Walt Disney’s beloved Carousel of Progress attraction at Magic Kingdom will close on July 6, 2026, to make way for a substantially updated version set to debut in 2027. The refreshed show will introduce new decades, a new timeline, and even a new Audio-Animatronics figure of Walt Disney himself. For generations of Disney fans, the attraction wasn’t simply about technological advancement but was one of the few remaining attractions shaped directly by Walt Disney himself. When the updated version opens, that connection to Walt’s own lifetime will largely disappear, replaced by a new story designed for modern audiences. The last day to experience the current version will be July 5, 2026. While changes may give the aging attraction a new lease on life, they mark the end of something far more significant in Disney history.
