    ... I love that being able to watch this on UA-cam, from the comfort of your own home, is the logical extension of the show's own message.
    "This is what they call progress, dear."
    I seriously hope they don't close it. It's my second-favorite attraction at Disney World, after the Haunted Mansion.

      +zazelby :) I agree. Walt would have loved the Internet. And he would have also loved robotics! Did you know that there are a ton of humanoid robots out there on the market today? I have many favorites but my three top ones to own are ASIMO, NAO and Pepper.

      zazelby this probably won't close anytime soon, this was very important to Walt, his family members said it was his favorite attraction and that it shouldn't close

    I had seen this as a kid in 1968 at Disneyland and loved it. It was like watching a movie of your past and future.
    Fast forward to late September 2001 when I took my daughter to WDW. We had the trip planned before the 9-11 attack, a lot of people were afraid to travel. I didn't want the terrorists to "win" so we went anyway. I had shielded her from the tragedy, but it still weighed heavily on my heart. When they broke into the song, "there's a great big beautiful tomorrow", it took everything I had not to break into tears thinking about the future my daughter would live in. But you know, it's still true. There is a great big beautiful tomorrow. It's up to us to make it happen.

    I love this show. Normally, I don't care to even think much about technology, but when I watch this... I can't help but sit there and think about all the amazing art and design work that went into this from the "architecture" of the animatronic skeletons underneath to the beautifully done voice acting and movement combined with the uses of color. I hope attractions like this- attractions from the true heart and imagination of the great man known as Walter Elias Disney- never leave us. It would be a sad, sad day if Disney ever eliminated it's roots.

    When I was in third grade, during the mid-1980s, the final scene of the Carousel was so modern and cutting edge. Now it's amusingly decades out of date. But I suppose as a vintage attraction little could be done to update the contents.

    And tomorrow's just a dream away
    Man has a dream and that's the start
    He follows his dream with mind and heart
    And when it becomes a reality
    It's a dream come true for you and me
    So there's a great big beautiful tomorrow
    Shining at the end of every day
    There's a great big beautiful tomorrow
    Just a dream away

      Tomorrow is still but a dream
      Right here and now you've got it made
      The world's forward marching and you're in the parade
      Now is the time now is the best time
      Be it a time of joy or strife
      There's so much to cheer for
      Be glad you're here
      For it's the best time of your life

    @misslora3896 3 місяці тому +1

    I was fortunate enough to get to see this the last yr it was still at Disneyland back in 1973. I was only 4 yrs old and it was the primary memory (along with the "City of the Future" model), that I always had of that visit. It was replaced by "America Sings" the following yr in the lead up to Americas bicentennial celebration in 1976. I sincerely believed I'd never get see it again, but in 1996 my family got stationed in the Tampa FL area for 2 yrs. I was fortunate enough to get to take my young daughters to Disneyworld and they got to see it with me. I later went again with just my husband. It was his 1st time seeing it despite also growing up in Southern California when it was still at Disneyland. I was so happy and grateful to get to experience such a stand out memory from my early childhood again 22 yrs later. And now I have the pleasure of getting to see it on UA-cam. Not the same as live, but very nastalgic nonetheless.

    The best video of this attraction I've seen that was not produced by Disney. The only problem with the attraction is that the final scene is getting really dated (again). In the original each scene moved ahead about 20 years. Now there is about 50 years between the Halloween and Christmas scene. I really wish they could add some scenes to encompass the 60's/70's and the 80's/90's as well as into today. I just don't know how they can without major changes that could ruin this classic attraction.

    • @LillyoftheAllie
      @LillyoftheAllie 10 років тому +5

      I agree and disagree with you. I agree that they should add something from the 60's/70's and 80's/90's, but they do not have the room for that on the ride. Honestly, the 50 year difference doesn't bother me! I think that it was almost like 1990 or 2000 that they tried to do, because they mention car phones lol! :)

    • @keithdean9149
      @keithdean9149 10 років тому

      I think the last time the final scene was updated was back in the early to mid 90's, as I said it's really getting dated. The first time I rode this attraction was in the early 80's when "Now is the Time" had replaced "Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow" as the them song. Then the jump ahead wasn't so bad but it is really noticeable today.I also wish they could update "The American Adventure" to encompass more of the history post-WWII. That might be more doable.

I know it was shut down due to fatalities - but to have this kind of genre for future generations would be a lesson that children might listen to. I know I did. It is something iconic and in the voice of giving back from the past would welcome a breath of fresh air. A punch from the past is what this era needs! Violence these days is horrible-I would welcome uplifting jest from those of Disney to give an extra boost of hope and tranquility.
