Theme Park Thursdays feature photos from one of our theme park adventures in the past.
Father excited about his new dishwasher! (2009)
It's fall at Walt Disney World. Pumpkin decorations on the table. The leaves are changing. Long sleeve clothing is the norm.
Wait a minute… this is Florida?!
Actually, it's the 3rd scene from the Carousel of Progress, which is set around the time of Halloween in the 1940s. The Carousel is one of my favorite attractions, even though Disney seems intent on letting it fall into disrepair, despite its historical value harking back to Walt's involvement with the 1964 New York World's Fair. I wouldn't be surprised if they eventually replaced it with something ridiculous from Pixar or Disney Channel.
Still, it's a show that can only be experienced at the Magic Kingdom these days and I enjoy it every chance I get (such as when I took this photo during a December 2009 trip). Because, after all, "There's a Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow"!
That guy is creepy and overly tan. I also wouldn't be surprised if this is shut down soon and a princess themed gift shop/hotel/concert/restaurant is put in its place.
