Description: Trace 100 years of Progress for People as an
"Audio- Animatronics" family demonstrates the many
conveniences made possible in American life by a century of innovations
in electricity.
One of the most popular attractions in Tomorrowland since 1974, Carousel of Progress has a new look -- both inside and out.
The musical comedy show has been seen by more guests than any other theatrical presentation in the history of American Theater since its debut at the 1964 World’s Fair.
The show traces the impact of technological progress on Americans’ daily living from the start of the 20th century into the near future with a cast of family characters brought to life through Disney’s Audio-Animatronics effects.
Through an added pre-show, guests discover more about the original Carousel show designed by Walt Disney, and hear the return of the original theme song, "There’s a Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow." With an updated script and new cast of voices, guests get a glimpse of innovations like virtual-reality, voice-activation and high-definition television.
