    Walt had a dream, and that's the start. He followed his dream, with mind and heart.
    I love the Carousel of Progress.

    Love seeing Walt explain the Carousel of Progress. It still amazes me that they did this back in the 60's and can only imagine how people reacted then!

    Carousel of Progress remains one of my all time favorite attractions...the animatronics, the humor and the catchy theme song! And the fact that this was created by Walt himself, give this attraction that warm and fuzzy feeling one can only get from Disney.

      I look forward to it every time. it's so under appreciated but it's honestly one of the best things at any theme park period.

    Why don't people explain how their creations work anymore?! Ever since I was 4, I have always loved how things worked, when I went to a movie theatre I was more interested in how the projector worked than what the movie even was.

    This ride has Walt's personal touch on it....
    ...and the last time I was on it in August 2008, I was already singing along with it before we even got to act 1! :D

    Walt was so ahead of his time! Can't imagine what he'd think of all the progress Disney has made technology-wise the past decades. The animatronic in this video looks better than some I've seen in modern theme parks. Disney is the number 1 of audio-animatronics in the world today, and it seems like they already were back in the 60's!

    The real magic is always taking care of your guest. I v been to them parks where the only thing you get is a finger to the exit. To disney kindness is its legacy its what set's disney apart if they had three rides and that was it, people would come back just to be treated like they existed for the day.

    This ride and attraction never gets old can probably go to it every day and probably never get tired of it it’s so cheery and makes you think of what we can set out and achieve thanks Walt for creating this masterpiece and may your spirit of showing the American family throughout the century go about and carry the same feel as you intended warm and showing our possibilities

  • @dianawackrow3777

    I absolutely love the "Carousel Of Progess"!🎡🎠🎢🎪🎭🪄 We always make a point of having it be the first ride we go on every time we're in the park. It's fantastic! I wish more rides were similar in theme/nature. It's sad to see the older ways of doing things along with old school designs & animatronics becoming obsolete and ultimately replaced. They just don't make em like they used too. *sigh* 😔

    What a shame that the Disney company neglect this ride these days, it breaks down so often and The animatronics look like they haven’t been taken care of in YEARS. Walt Disney loved this ride, it breaks my heart that nowadays it’s been neglected.

    My mother saw the Carousel of Progress at the 1964 Workd's Fair in New York. Every time we visit WDW, we MUST see this ride, because hmit holds such a special place in her, and our whole family's, hearts.

  • @reporterpeytonlewis1256
    @reporterpeytonlewis1256 Před 6 lety +2

    I just figured out that this was most likely edited from the original. The song from carousel of progress used to be "The Best Time of Your Life" and this one shows Disney asking them to play "A Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow" which was not added to the ride until 1993. Anyway, this is still as sweet video, I love hearing Mr. Disney talk about his ideas and passions. He was such an inspiration.
