Disney Parkitecture

Disney

The latest episode of We Call It Imagineering focuses on how Imagineers create the architecture of the Disney Parks. From 3-D models to giant balloons to virtual reality, Imagineers use many different methods to create immersive spaces. This episode also gives us a sneak peek behind the scenes of three new lands coming to Disney World: Tropical Americas in Animal Kingdom, Piston Peak National Park in Magic Kingdom, and Monstropolis in Hollywood Studios. 

Beware Of Hitchhiking Ghosts!

It was so fun to see the Hitchhiking Ghosts from the Haunted Mansion during Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party in 2024. They could be found in Frontierland "practicing their terror with ghoulish delight"!

Pain & Panic At MNSSHP

So many unexpected characters appear in the Boo To You Parade at Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party. In 2024, Pain and Panic from Disney's Hercules were on a float with a skeleton band.

There's A Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow Coming To The Carousel Of Progress

All images: Disney

The Carousel of Progress is one of the classic shows at Disney World. The attraction made its debut at the 1964-65 New York World's Fair. It was a passion project of Walt Disney's that included a rotating theater and a song written by the Sherman brothers. The show included four scenes: the early 1900s, the 1920s, 1940s, and a futuristic finale. 

It arrived in the Magic Kingdom in 1975, where it included a different song, "The Best Time Of Your Life". Over the years, the scenes have been updated and altered, especially the final scene which is a vision of the future. The last major update was in 1994, when the original song was restored, so Imagineers have decided it's time for a major refresh. But don't worry: John, Sarah, and the rest of the family won't be going anywhere, just experiencing a new timeline.

The show will close on July 6th and reopen sometime in 2027. An entirely new opening scene will be added, based on the 1964 TV special "Disneyland Goes to the World's Fair". It will include an Audio-Animatronic of Walt Disney himself. Imagineers have been recreating the room, filling it with props like a prototype Tiki Room bird and a doll from it's a small world.

Imagineers also plan to change the other scenes to reflect newer decades that guests may remember. 

• Act 1 1969 - The family is gathered around the TV to watch the moon landing.
• Act 2 1985 - It's Halloween and Sarah gets the chance to show off the new gadgets that make life easier while John hands out candy. Uncle Orville is still in the bathroom with "no privacy around here!"
• Act 3 1999 - The family is preparing for the new millennium on New Year's Eve and exploring that exciting new thing called the internet. Grandpa is already asleep and Grandma is watching wrestling. 
• Act 4 The Future - As always, this scene explores what the future may look like, with a robotic assistant and inspiration from the original sketches for the show.

It's going to be a long wait to experience this new version of the Carousel of Progress, but it sounds quite exciting. What new scene are you looking forward to most?

The Birdmobile of the Enchanted Tiki Room

The birds of Disney's Enchanted Tiki Room in the Magic Kingdom are quite an exotic bunch. The showgirls on the Birdmobile are white cockatoos named Collette, Suzette, Mimi, Gigi, Fifi, and Josephine. Together with the other performers, they sing "Let's All Sing Like The Birdies Sing."

It's The Wildest Ride In The Wilderness

Disney

Join Imagineers for a trip through the newly refreshed Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. Imagineers added new lighting and audio, refurbished over 20 figures in the town of Tumbleweed, and added new track and passenger trains for a smoother ride. Are you ready for the "Wildest Ride in the Wilderness"?

Big Thunder Mountain Railroad is now open in the Magic Kingdom at Disney World.
