Exclusive lounges have been a part of Disney theme parks for a LONG time. After seeing the success of corporate VIP lounges at the 1964 World’s Fair, Walt Disney was inspired to create the iconic Club 33 at Disneyland. Over a decade later, EPCOT Center was home to many corporate lounges, as companies like Kodak (Journey into Imagination) and General Electric (Horizons) installed lounges for employees and other guests hidden away in their respective pavilions. While most of these lounges have been lost to time and change, there’s one that’s still going strong.
General Motors Lounge — look at that view!
General Motors is one of the few companies to have a sponsorship presence at EPCOT from the start. From opening day through 1996, the company sponsored World of Motion and has sponsored its replacement (sometimes using Chevrolet branding), Test Track, since the original version opened in 1999. Given that long-running relationship, it likely shouldn’t be a surprise that they maintain a lounge in the Test Track building.

The Fourth of July might have been yesterday, but there is still lots of Patriotic fun happening around the Disney World parks today.
Mickey and Pals on the 4th of July

HUGE changes are coming to the Carousel of Progress at Magic Kingdom, and we’re here on the last day of the current iteration of the ride as we know it.
Carousel of Progress
We already knew that a Walt Disney Animatronic would be coming to the ride, but Disney shared that even more updates are on the way for this iconic attraction. Each scene will be completely overhauled to feature new decades — and we’ll even get a glimpse into the future! The ride is set to close on July 6th so Disney can make way for these changes, and we’re celebrating the last day of the original Carousel of Progress.
A major change is coming to one of Disney World’s oldest attractions TOMORROW.
Carousel of Progress
Walt Diseny’s Carousel of Progress – – which has been operating in one form or another since its debut at the 1964 New York World’s Fair, meaning it actually predates Disney World by over a decade – – is set to close for a major refurbishment that will shift nearly everything about the 60+ year old attraction.
It’s been a BIG year for Magic Kingdom. Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin and Big Thunder Mountain Railroad reopened as new and improved versions of themselves. Cinderella Castle got repainted. Now another big change is coming to the park!
It’s Carousel of Progress’ final day before refurbishment!
The Carousel of Progress is getting a massive makeover, which means we need to say goodbye to the version we know and love. We’re here on the last day of operation for the current Carousel of Progress, and we’re not the only ones who came out to say farewell.
Things are ALWAYS changing in Disney World! Lately, it feels like the parks are entirely new places thanks to updates like Villains Land, Piston Peak, Monsters Inc. Land, and other major changes.
