Carousel of Progress Family

[laben594]

So I have always loved the carousel of progress. I just went on it a few days ago and my husband and I were trying to figure out if the family is the same family or a different one?? On the TTA they say it's 4 different families but they all have the same names?? lol I don't know why but we want to figure it out. Anyone got any theories?

 

[Hakunamatata]

Pretty sure its the same family.

 

[graphite1326]

Well they don't age so it can't be the same family.

 

[correcaminos]

It is the 'same' family throughout the four eras.

That's how I viewed it, not exactly the same but the same like if you time warped them. That's why Patricia and James' names change to different nicknames and such.

 

[The Empress Lilly]

Well they don't age so it can't be the same family.

I've maintained my handsome youthful looks throughout the decades and assure you I'm still the same. -_-

that's what i always thought too

 

[Cmdr_Crimson]

It's always been John (Dad), Sarah (Mom), Patricia, Jimmy, Grandma, Grandpa, & Cousin Orville...
But, we Never find out what ever happened to the second daughter in the 1900's section...Because she's never to be seen after this segment..

Lost her to Diptheria

 

[The Empress Lilly]

Your over a 100 years old?

My sage wisdom might lead one on to believe I am indeed. -_-

I hope in the future I can call upon that wisdom oh wise old one. (I bow before thee)

Lost her to Diptheria

...or a short circuit in the next scene...

 

[Goofyernmost]

She was a neighborhood kid that was sold into slavery to do the chores around the house that nobody else wanted to do. Child labor laws didn't exist back then. She moved on and became the wife of a very rich man that was in the oil trade. She did OK.

 

[Walt Disney1955]

It appears to be the same family. In real life aren't the mother and father that inspired this attraction still alive and kicking?

Yes you are right. I believe her married name was Rockefeller.

 

[BoarderPhreak]

It's the same family through the eras, as mentioned above... With some poetic license.

The grandmother in the last scene, for example - is the mother in the previous.
