What we're gonna do right here is go back.

0:03.6

Way back, back into time.

0:07.8

Hello my friend and welcome to another episode from the WWW Archives.

0:12.8

I am your host, Lume Angelo and this is show number 710.

0:16.8

I'm gonna open up the archives once again this week.

0:19.6

This time going back to October 2011 and show number 244.

0:25.1

When we look at Walt Disney's counter sale of progress, it's history, legacy, details, and future.

0:32.0

And I recorded this in honor of Walt Disney World's 40th anniversary and I wanted to look at an attraction that was not open on Walt Disney World's opening day in 1971.

0:44.0

But was so and remains so deeply rooted in Walt Disney World history and sentence of nostalgia.

0:51.8

And more importantly, it's direct connection to Walt Disney.

0:55.8

So I went to Tomorrowland right outside of Walt Disney's carousel progress and met with my longtime friend, author, raccontour historian Jim Corcus,

1:06.4

to do a segment that I sort of called a part way back machine, part DSI, Disney scene investigation,

1:13.7

but really take a deep dive at not just the history but the stories and the people behind this attraction

1:20.4

and also leave you with some questions that I think still to this day might be a little thought provoking and ones that hopefully you have an opinion that you can share on over in the WDW Clubhouse at www.wreddo.com slash clubhouse.

1:35.2

You can also answer the question. Let me know what you think you had this or any episode by calling the voicemail at 407-9939-1 that's 407-900-WDW-1.

1:44.9

And if you want even more carousel of progress back on show 136, I did a very sort of different look at the carousel of progress.

1:54.5

We sort of called it a DSI Disney scene investigation but came at it from some different angles with a different guest who was joining me as well.

2:03.2

So if you're a carousel of progress fan or just want to learn some more again you could also go back to show number 136.

2:09.2

2:23.7

And of course you can find everything at www.wreddo.com so sit back, relax, and come with me to Tomorrowland and Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom for a look and listen at Walt Disney's Carousel of Progress.

2:39.6

With October 1st 2011 marking the 40th anniversary of Walt Disney World, many of us are getting a bit nostalgic and on the show one thing that I want to do is sort of look back at some of those opening day attractions that we've had a chance to explore and examine in depth over the last couple of weeks and months.

3:06.1

And moving forward there's one more that we wanted to hit that really isn't an opening day attraction at all. In fact it took a number of years before it came to Walt Disney World but because it's classic, because it's iconic, because of its relationship to Walt I thought it was appropriate that we talk about it when we talk about the history of Walt Disney World.
