Carousel of Progress
 
 

Former Walt Disney World cast member Brent Levy was kind enough to pass on this terrific detail from Walt Disney's Carousel of Progress. What's so special in this scene from the show's final Christmas-themed vignette?

 

Let's take a closer look:
A note tacked to the nearby bulletin board reads "MARTY CALLED--WANTS CHANGES!"

The reference is quite obvious to Disney Legend and longtime Imagineer Marty Sklar, who's had a creative hand in every incarnation of the attraction since its debut at the 1964-65 New York Worlds Fair.

The note is a very tongue-in-cheek homage to the many changes the attraction has experienced over the course of the last four decades.

 
Marty Called -- Wants Changes!

There's a great, big, beautiful tomorrow
Shining at the end of every day
There's a great, big, beautiful tomorrow
And tomorrow's just a dream away

Man has a dream and that's the start
He follows his dream with mind and heart
And when it becomes a reality
It's a dream come true for you and me

So there's a great, big, beautiful tomorrow
Shining at the end of every day
There's a great, big, beautiful tomorrow
Just a dream away
