BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted May 24, 2012 Report Share Posted May 24, 2012 From the Disney Parks blog. On a related note, I recently found something on eBay that I just had to have. It's a binder containing the scripts to all of the COP shows ever performed, along with a CD with the corresponding recordings. Yep, I'm that geeky. And no Lou, they didn't pay me to take it off their hands. Vintage Walt Disney World: A Carousel Holiday in 1975posted on May 24th, 2012 by Nate Rasmussen, Archivist, Marketing Resource CenterNo need to look at your calendars, it’s not Christmas time just yet. That is unless you’re inside Walt Disney’s Carousel of Progress at Magic Kingdom Park where our Audio-Animatronics family celebrates the holiday everyday.A few weeks ago, blog reader Amanda asked if I could find a vintage look into the final scene of the Carousel, and after some digging, I found what Christmastime looked like back in May 1975 (Believe it or not, that final scene is actually set on New Years Eve).And while the message of the Carousel of Progress hasn’t changed after all these years, it looks like Jimmy traded in his plaid pants for some jeans, Patricia opted for ski boots over her guitar, and Rover, well, he hasn’t moved much in almost 37 years.http://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/2012/05/vintage-walt-disney-world-a-carousel-christmas-in-1975/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted May 25, 2012 Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 Monique-That's an awesome blog entry. Thanks for posting it.I would love to see the text of the script that went with this scene.It sounds like you know where to find that.BTW- my twins recently attended a journalism workshop with their school newspaper/yearbook in Orlando. One of the speakers was the man in charge of the official Disney blog. They both want his job. So do I.TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Discamper 394 Posted May 25, 2012 Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 I liked it better when GE sponsored it before Disney copped up the audio to take out all the GE references. Thank you for posting this it takes me back in time as a kid. I still do Carousel of Progress every time I go to MK. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I would love to see the text of the script that went with this scene.It sounds like you know where to find that.We're camping at my in-laws this weekend and I actually brought it with me. Maybe while I'm lounging and having a beverage I'll take a whack at getting it in a format to share here. :)BTW- my twins recently attended a journalism workshop with their school newspaper/yearbook in Orlando.
