Carousel of Progress 2026 Renovation News | Magic Kingdom | 8K 3D VR180

Big changes are coming to Walt Disney’s Carousel of Progress at Magic Kingdom. Disney has announced that the current version of the classic Tomorrowland attraction will have its final day of operation on July 5, 2026, before closing on July 6, 2026 for a major renovation expected to debut in 2027. The update will include a new Walt Disney Audio-Animatronics introduction, refreshed time periods, new family scenes, and a reimagined possible-future finale.

In this Disney World news update, we look at the upcoming Carousel of Progress renovation plans, including the shift from the long-running 1994 version to new scenes set around the 1960s, 1980s, New Year’s Eve 1999, and a future home beyond Earth. We also take a look back at the attraction’s history from the 1964 New York World’s Fair to Magic Kingdom, and why this update is such a major moment for fans of Walt Disney, Tomorrowland, and “There’s a Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow.”

What do you think about Carousel of Progress getting new scenes after all these years?
