    History

    Walt Disney's Carousel of Progress was designed by Walt Disney and Walt Disney Imagineering for the World's Fair in New York in 1964. The ride was later transported to Disneyland, where it operated (simply as 'Carousel of Progress') from 1967 to 1973. In 1973 it was moved to the Magic Kingdom, where it opened in 1975 and has been operating up to today.

    The ride has been updated several times in order to keep it up with the times.
