Carousel of Progress
Carousel of Progress, one of Magic Kingdom’s oldest attractions, features a 21-minute-long show that takes guests through generations of technological progress.
For many guests, Carousel of Progress is filled with charm and nostalgia, while others love using it for a quick refresh on a hot day. But regardless of how you feel, Disney just updated the seating!
New Seating in Carousel of Progress
The seating in theater three has been refurbished with a new, retro vibe!
