RANKING

show. REQUIREMENTS None.
WHAT TO EXPECT The theater-style seating area rotates through four charming scenes of
American family life, highlighting changes in home technology from the turn of the last
century until the mid-90s. Designed for, and an enormous hit at, the New York World's Fair
of 64/65, the ride suffers from the lack of a recent update and is dull for many kids. Many
diehard Disney fans love it—and it's the only ride in the park that Walt Disney touched.
Unlike most theater shows, leaving midway through is not allowed due to the theater's
movement. SCARY FACTOR None.
WHEN TO GO Anytime attraction. See it when waits are long at other rides, or you need to
get out of the weather. EXPECT TO WAIT 5-10 minutes in the afternoon. LENGTH 20 minutes.

best views.
