I'm curious, Disney says they follow a family through the 20th century in Carousel of Progress, but what happened to the little girl in the first scene?

She hated progress and went to join a convent where they still used one of those hand pumped washing machines. She found a home!

Another thought... How do we know she wasn't the wife in the final scene and it was the son that was missing?

Another guest thought she was at The Land in Epcot , went onstage and grabbed what she thought was a cucumber. Turns out it was the little girl.

There were originally 2 daughters in the family who were constantly in competition with each other over grades, sports and parental attention. The sibling rivalry got to be so bad that one night daughter #1 took a hatchet to daughter #2, doing away with her, and buried her in the backyard. The parents were understanding however because they loved daughter #1 more, so they swore all family members to secrecy. The family told the authorities who were alerted to the disappearance of daughter #2 that she had simply run away to the big city to be an aspiring actress never to be heard from again. After a city wide search for her that revealed no further clues to her whereabouts, further searches were abandoned and the case of missing daughter #2 remains in the cold case files. The family secret lived on for generation to generation, never to be revealed.

Should we contact Ghost Hunters to do a seance?
