Love this ride, always makes me laugh!

A fun ride, especially for young children or just to beat the heat of a Florida summer!
Tim Harrison gave this a rating of 8 on 08/03/2016 at 9:33:53 am EDT

It is really cute. The boat goes faster than you can see all the different videos/actions in each scene. It has funny lines, and Donald is hilarious. I love the fireworks at the end. It a wonderfully classic Epcot ride.

This attraction is starting to feel old to me, and I feel like it would need renovation before I felt the need to go on it again.
Espeon200 gave this a rating of 5 on 06/30/2016 at 1:43:08 pm EDT

Cute and always a nice break from the heat.

It's goofy, but a nice memory lane kinda thing!

A must ride for our family. We like to hunt for the hidden Mickeys.

The three caballeros are a definite improvement!

We call it Mexico ' s It's a Small World. Love it!!!
scott disney dad gave this a rating of 7 on 06/20/2016 at 2:53:44 pm EDT

Needs modernization, but great since they added Donald to the mix years ago. Another great opportunity to sit down and relax in air conditioning on a hot day.
MissyMouse70 gave this a rating of 8 on 06/18/2016 at 10:03:40 pm EDT

We ride this every trip. I love it. Never a long line. Hate to rate it well, because I don't want everyone to find it!
KateLovesDisney gave this a rating of 10 on 06/17/2016 at 6:58:26 pm EDT

I righted every time. Could use some updating.
Papa Jim gave this a rating of 9 on 06/17/2016 at 2:57:04 pm EDT

Think of this ride as the Mexican version of It's a Small World". Love riding past the 'erupting' volcano and the diners at San Angel Inn (a great place to eat!).
Missi gave this a rating of 7 on 06/17/2016 at 1:48:52 pm EDT

A fun break from the heat

Love me some Donald
ashlvsq2004 gave this a rating of 9 on 06/15/2016 at 11:50:33 am EDT

This ride is like a Mexico-specific Small World. It's got a fun song and is one of the only rides in World Showcase so its a must-do for my kids every trip.
EvaKi gave this a rating of 7 on 06/14/2016 at 12:35:47 pm EDT

So fun! Nice place to get out of the heat and sit for a bit. "They say we are birds of a feather"!

Always a short line and a fun attraction.

Worth going to Epcot for

This is a simple ride, but always enjoy the fireworks at the end!
FARMERGIRL gave this a rating of 6 on 05/30/2016 at 10:59:34 pm EDT

An upgrade over the original. Cute if you have time to spare or are awaiting a FP elsewhere. Beautiful, atmospheric interior of the pavilion.
Marie the Cat gave this a rating of 5 on 05/30/2016 at 7:01:14 pm EDT

Love this ride.

cutiepie gave this a rating of 7 on 05/28/2016 at 8:48:54 am EDT

How can you pass up on Donald Duck? Always a must-do for me.
MayraLR gave this a rating of 7 on 05/27/2016 at 11:44:01 am EDT

A sentimental favorite because my kids liked it when they were younger, but really there's not much to it.
westport_chicky gave this a rating of 5 on 05/27/2016 at 10:59:52 am EDT

Ride like Small World. Fun and cool inside on a hot day.
