Photo update as of Sunday, April 10. Two sections of the exterior of the Carousel of Progress have scaffolding with construction scrims. The People Mover passes behind these construction scrims.

This is off topic but I actually don't mind the dance party, I just hate the location.

All of those strollers make me sad.
I don't think that's the progress Uncle Walt had in mind. :\

That type of complaint has come up everytime they put a scrim up. They we wait a few days and there it is. Patience is not a virtue that is in heavy supply around here. I'm not saying that this one will ever have the picture, but, if it's only going to be there for a few days, let's spend that money on more CM's or higher CM pay instead of the constant striving for visual perfection.

Have I gone blind, I don't see any wheelchairs or ECV's in the pictures. If they were there I would call that progress. If it's the strollers then I think we have to realize that when Walt was around there was one (1) small park. WDW is a world with a lot of miles to travel, it is a family location and as such it requires those simple ways of keeping families able to stay in the parks and enjoy it longer. So that would mean progress as well.

Ha! You're right. Wrong wording. I'll correct.
The first photo has plenty of strollers. And that's a light day. It's usually far worse.

I saw that, but, there is a world of difference between disability vehicles and strollers. But, even the strollers in a place like WDW is not a negative overall. It has become a necessity, that's the world we live in, we might as well go with the flow. It will save on growing ulcers. And it is what can only be defined as 21st century progress.
Let's agree to differ.

You know what's funny?
I hope you're not in the parks next week. I am bringing a stroller for my 3 year old. Small, but quick! I hope I don't run you over!

If they can afford to buy back $8 Billion worth of stock, you'd think they could afford to do a proper scrim.

It's even worse when there's a sea of strollers in front of the Haunted Mansion. Talk about ruining the ambience-!

Any truth to the attraction upgrade rumors I keep hearing?

I'd just love for the dad's audio to be consistent from scene to scene.
In one of them he sounds like he's talking through an old, scratchy radio.
I'd also support the final scene being restored to its original, then rewrite the opening script to make it clear we are about to see the progress of the US over 4 early decades.

I've been tentivly waiting for a little refurb for nine months now..
