The Walt Disney's Carousel Of Progress is a great show, that takes you through part of the 1900's. It's a cute moving show in the AC, and will keep you entertained during your Magic Kingdom day. I have been on this ride many times and I love it! Little kids may find it hard to sit still for a 20-ish minute show.

Pros:

AC! Also a classic attraction for Disney history nerds.

Cons:

needs., kids may not like it.

Just a straight up classic! A catchy song, with still great animatronics, and even a great storyline and message overall!

It doesn’t really get any more classic than Carousel of Progress. With a main character that reminds me of Walt Disney himself, and a storyline about progress and how even among the winds of change and technological progress the importance of family stays the same, it doesn’t really get much more Disney than this.

This is also a great spot to get a break from the heat in some air conditioning and seating, as there is very rarely any longer than a five minute wait.

One single gripe is that I think the seats in here could use an update. While I think that there is a part of the seating that adds to the classic nature of this, it definitely has seen its share of wear and tear and I think could be updated with new seats without really taking away from the classic nature of the attraction.

Pros:

CLASSIC Disney story and animatronics Great spot for getting a break from the heat Very rarely any significant wait

Cons:

Seating could use an update

This is a fun look into the past and how far we have come with technology. It could use a update, but it is still a nice relaxing look into the past. I also like the song, which pops in my head sometimes for no reason. Love the Sherman Brothers! It is also cool to know that Walt Disney was involved in this.

Pros:

Fun story line. Nice break from the heat.

Cons:

It needs an update for more current inventions and technology.

This is older than I am and I’m about to retire… I think that says something. I know that this appeals to people who went to Disney World when they were kids from 1971-2000. I went for the first time as an adult in 2008 and literally fell asleep in this theater. It is so, so, so boring. If you aren’t nostalgic for your childhood visits during the previous century I’d suggest skipping this attraction. On the other hand if you like watching paint dry then this is the ride for you!

Pros:

Air conditioning

Cons:

Outdated Boring Dull

I really enjoyed this. You go through “scenes” of different eras to show technology advances. Typically little to no wait. I ended up seeing the first vignette 6 times, anytime someone leaves attraction early it resets.

Pros:

Holds up well, made me smile; relaxing and enjoyable

Cons:

If people leave the ride early, the scene you are in resets.

What can I say...

This is a must! It's nostalgic. You get to sit down. In air conditioning. Will that turkey get burned again? Ride and find out.

You get to sing that song.

You're singing it now aren't you... 🙂

Pros:

Sit down attraction that lets you enjoy classic Disney awesomeness. In air conditioning. You get to sing that song. Don't @ me. That is definitely a pro.

Cons:

Okay...I can admit it probably is not the ride for everyone. Some might not like it as it is a bit dated. It could stand a refresh to make it a bit current for the last scene.

Is it the most exciting attraction at a Disney Park? No. Is it a classic and beloved attraction? Yes. It is quintessential Disney in every way. Animatronics, progress, Americana, lumbagos... you name it. I remember riding this as a child and the warmth and wonderment has never faded for me. It is a must-do on every visit I make to Magic Kingdom.

Pros:

Classic Disney; indoors, air conditioned, and seated.

Cons:

The seats have seen better days.
