  • The original ending to the Carousel of Progress as it was at Disneyland from 1967-1973. It was nearly identical to the 1964-1965 World's Fair ending. Special thanks to Davelandweb, Yesterland, and DisneyPix for providing vintage photographs of the attraction.

    This is the version I saw when I was a very young child. I just loved this and I'm so glad to experience this nostalgia! I wish they had kept this last scene and then created another whole new stage to continue each new future.

    I keep seeing these comments on how Walt would be upset with the fact that the current Carousel of Progress has a different scene and it wasn't kept to the original... Do... do you guys not understand the entire point of this attraction? Walt was always about CHANGE and PROGRESS. He wouldn't have wanted things to always stay the same, it certainly wouldn't be progressive if the land of "today" was still set in the 60's...

      To be honest, it's been so long... it actually needs an act inbetween the 40s and modern day. A 60s/70s scene would fit in again just perfectly.

    It's crazy how much more inspiring the ambient music, even the voices are. 1993 is 2nd best with GBBT returned, but every second of this oozes Disney magic. The dialogue is snappy as ever in WDW, but man could they have kept a little of this cheery orchestra music?
    Seriously Disney, just remaster the 1967 audio and stick it back it. People watch CoP and ETR for the 1960s optimism anyways, not for their face value. They're vintage and this recording is the best put together.

    Yeah, it's unfortunate that they didn't do it. In a Disney special I watched a few people who worked on the EPCOT project stated that they'd (not them, the company) decided they'd rather be in the business to "making money" than constructing/maintaining a city. I just wish they they followed through to Disney's dream as a tribute to him since he died. He didn't even get to see Magic Kingdom finished!

    I recall the future/christmas scene having a metal christmas tree. I think it was in a spiral. There was some comment about the tree, the dog barks, and then dad says there will still be trees for you, sport (or something similar). I thought it was funny because it was a pee joke at Disneyland. Unfortunately, I have not been able to find any evidence of this metal christmas tree or related audio. Anyone know where there might be video, photo, or audio of that version? Or what years it was there?

    This ending could work today, but with newer appliances. The mood lighting is still prevalent as well, and so is senior living. Plus mother's involvement in the community makes more sense and is still very much a thing. They are not talking about a burned meal or zoning out to virtual reality that could fry your eyeballs. It could still work, plus I think it would age well with it's contemporary look.

    This has the wrong audio for the first "Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow". It should have been the 1940s version leading into the last scene, and then the version used here at the end instead. Randy Thornton of Walt Disney Records got them all in the wrong order!

    There's a sound recording of the original 1975 "Best Time of Your Life" version of the Carousel of Progress after it moved to Disney World in Florida with the 1975 Act 4 at omniluxe.net . Daveland has the photos of the 1975 family from the last act (gotta love the son's plaid pants and jacket). You could do a video of the 1975 act 4 by splicing togeter the sound recording and the still photos of the family.

      It's the Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow, aka EPCOT. The family's living in one of Monsanto's wonderful plastic homes of tomorrow, and the big skyscraper you can see over the climate-controlled indoor shopping district is the transportation hub of EPCOT, with monorail lines to the industrial park further south and PeopleMover lines through the recreational greenbelt out to the residential districts where the family is living. All electric, of course, with all the cars and trucks coming in through underground tunnel systems so there's never any traffic or air pollution in the Community of Tomorrow. Mother talks about the new jet terminal, which is just a short monorail ride away down south at the Airport of Tomorrow, where you can fly to just about anywhere in the whole wide world in just hours. Yes, life here in Tomorrow is just fabulous, and best of all, the entire community is sponsored by the Walt Disney corporation and some of the finest leaders in industry in America, including General Electric.

The Only Darkside of The BBTF2 Concept of the Future they Abolished all the Lawyers, & the Court System is Run by AI Computers, and You go to Jail for a Long time without Parole For Example Marty Jr. gets Sentence to 20 years in Prison, a Year Later His Sister tries to Break him out, & She Gets Sentence to 30 years !
