[@Mordred1004]

One of the most underrated shows in Disney. I love Carrousel of Progress!

[@josevelez2206]

I agree 💯%

[@JavaCake]

Same.

[@saviorself1164]

I do too but, it could definitely use some updating.

[@penngidget]

I was blessed to see this w my parents and grandparents eons ago

[@viviennemorgan7217]

@The real Trainking productions 2023 how?

[@1981deloreanfan]

RIP Robert Sherman (1925-2012) and Richard Sherman (1928-2024). The two of you gave us one of the best show tunes.

[@the_mackshack]

I absolutely love the optimism so inherent in this attraction. And I admire the message that the ultimate reward of progress is more time for wholesome recreation together as a family. Just good old fashioned American values. I don’t think you’ll ever see a modern theme park attraction like this again.

[@HalasterBlackCloak-u2w]

too bad it's not necessarily true. many families are working more than ever thanks to the policies of the government and landlords charging high rents. This show exalts technological progress but sadly doesn't talk about the necessity of moral progress to make sure teh time-saving devices and tech don't get used to oppress the people. Without equal access to land for example, you are going to get high rents leading to people working all the time not spending time with family.

[@andrewh4855]

My Mom would always make us visit this show and as a kid I would rather ride Space Mountain or Pirates. But as an adult I came to really enjoy this show and is a must anytime I'm at the MK. Tfs 4K.

[@poseidonskidfromfrance]

My mom forced my to go on it but when i go back to Disney this year it is a must

[@SaraHouck461]

Speaking of which, the "something to do" line in the third act should serve as an obvious hint for a legitimate reason for experiencing this attraction, basically by giving guests something to do while waiting for their next designated ride or dining reservation, so they won't feel bored over having to spend too much time in line!

[@unclerudy9797]

Love it ! I was on this at the 1964 Worlds Fair when it was introduced ! Great attraction and highly underrated ! Thanks for posting !

[@4KWDW]

That is so amazing Rudy! I can only imagine how cool it was to be there for that! Thanks so much as always 😃

[@unclerudy9797]

@@4KWDW I remember touching the foot of Michelangelo's Pieta when it was on display at the 64 Fair too. It was a boat ride that was passing by the statue. Crazy stuff..

[@fire32468]

Wow that sounds incredible! What was the World Fair like? Did you ride It's a Small World too?

[@misslora3896]

I got to experience it back in 1973 when I was just 4 yrs old, during it's last yr at Disneyland. I absolutely loved it, it was the most stand out memory I always had from that visit. Disneyland replaced it with "America Sings" in the lead up to the bicentennial in 1976. I'd always wished I could see it again. I was in my early teens when I learned it was actually at Disneyworld, but still figured I'd never see it. Thankfully in 1996, with a little family of my own by then, my husband got stationed in the Tampa Bay area. I first went with my 2 young daughters and got to enjoy sharing it with them, and later went back with just my husband. It was his 1st time seeing it despite also growing up in Southern California when it was at Disneyland. I've always been grateful I got to fulfill my childhood wish of getting to see it again and I still love it just as much today, a little over 50 yrs after I first saw it.

[@josevelez2206]

One of my all-time favorites. My trip to MK is not complete if I don’t enjoy this attraction. Too many happy and nostalgic memories seeing my children on their first trip (1988) enjoy it too. Thank you always 4K WDW for the joy you bring us with your excellent videos✨😍✨😍✨Greetings 👋😃

[@4KWDW]

Having those wonderful memories must be so special José! Thanks so much for always watching!

[@kenk910]

That song just sticks in your head!

[@paigereno95]

We saw this show in 1980 when GE sponsored it. My mom and I watched the video last year. We had lots of great memories of this show and Walt Disney World. She passed away a few months later and I'm glad we saw this. It was fun to go down memory lane.

[@4KWDW]

I’m truly so sorry for your loss.

[@Jazzy_Waffles]

Haven’t fully watched this in years. I’ve been trying to watch more WDW ride footage as I live in the west, and haven’t been to WDW in 22 years. It almost feels like a completely different park since I’ve been. Carousel of progress was alway one of my favorites because I just enjoy Audio animatronics.

[@mindlessdroid3630]

One of our favorites. Anything that can be traced to Walt is a special attraction.

[@lehrlacher]

One of my favorites and a definite must-do!! I’m always singing this song to my 2yr old! This was great, thank you so much!

[@ntexas100]

LOL! I do the same thing with my granddaughter who is now 3 years old. I'm starting on my 1 one year granddaughter too. They both love it. Of course, "It's a Small World" song is number one for them. At least it's not the Frozen song. hahahaha

[@elijahh9904]

I sat through this 5 times as a kid because the park was about to close. So glad to see its still there

[@Liz.R]

🎠It's not flashy, but iconic to WDW. Glad it's finally in your library and no one messed up your filming. Not sure why they don't change the last scene (clothes) more than they do (such a big deal wouldn't be made about it....) but it's a nice place for A/C as long as you get there before it closes! Thanks for keeping in the preshow with Walt! 💜

[@AlextheHistorian]

They just changed the clothes in the last scene not even a month ago. They are all wearing modern clothing.

[@ScottTeresi]

@@AlextheHistorian It's nice they did that, but the home and all the tech is basically straight out of 1997.

[@greenbeantm1096]

@@ScottTeresithe home maybe, but not the tech 😂

"There's a great big beautiful tomorrow" is a banger!

[@Hubbs04]

It’s a classic. Must do every visit.

[@lindawhitley1772]

Thanks so much for the visit. I love the carousel! I can't go anymore and this makes me feel like I'm there.

[@patriciamcbride460]

Great video! I experienced the Carousel of Progress at the 1965 New York World's Fair! That's how old I am!!

Wow, that is so amazing Patricia! That must have been so cool to see! Thanks so much for always watching 😃

[@ciscoduncan1490]

I’m just glad that they’re showing a little love for the attraction given a little bit of a facelift anyway. Need to update the soundtrack at the end of the show no one’s really using laser discs anymore. Lol Thanks for the video.

[@jessica45577]

We took our kids on this for the first time last month when we were at the parks since it was hot outside… good memories.

[@CraigSiegel32]

Really enjoy the ride videos. I know the copyright thing is a pain, but I’d love to see more.

[@joseharo5975]

One of Disney best shows. I remember watching it at Disney Land. I wish Disney Land could have a copy of the show. Great video brings back very great memories.

[@gerryevans5899]

It's so nice to hear the wonderful voice talents of the incomparable MEL BLANC as "Uncle Orville." Speaking of great voice talents, Thurl Ravenscroft (aka the voice of "Tony the Tiger" of Kellogg's Frosted Flakes fame) provides the race play by play at the Tomorrowland Indy Speedway. He's also one of the crooning Ghouls at the Haunted Mansion as well as one of the singers on The Pirates of the Caribbean. Thanks for sharing this post. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@4KWDW]

That’s awesome, I always love when you share really neat information about the parks Gerry! Thank you so much as always 😃

[@Mysteryof89]

NO privacy around here!

[@anneahlefeld1989]

Thanks for doing this one! Talk about nostalgia. My great Grammy loved this ride and I do as well. Now is the time , now is the best time of your life! I can't wait to get back on in January.

[@araminthethicket]

This is a favorite of my 12 year old, he watches every video he can find on it. He was excited to see a new upload and commented that you did a really good job of filming. 💗

[@araminthethicket]

Also, he was very excited to see that the characters in the modern scene have new clothes and wigs! That must be very recent as we were there in April.

[@4KWDW]

That is so nice! Yes, they just changed the ending scene outfits about a month ago! Thank you both so much😃

[@ntexas100]

I remember my mom use to refer to the "ice box." For years, I would call our refrigerator the ice box. My daughters were confused, so I had to explain it to them. To this day I'll still occasionally say, "Put it in the ice box." CofP has always been a favorite of mine because it reminds me of my parents. I'm glad they did a little update on the last scene. I keep thinking one day Disney is going to demolish the attraction.

[@4KWDW]

Haha yes, I like to say ice box too here and there! There are some things from the past that I like to keep alive for as long as possible. Hopefully this attraction will continue to be here for many more years to come! Thanks for watching as always 😃

[@WillMarkert]

I love this last at 19:05 because it’s supposed to take place in the future, but it’s actually much closer to today.

[@husker-2096]

It’s cause they haven’t updated the ride since 1993.

[@suzannataylor767]

Love this show!!!! Can't wait to visit it again this September!!!

[@jmc224]

We were out there this past May. And out of ALL the rides our three year old (now 4) enjoyed was this one. And I couldn’t be more proud as a Disney Dad.

[@DisneyMom2011]

I never miss this ride when I'm in MK. It's so relaxing and interesting as well. Thanks - another great 4K WDW video. 😁

[@4KWDW]

Most definitely! It’s a very underrated attraction at the Magic Kingdom for sure, and am so glad it’s still here. Thanks so much as always 😃

[@wslaxmiddy]

I don't know why I love this show so much but I always have. Even when I was like 7 I still loved this show. Also it was always super nice to get out of the sun and into an air conditioned theatre for a half hour Have to see this at least once everytime I get to the magic kingdom

[@jonathanbishopmusic]

Nice that they finally updated the clothes everyone's wearing in the last scene. They really ought to update the script and the props though... The technology depicted in this scene was cutting-edge in the 90's (though believe it or not all of it did exist and was widely available back then) but nowadays all of that technology has become commonplace and much more evolved, or in the case of things like laser discs and car phones has been superceded by newer technologies.

[@maxzavat]

Yeah!Finally! They also have updated "the father" and some wigs ;)

[@weaseljavelin9443]

My name is Craig Dennis i watch your day and your videos are great videos i in joy all of your videos all time i never miss your videos 👍👍👍👍👍

I’m glad I made time to see this one in my last trip, it’s such a nice time

[@comeasachild]

We took our grandson, who was 12 going on 13 at the time, to see this attraction back in 2014. He loved it! It had been raining that day, and his dad and grandfather decided to go back to the hotel. So...I told him we were going to let our "inner kids" out and ride the kid rides. He was all for it! We rode the Dumbo ride, the Goofy coaster, It's a Small World, Carousel of Progress, and the Buzz Lightyear laser ride, the LeMans raceway.. We ended the night with the parade, lightshow, and fireworks. We had a BLAST! The grandson is 22 now, but we still talk about that trip! ❤😊

[@cristieshenold8921]

One of my favorite attractions.

[@Eternaldarkness3166]

This is 1 of those shows, you love so much that you can just listen to the audio and know exactly what's going on.

[@adamshapiro4695]

Great video! The Carousel of Progress is definitely an American Classic! It was a good idea to see folks packed the theater on a hot July Day. True facts. The Wright brothers’ first controlled powered airplane fly and Charles Lindbergh flew over the Atlantic to Paris!👍🏻😊🇺🇸

I reallly hope that this ride never closes & has its final day.

[@natureseeker9122]

7:30 heh. As a kid, I remember noticing things like that curtain on the left visibly showing the set piece rotating and feeling so special having figured it out.

[@aviduser1961]

Beautifully shot! I fell in love with this attraction in the early 1970's at Disneyland. Back then, instead of exiting the building, guests would take a moving ramp from the stage that would take you to the 2nd floor. There, we would experience the post show. The model of EPCOT was in the center. You can see a slice of the EPCOT model on The Peoplemover. Anyway, Mother and Father would describe how this modern city was an electric city of the future. GE was the sponsor and this was a free attraction back when there was an A-E ticket book.

[@deandennis395]

Such a great show ride. I wish it would get a TRUE update.

[@RANGERS_ANTI-BAGELS]

i love how this not only shows the progress, but how people got less and less grateful for their stuff. they were so much more happy and grateful back in the day

[@SammyM00782]

Well...to be fair, things were absolutely ground-breaking for your everyday person back then. I was born in 82 and I fail to find anything groundbreaking in my life so far other than the internet. Sometimes I feel like I'd rather hit the reset button and struggle through this shows timeframe.

[@poppyonline4034]

I mean it was shit to have to live back then though

[@mikefischer9327]

Still a favourite of mine

[@genesis-138]

“Papa, all these people, I’m indecent!” “Don’t worry, Patrica, they’re friends.” 💀 In all seriousness though. I liked this ride for the wrong reasons, such as that conversation. Not here to judge the people who love this ride though.

[@TheDudeVT]

I just brought my family on the carousel of progress. It was just as cool at it was when I went as a kid. Short line and it was a nice change of pace and it was in the AC! Keep the carousel of progress going!

[@SaraHouck461]

The "air cooling" mentioned in the second act could probably hint at that particular reason for experiencing this attraction that my mom was obviously no stranger to.

[@itsmaxx_fr]

Funny story when we went to Disney last spring. We finished the show, but the last part of it during Christmas kept playing and they wouldn’t let us out until it was over. It never ended, so we just left while the stage was moving. 😂

[@Arts-and_carfts]

bro how were you not crushed by the rotating walls

[@zinctherat6967]

[@johnturcsik2906]

The part when it’s Christmas time is my favorite because I see a lot of animatronics and I could tell that they had to make sure this part was working perfectly because it has the most moving animatronics

[@milodeescorpio3658]

I hope they never close this ride. While it is one of the oldest and "simplest" it is my favorite. The first one I ride once I get to Magic Kingdom

[@thaitemple1807]

John: Uh oh! I’ve blown the whole neighborhood again. Neighbor: Gary! He did it again! Go over and give that neighbor of ours what for! Rover: (growls) John: Easy, Rover. Jee whiz, he didn’t do it on purpose. Why can’t we all just get along?

I must have ridden this a hundred times. It was the BEST escape from the heat, but I ended up falling in love with it.

[@ConradProteus]

im mind blown, this show its amazing

[@JadeDelphi]

How come it skips from the 1940s to present day? Kind of a leap, js

[@JavaCake]

The final scene was originally the 1960s, and the final scene is the only one that got a time period change.

[@melindacohea127]

This version is a 1990's update. The last scene originally was set in the modern day for the World's fair. I am kind of wishing they had kept all of the original dialogue and the tech from the last scene. Starting in the 40's section, the dialogue has been changed to reflect "modern sensibilities" but the wife comes off as a dismissive, negative character. The last scene is so "up to the minute" that it is the most dated part. I am old enough to remember all of the versions and changes, and I miss the wide eyed, joyful embrace of the possibilities that innovation can give. Even so, I loved this walk down memory lane, and believe there is STILL -a great big beautiful tomorrow!

[@bob1986]

There's technically 3 versions. The original World Fair/Disneyland version, the original Disney World version which redid the audio and changed the theme song to "Now is the Time" and then the 90s New Tommarowland version which redid the audio a 3rd time and changed the theme back to "Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow". Although for the most part 75 percent of the dialogue is pretty much the same in all three versions.

[@skunkman9815]

17:00 i need one of those things I’m a little bit on the chunky side

[@RennsportRacer]

I wish they would bring back the original score: “Now Is The Time.”

[@CamrynGleason]

I heard that “now is the time” was actually not the original.

[@romamessi9686]

"It's a Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow" is the original theme song. The theme song you're referring to was actually named "The Best Time of Your Life," which was the theme song from 1975 - 1981.
