros): Theodore Roosevelt Cons: not enough Oprah
As a huge patriot, this attraction has to be one of my top two. Benjamin and Mark serve as competent and brilliant tour guides as they help us navigate the history of this glorious land. While I find each and every scene to be a magical and emotional experience, the highlight has to be that feeling of triumph I experience as I watch Theodore Roosevelt towering over the stage amidst the cliffs of Yosemite. This attraction also features three of my fav tunes, "Two Brothers," "Golden Dream," and that pilgrim one. I cannot recommend this beautiful attraction more strongly, and I always leave feeling as though I'm sailing on freedom's wind across the sky.

The building (in and out)is so beautiful. Cast members here are some of the friendliest anywhere. The production is just amazing. A true must-see.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): Historical Cons: got some length to it
This show brings a lot worthwhile to your World Showcase (and particularly USA Pavilion) tour. It portrays a lot of America's history in an interesting way, but it is a longer show to watch.

One of my favorite attractions in Epcot. We were able to view the full Voices of Liberty show beforehand. What an amazing group!
The show itself is awesome. I love the music, and I always cry a bit during Golden Dreams. This show never gets old!

Not a fan of this one. Hubs LOVES it, but I just can't find the appeal. I'd rather sit downstairs and listen to Voices of Liberty- THEY'RE GREAT! This movie is old and depressing.
