This was one of our favourite shows we saw. It’s got the nostalgia for us. I’m sure we watched it as kids. The costumes, music and stages were fantastic and definitely worth watching. I also love the atmosphere in the theatre especially for the last show of the night.
Pros:
Excellent singing and acting Stunning costumes Funny and sweet Cool place to sit Can usually get a seatCons:

Tom Sawyer Island is a hidden treasure at Walt Disney World. However, years of neglect by park management have taken a sad toll. It still offers a break from the noise, crowds, and chaos of the park and is an enjoyable break in your day. It's a great place to avoid a meltdown, calm down, relax in a rocking chair, and explore. There used to be a number of babbling streams, ponds, waterfalls, and creeks around the island, providing a soothing, pleasant white-noise to help muffle the crowd noise from across the river. I believe they've all been shut off years ago by the bean-counters to reduce maintenance. Even the streams in the caves and tunnels that added to the ambiance have been turned off.
The barrel bridge is still there, and I've never met a kid who didn't like bouncing along across it or the swinging bridge. Old Scratch's Mine is a classic "mystery mine/mystery house/mystery spot" style attraction, where optical illusions and perspective tricks are used to make things seem as they aren't. The slant of the path makes you feel you're being pulled to the side, toward "magnetic" jewels. A trickle of water appears to run uphill. Rock formations look like silhouettes of people. The perspective of the mine support beams makes it seem as though you are growing larger and covering a great distance swiftly.
Aunt Polly's used to serve fried chicken and sandwiches, lemonade, and sides. Now it's just a spot with a few drink vending machines. The fort doesn't have as many animatronics as it used to (there are definitely fewer chickens), and the ones that are there don't seem to get much love from the maintenance department. The underground stream you cross in the escape tunnel is now dry. In the 80s and 90s, the playground was exciting. Instead of the current one, it was made out of boulders with a big stone teeter-totter and a big spinning stone merry-go-round. I had to be pried away as a kid because it was so different from any other playground.
The island was fun to explore, with lots of paths with changing terrains, your eyes having to shift between the interior darkness of the mill, caves, and mine, dappled shade under trees, and bursts of bright Florida sunshine. Back when you had two riverboats, two keelboats, the rafts, and a flotilla of the explorer canoes, all navigating the river, it was fun to watch the traffic on the waterways. The cave was designed to be spooky but not overwhelming for adventurous children, who then feel proud of themselves for making it all of the way through.
Honestly, Tom Sawyer's Island needs loving restoration work. It still has charm and serves as an "escape" from the rest of the park, but it could be a jewel if broken things were fixed, some enhancements added, and missing decorative items returned. The flaming settlers cabin hasn't worked in ages. The cave along the river, full of river pirates plotting their next attack, has had it's effects turned off and a boat parked in its opening as a static decoration. There are fewer props around everywhere.
Those who shout that the island is boring are only telling everyone around that they lack imagination, have lost touch with the with the part of themselves that remembers childhood wonder, and perceive little unless it's right in front of their nose as obvious as someone jingling keys to distract a baby.
Those who moan that the island has no attractions misses entirely the point that the island itself *is* the attraction. It's a refuge from the park and a very detailed open environment to explore.
Pros:
Great low-stress break from the rest of the park. It's a place to relax and explore.Cons:
Has been neglected severely by maintenance. Disney management seems to have a philosophy of "if it breaks, turn it off and hope no one notices or complains too much that the effect/decorative item/theming/ambiance/etc. isn't there anymore".Review of Energy Bytes

Went to order— waited in line for 25 minutes as employee cleaned and ignored us. There was no sign of the store being closed. On google maps, it was open for another 3 hours. When he finally came to window, he barely cracked it, rolled his eyes at us, had us order, and then yelled at us that it was closed, then slammed the window on us. Ruined our experience entirely, had my brother crying, and ruined the magic entirely. Do not recommend. Ordered may 19TH 5pm.

Ordered the Salmon Salad. The salad was 90% whole spinach leaves with none of the stems removed. The salmon was dry, crunchy and over cooked. Very small amount of the other items that were listed on the menu. It was over priced for what we got.
Pros:
It was a salad.Cons:
It was not that good and was over priced. Will not come back.Reviewed by Anonymous Review Date: 05/16/2025

I think fast and furious is a very bad ride. There was this long line and I just couldn’t get the ride because I hated it. It was very awful. I just don’t get it! Russ 8 Years Old

I stayed at All Stars Movies for 2 weeks and was very disappointed. The soundproofing is terrible. I had to go to sleep with the TV on every night and sometimes with my hands covering my ears. If you expect to take a nap in the afternoon, forget it. Housekeeping does not come until 4:00 or later. I left a message for the manager to return my call regarding my complaint, but he did not return my call. I went to the lobby to complain and he was too busy to talk to me. I cannot go without a nap when the temperature is at least 90 degrees or more, so I elected to go without housekeeping for 5 days. Movies is supposed to be the best of the three All Star resorts. However, the bus system for Movies is terrible. I am 80 and rented an ECV. One bus driver refused to let me on the bus and another bus driver refused to help me get on the bus. Sometimes cheap is not the best way to do things. I was glad to leave the resort this morning. I stayed at Pop Century twice and would highly recommend it.
Pros:
Foodcourt was okay.Cons:

This is nothing but a kiddie playground with no real attractions! Most kids could care less about it! I am tired of watching grown adults throw temper tantrums over it! People who come back with the reply of well why don't you just get rid of the castle then are beyond ridiculous! Cinderella Castle is a symbol and an icon of the entire park! Rivers of America is just an inferior clone of Disneyland's River! Tom Sawyer Island is for boring people who just want to sit around all day instead of actually riding and doing stuff!
