Ask a hundred Magic Kingdom guests to rank their favorite attractions in the park, and you’re bound to get a hundred totally different lists.

Walt Disney’s Carousel of Progress Another of the attractions that got its start at the 1964 World’s Fair, Walt Disney’s Carousel of Progress delivers a look at advances in technology from the turn of the 20th century to the 1920’s, 1940’s, and today.  While it may be a bit dated, it holds the distinction of being one of the ...
