Walt Disney's Carousel of Progress

A must see original Disney ride. Need to see these rides before they are all gone. An interesting look back at life I the last century. Easy access and comfortable wide seating. #ada #access #history #Disney #century #ride #tomorrowland #progress

Another magic kingdom hidden gem. Not just great AC, but a fun “ride” that takes you around in a rotating theater, bringing you through different time periods and cool animatronics. Some may say it is boring but I enjoy this every time I ride. A must-do for a first visit, at least. Located in the amazing Tomorrowland!

Have always heard about the ride but never did it until this trip. Glad I did! Very cool to see Walt Disney's motion of positivity in progress. Animatronic updates are awesome!

Completely charming and heartwarming. Please visit this important piece of Disney history if you haven’t before! Pro tip: front and center seats afford you the best possible view of the details in this little world of innovation and progress. It’s like looking right into the imagination of Walt Disney himself. There’s a great big beautiful tomorrow!

One of the oldest attractions at Disney World. This is a 20 minute show that has a moving theater, which takes you through technology and culture to throughout the 20th Century. The show stops at six ‘stages’ which all represent a specific time period. The overall song and message is positive. However, it’s not the most exciting either. This show is known to have a lot of breakdowns and is a bit dated. However, you’ll still have fun riding. Overall, would recommend if you want a break from the heat.

The Carousel of Progress is a must-do for any Disney World visitor. Its nostalgic charm and timeless message never fail to captivate. The rotating theater, complete with animatronics and catchy tunes, transports you through the evolution of American family life. I was pleasantly surprised to find that my lumbago didn't bother me at all during the ride. The gentle, rotating motion was surprisingly comfortable. Plus, it was a welcome break from the hustle and bustle of the park. If you're looking for a relaxing and heartwarming experience, the Carousel of Progress is a perfect choice.

Hands down one of our family’s favorite attractions at The Magic Kingdom! Not only has this ride been riding consistently for many years, but a brilliant design! The concept of the carousel being different time periods and the audience rotating turns this attraction into a ride/ theater experience! Lots of animatronics to tell the story of progress through the different years and seasons. A nice break from your feet and is air conditioned. Holds a good amount so not a lot of wait time. A great time!
