In addition to the new narration on the Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover, another classic Tomorrowland attraction has received an update today, that being Walt Disney’s Carousel of Progress.
What’s Happening:
- The final scene of Walt Disney’s Carousel of Progress, which sees the family looking towards a semi-realistic 1990s version of the future has been slightly updated, giving the family new clothing.
- This scene in particular has long been rumored to get some sort of update, as it is currently somewhat outdated. The new clothing seems to be a small step towards modernizing the attraction.
- Grandfather sports a new hairstyle and a black cardigan.
- Patricia, the daughter of the family, is now wearing a Progress Tech hoodie. The “School of Urban Planning” is a call-back to Progress City, Walt Disney’s original concept for EPCOT. She also gets a new hairstyle.
- Both children of the Progress family are wearing fun slippers featuring the original reindeer characters that were used for many years in Christmas parades at Walt Disney World and Disneyland.
- Jimmy, the son, is wearing a pullover that features a logo reminiscent of one created for Walt Disney’s planned Mineral King ski lodge resort.
- The patriarch of the family, John, is sporting new, darker hair, a red ugly Christmas sweater, and an apron that says “My Food Rocks!” That is likely a reference to Food Rocks, an extinct EPCOT show all about good nutrition.
- Mother Sarah leaves behind her very ‘90s fashions for a new cardigan, scarf, hairstyle, and modern jeans.
- Grandma sports a new sweater dress and cardigan with a more modern hairstyle.
- Not to be left out, the family’s dog Rover has a new bow.
- Check out the new outfits in action in our video of the last scene of Walt Disney’s Carousel of Progress:
