Carousel of Progress New Laptop

[Chef Mickey]

Does anyone have a picture of the "New" Laptop used in the last scene (apparently just a few weeks ago?)

I also have a couple other questions. Why can't more "easy" fixes like this be done?

Can't they make the shoes James is wearing some new Nike ones instead of the Reebok high tops? Or how about a new shirt that isn't so 80s?

Or Patricia's leg warmers?

Can't they just update all the clothes at least? It would literally cost <$1,000!

Agreed. Progress has completely stalled in the 80's. We still love it as it's a classic but the last scene definitely is in need of an update.

THERES A NEW LAPTOP!!!!! Man this makes me happy, it makes me feel they at least care. I really wish there was room for another scene that would always be 20 years ahead...although now that we are past the jetsons idealogy what do we think that it might be? This is where tesla. apple. spacex. neil degrasse Tyson should be used... let them design it. Because when I think of future I think the jetsons lol. maybe a pod like on Elysium where it heals you, or maybe just that look.... you should leave the ride happy and educated about where we have been and more excited for where we are going. That was the feelings with the original tomorrow land and this ride, in the 60s people were excited about the jet age/future.

If I may pop in on this thread, my son had a question about a character. He's been hooked on this attraction lately.
We know the immediate family is John, Sarah, Patricia and James.
In the 1st scene there's a young girl standing next to Sarah as Sarah irons. It can't be Patricia since she's shown later in the scene getting ready for a dance.
Who's the young girl? She's not in any other scene.

No idea, a visiting niece? but keep in mind that they are four different families that just so happen to look identical and have the same names lol as per the Peoplemover narration.

I heard they may be adding a Zune to the final scene to really bring it to the modern age.

so true!

We were talking about how the future really is now. I mean I can voice activate my oven to turn on. Only thing is my oven will be smart enough to not set itself to 750 or whatever. It has a smart feature to max it at 550 and broil will not be set remotely. So my current oven is smarter than the future oven LOL

This makes me so excited I may have to go to MK soon just to see this. I've been asking for a new laptop for years.

Enjoy your meal.

According to the CM who guided us on the "Keys" tour, it was never explained. I know, anti-climatic.

Totally dyslexic with numbers so thanks!

I cannot help but think how dumb their oven was every time I use mine. Glad our technology goy smarted than they guessed 20+ years ago

 

[Scrungo]

I don't know. People dressing like it's the 80s/90s seems to becoming a trend again.

That's true. My high school students are wearing it ( and they think they "discovered" it like it's new).

 

[Chef Mickey]

So has no one ridden it in the last 2 weeks to confirm/deny this rumor? I need a picture!

 

[Captain Barbossa]

If this is true, then maybe it's a start.

 

[Chef Mickey]

I will try to make it over Thursday evening, just for you

Thanks, pimp. I appreciate it. Will check back eagerly.

 

[Chef Mickey]

I've always assumed it was a neighborhood girl Sarah paid to help her with the laundry

Good hypothesis. That actually sounds reasonable.

I think I just found motivation to head over Wednesday night.
