SNEAK PEEK at Carousel of Progress Changes in Disney World

You didn’t forget about these attraction changes coming to Magic Kingdom, did you?

Carousel of Progress

The Carousel of Progress at Disney World is getting an update, including an introductory scene featuring Walt Disney himself. Disney has finally released new details about the ride that will include the 1960s, 1980s, the new millennium, and a possible future. They also released a new poster for the ride, and we can’t wait to see it for ourselves.

Let’s take a look at the new poster!

We think it perfectly encapsulates the changes coming to the attraction. New decades, including the 1960s, are being added, so the poster needed a refresh to showcase the progress (haha, get it?).

On top, it says “from the good old days…to the possible future.” It also shows John, Sarah, and Rover. The whole poster has great Tomorrowland vibes, and it’s going to fit right in.

The ride will close on July 6th, 2026, and reopen sometime in 2027, so make sure you get your last rides in with the current version before it goes away. While the changes include the representation of new decades, they stay true to the original story and the ride’s original idea.

There’s a great big beautiful tomorrow coming to Magic Kingdom (and don’t worry, the original Sherman Brothers’ song will be staying), and we’re so excited to see what’s happening. From new scenes like the moon landing to iconic moments like Uncle Orville in the bathroom, it seems to be a great combination of original and new.

If you love the Carousel of Progress as much as we do, you can grab our Carousel of Progress shirt for when the ride reopens.
