Carousel of Progress Gets New Walt Disney Audio-Animatronic

The Carousel of Progress at Magic Kingdom received a new Walt Disney Audio-Animatronic figure in its pre-show area. The addition pays tribute to the park's founder and the man who originally conceived the attraction for the 1964 World's Fair.

The new figure is part of ongoing investments to refresh legacy attractions throughout Magic Kingdom while preserving their historical significance. The Carousel of Progress holds a special place in Disney history as one of the oldest continually operating attractions.

Fans have praised the addition as a fitting homage that enhances the attraction's storytelling without altering the beloved main show scenes that guests have enjoyed for decades.
