If there is a closer connection to Walt Disney in a Walt Disney World Attraction, I sure can’t think of it.   Not only does the Carousel of Progress bear his name, but it’s also the only attraction in Florida with Walt in the preshow.  I included the famous clip from Disneyland Goes to the World’s Fair as the introduction.  Then it’s a first-person trip on the rotating theater and audio-animatronic stage show attraction, as it appears in 2019 at Walt Disney World in Florida.   The original attraction was created for the 1964 New York World’s Fair.  After the World’s Fair, the attraction was relocated to Disneyland, and in 1973 it was relocated to Walt Disney World as part of the Tomorrowland expansion, which included the addition of Space Mountain in 1975.
