When General Electric approached Walt Disney to create an imaginative, immersive attraction for the 1964 New York World’s Fair, they lit of a spark of inspiration that still burns bright to this day. Everything about his “Progressland” pavilion was revolutionary and one-of-a-kind. From the clockwise rotating theater to the advanced Audio Animatronics and the original song composed by the incomparable Sherman Brothers, it was an experience entirely unique to this venue of dreamers and innovators.

Thousands of people came, saw, and were mesmerized by Walt Disney’s “Progressland,” but even he could have had no idea at the time just how treasured and beloved his show would become in the decades that followed.

Known today as Walt Disney’s “Carousel of Progress,” this rotating spectacle of American innovation has taken up permanent residence at Walt Disney World, inside Tomorrowland at the Magic Kingdom. A tribute to Walt’s quintessential enterprise and ambition, this attraction remains a space of nostalgia, warmth, comfort and connection to the Disney that once was, and a place to remember the leaps and bounds of progress that have brought us all to where we are today.

Once a temporary draw for summertime tourists in mid-century America, this truly timeless experience is a celebration of possibility and a testament to the power of genuine curiosity. It is a tangible and observable manifestation of the ideals of the young and the young at heart, the dreamers and the doers; we who avidly seek joy in new discoveries and work toward a great, big, beautiful tomorrow.

And so we invite you to join us as we take our seats in this iconic revolving theater - the show is about to begin!
