From the late 1790s to around 1830, American public architecture was designed from a mixture of styles, including English Georgian---developed during the reign of King George III--which captured the spirit of the American Revolution.
The American Adventure combines Georgian-style classic buildings in what is intended as a people's mansion and includes examples from Williamsburg, Independence Hall, the Old State House in Boston, and Thomas Jefferson's home, Monticello.
The American Adventure is also a multi-media presentation that tries to capture the essence of American history. Disney uses huge movable sets, film clips and animatronic depictions of significant historical figures like Ben Franklin to make history (almost) literally spring to life.
The American Adventure is the ultimate in EPCOT's 'Learning is fun' attractions, but that means you can count on it to be entertaining for everyone. The animatronic figures are eerily accurate and keep the smaller children enthralled. Although the presentation is 30 minutes in length, there are no dull moments. In the afternoon heat, you'll probably wish that this seated, air-conditioned attraction was longer.
