Carousel of Progress

[FunkDoC]

Hello! I have been reading this board for a long time, but this is my first post. My question is about Carousel of Progress. Me, my wife and my two girls (ages 2 and 6) are going to Disneyworld in about 2 weeks. I am really hoping this attraction is open.

I have seen that Carousel of Progress is now a seasonal ride, but have not found anywhere that details what is considered the operating season for CoP.

Does anyone have any details on this? We will be there 05/19.

Thanks!

DoC

FunkDoC,

Welcome to the boards as an "official" member. I am leaving two weeks from tomorrow and am told that Carousel of Progress is open now and will continue to remain open since they have closed Alien Encounter. I am excited about this because I really like this ride.

Have a great trip.

It is rumored that CoP will remain open (though possibly close earlier in the day) during the Stitch's Adventure/Alien Encounter/Mission to Mars makeover.

Thanks for the info! I love this ride and am really glad it's going to be open. My oldest is 6 (will be seven on Saturday!) and she had just turned four when we went last time. I think she would get more out of this show this time around. Now my two year old is a different story...I can only hope that she remains somewhat sane while we are there. The two are complete opposites!

CoP was open when we were there in November. May is more "seasonal" than November, so I am guessing it will definitely be open. Enjoy!


It's a great big, beautiful tomorrow......

I am not sure when it was -- but on a recent trek into MK, TimeKeeper was open! I about fell over. I went to see that, and have seen CoP a few times, just because you never know which time will be the last.

We were there in November, on a weekday, and CoP and Timekeeper were both open. Supposedly they will remain open while Stich! is under construction. I really hope they keep it open after. It is one of my favorites as well and I think closing it permanently would be a huge travesty. It was Walt's favorite!
