What can be better than a lovely journey through time with a jovial soundtrack, air conditioned comfortable theater, and some super fun animatronics and old-school theater "magic"?

Pros:

Great long break in a comfortable, air conditioned seat! Engaging music and show with nostalgic and impressive animatronics. Great for all ages.

Cons:

Not exactly thrilling.

This show is a true Disney classic in every way! Worked on by Walt himself, this could also be considered a ride since the theater rotates around the stage. Sure, the music has changed over the years, but nothing screams "Disney" to me as much as this attraction does. It's not a must-do for me every time I'm in the Magic Kingdom, but if you've never experienced it, you're missing out on some very special Disney history! One of my favorite things about the Carousel of Progress are the nostalgic feelings it stirs up, reminding me of watching it with my parents on some of my first trips to the Park.

Pros:

Classic Disney attraction worked on by Walt Disney himself, 21 minutes of A/C, usually has a short wait, longest-running stage show in American theater history!

Cons:

You're trapped! If you try to leave the theater before the show ends, it halts the show for everyone.

One of my favorite classic attractions. Did you even go to Walter Disney World if you didn't go on this at least once during your stay? It can use some refurbishing and cleaning up the audio would help.

Pros:

Classic Walter Disney, a great way to beat the heat with some A/C

Cons:

A little dated, but then again what in Tomorrowland isn't.

This is a classic. It is a must do for any true Disney fan! Yes it is cheesy yes it is 100% dated BUT it is such a great story line, the music is wonderful (and just as a warning super catchy you will hum it for the rest of the day) and there is cushy seating and A/C!

Pros:

Great story A/C cushy seats

Cons:

The song will be stuck in your head all day.

I love this attraction! I feel like it’s very underrated and deserves more love. It’s a classic, it’s air conditioned, and the rotating theater is always a fun experience. It can definitely use some updating especially in the last scene but I think it’s outdated elements also add some charm to the attraction!

Pros:

Relaxing, nice break from heat, entertaining show

Cons:

Some scenes need updating

Amazing, underrated classic that deserves better. It's a ride designed by Walt Disney himself and it has stayed that way as it should. I feel as though the word "dated" makes it seem boring and in need of an update, but this ride does not need to be updated. It is better to keep this fabulous piece of Disney history as close to Walt's vision as possible.

Pros:

Catchy song, Air conditioning, historical significance

Cons:

people sometimes walk out during the show and the experience can be a little messed up because of that
