A big change has hit Magic Kingdom, and we don’t know what to think about it.


Walt Disney’s Carousel of Progress


One of our favorite attractions, and favorite ways to beat the heat in Tomorrowland, is going under a long refurbishment and refresh, and we don’t know what to do with ourselves!

The Carousel of Progress is officially closed at Disney World. Disney hasn’t announced an official reopening date but has said to expect a reopening in 2027, so we have a while before we can visit with our favorite family of the past decades.

We visited the Carousel of Progress this morning and noticed that construction walls had already gone up around the entrance.


Construction walls have gone up


We imagine that we’ll be seeing these construction walls for a while now.


Yep, it’s closed


What’s coming to the attraction? Well, MAJOR changes! All four decade scenes will be changed, and a new opening scene with Disney World’s first Walt Disney animatronic will be added. We’re happy to say that “There’s a Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow” will be sticking around!

Act 1 will be the 1960s, and we will open with the historic moon landing. The family will be gathered around the television to witness one of humanity’s greatest achievements. Act 2 will take us to the 1980s, where everything is bigger and better. It will be Halloween Night of 1985, and Sarah will be taking center stage, talking about her new appliances and gadgets. Don’t worry, Uncle Orville will still be covered regarding the lack of privacy.

Moving on, Act 3 will be the New Millennium with New Year’s Eve 1999. Not everyone might make it to midnight, but the whole family is here to celebrate. The final fourth act will push towards the possible future where a helpful robot might assist with everyday tasks, to even space travel, since a beautiful tomorrow is just a dream away.


What will the future bring?
