During a panel, Disney made the announcement that changes are coming to a fan-favorite attraction in Magic Kingdom. After three decades, Carousel of Progress is getting an update!

Coming soon, Carousel of Progress in Magic Kingdom will be updated with an animatronic figure of Walt Disney himself! The ride, which is named after the Disney company founder, will have a new opening scene.

“We are grateful to The Walt Disney Company and Walt Disney Imagineering for their continued collaboration and ongoing partnership with The Walt Disney Family Museum. The introduction of a new Audio-Animatronics figure of Walt Disney in ‘Walt Disney’s Carousel of Progress’ marks an exciting milestone in our shared mission to celebrate the story of the man behind the magic and inspire new generations with his innovations and vision for the future. We appreciate the continued efforts and meticulous care that Imagineering has taken to keep Walt’s legacy alive,” Kirsten Komoroske, Executive Director of the Walt Disney Family Museum, said.

We recently saw the first-ever Walt Disney animatronic added to Disneyland Park for the new show, Walt Disney — A Magical Life. Now, Disney World can boast its own figure of Walt!
