Carousel of Progress - Attraction Overview



Disney World if full of amazing things to see, do, and of course eat. Today though, we’re going to talk about one of my absolute favorite attractions, Walt Disney’s Carousel of Progress.

The Carousel of Progress can be found directly across from Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin in Tomorrowland. The first time we entered this attraction we had no idea what was in store for us, but now it is a must do every trip.

Once you enter and find a seat, sit back, relax, enjoy some air conditioning and journey through the 20th Century. This attraction, which was designed by Walt Disney himself for the 1964-65 World’s Fair, transports you through four different decades of the 20th Century.

The entire theater consists of five rooms, including the one in which you start, and the seating area moves through the circular building. No need to worry about moving at all, so enjoy the show and the shade during your 21 minute journey.

Throughout the show learn about the advances in technology that were made and were supposed to be made in the future. My favorite part of the entire attraction is the song that the main character sings as you move from room to room. “There’s a great big beautiful tomorrow…”

If you’re like us and enjoy finding Hidden Mickeys and other “Easter eggs” you’ll enjoy Carousel of Progress just for them. There are at least 6 Hidden Mickeys, a cat in all four rooms, and there is also a very famous hat.

You can enjoy Walt Disney’s Carousel of Progress any time of day, there is almost never a wait since the show is constantly going.

We Used Genie+ for the First Time. What did we Think?!

Back in June my sister, Sharon, and I took a girls trip to Disney World! It was a fun trip, and for the first time since it came out, we used Genie+. Today, we're going to share our thoughts about the experience.  What is Genie+?!  Genie+ is the paid for "skip the standyby line" option that replaced Fastpass+. It debuted on October 1, 2021 on the first day of the 50th Anniversary Celebration. This is what the Walt Disney World website says about the service, " Use the Lightning Lane entrances offered through Disney Genie+ service and save time waiting in line. On average, Guests can enter 2 to 3 attractions or experiences per day using Lightning Lane entrances, if the first selection is made early in the day." There is also a second option, Individual Attraction Selection. The Disney World site says, " You may also purchase individual—or à la carte—Lightning Lane entry selections for specific attractions that aren’t offered through Disney Genie+ service. Pu

Dinner at Royal Court on the Disney Fantasy

We’ve mentioned more than a few times that each of the four Disney ships has three main dining rooms. All four ships have the fun Animator’s Palate that we talked about a couple of weeks ago, as well as a themed dining rooms on the Magic and Wonder (Rapunzel’s and Tiana’s) and Enchanted Garden on the Dream and Fantasy. We’ll talk about Enchanted Garden in our next Disney Cruise Line focused post! This week, though, we’re excited to talk about the third main dining room on the Disney Fantasy, Royal Court. Royal Court, like Royal Palace on the Dream, Triton’s on the Wonder, and Lumiere’s on the Magic is the most upscale of the three main dining rooms. Located right off the main lobby Royal Court is a grand dining room that celebrates Disney’s royal couples. Throughout the dining room there are mosaics of Disney Princess and their princes including Belle and Beast,  Jasmine and Aladdin, Tiana and Naveen, Cinderella and Prince Charming, Aurora and Phillip, Ariel and Eric, and Snow Wh
