Today’s dose of Disney brings us one of Disney’s classic attractions.
The Carousel of Progress was originally designed by Walt Disney for Disneyland for a land called Edison Square, but when that didn’t work it was reimagined for the 1964-65 New York World’s Fair. The show was a success and so it then opened in Disneyland. In 1975 it opened in Magic Kingdom with a new theme song, “The Best Time of Your Life.” However, in 1994 the original theme song returned, “There’s a Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow.”
This 20 minute ride takes guests on a tour of how technology has changed over the years. Thanks to the revolving theater, guests see four different generations of the same family and how technology has helped their lives. Plus, it’s a good place to sit for a bit if you’ve been on your feet all day or if you need to get out of the heat.
You can find this attraction in Tomorrowland at Magic Kingdom. The theaters seat a lot of people, so the wait time is usually nonexistent.
Hope this brought a little Disney magic to your day!
Thanks for reading!
