Casual boat ride. Great way to fill some time. Rode again for the first time in many years, and it was just as I remembered.

Wave at people as you go by. They generally wave back. Mostly.

Pros:

Great filler attraction if you time it right and catch it as it docks.

Cons:

Slow boat rides might not be for everyone. It's not spine adjustment required after riding like Space Mountain, but it does have it's own charm.

This is a beautiful attraction, I’ve only been in it once but I would 100% recommend. It’s a great activity to do when you need a bit of a break in the park.

Pros:

Stunning scenery around the magic kingdom and lovely commentary explaining some of the hidden gems in the park. The boat is absolutely gorgeous as well. You’re also aloud to take food and drink on, I Thoroughly enjoying my pineapple Dole whip while cruising along the river...

Cons:

There are a couple of prime seats that were taken so I would assume you would need to get there early to grab that front row seat at the top of the boat.

fantastic example of vision and execution - really captures a snapshot of history that lends to the overall fabric of WDW Magic Kingdom and sets it apart from regular theme parks

Pros:

Genuine, working steam engines, ride duration, theming, history

Cons:

none

While I agree its not a thrilling attraction, it has some really beautiful views of Frontierland, Liberty Square, and Tom Sawyer Island especially if you are on the top deck. I think this is truly underrated and I like how the onboard narration provides the backstory behind Frontierland, as well as attractions like Big Thunder Mountain and even the Haunted Mansion. While not necessarily a must-do, if you're nearby when its pulling in to the station and you have time in between fast-passes or even just need a place to sit, I would definitely recommend this ride

Pros:

Beautiful views, relaxing way to see the park, and interesting narration

Cons:

Doesn't come very frequently

You can sit indoor or outdoor, and enjoy some scenery that not everyone can see

Cons:

Can get hot if you are outside

Riverboat!

Pros:

How many of you have been on a riverboat? That’s what makes this special...different....not everything has to be a thrill ride. You want that? Go to Busch Gardens.

Cons:

None...like the calming, restful, peaceful ride on a riverboat

Need to rest your feet? Have a boat loving kid? This experience (I wouldn't really call it a ride) is for you! A gentle journey around the Rivers of America. We sat on a box on the front of the boat and rested our feet for the 20 minute ride. Is it thrilling? Nope. Is it modernly educational? Nope. It may not be the ride you want, but sometimes, it's the ride you need.

Pros:

Calm and Relaxing Ride A 20 minute break from the chaos

Cons:

Young kids may get antsy Seating is limited so if you board late you may have to stand
