MickeyBlog is reporting live from D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event, and we are bringing you along for the ride.

Throughout the evening, we have been previewing many of the pavilions and experiences awaiting attendees, including the Walt Disney Animation Pavilion, Pixar Pavilion, and the Disney Archives: Uncrated exhibit.

We also made our way to Walt Disney Imagineering’s Horizons Pavilion, where we got a behind-the-scenes look at Walt Disney Imagineering’s work while also catching a glimpse of what’s coming next to the Disney Parks.

Now, however, I want to focus specifically on the pavilion’s Carousel of Progress exhibit.

The Refurbishment Is Underway

As we speak, work is underway on a massive refurbishment of Walt Disney’s Carousel of Progress.

While the Carousel of Progress will continue to star John, Sarah, and the rest of the family, the attraction will now follow them from the summer of 1969 through the distant future!

Finally, the show will also feature a Walt Disney Audio-Animatronic.

Imagineering’s D23 Exhibit

Inside the Walt Disney Imagineering Horizons exhibit this evening, we were able to take in the Carousel of Progress display.

The exhibit featured mannequins dressed as John and Sarah in their new futuristic outfits.

Here’s a closer look at John.

And here’s Sarah.

Rover was also proudly displayed in the exhibit! He still looks adorable!

Looking more closely, we spotted a scale model of the updated Act IV of the Carousel of Progress.

A second model showcases Act I.

Finally, the walls were lined with photos highlighting the Carousel of Progress throughout its history.

Here’s another look at the exhibit.

I, for one, hope that we learn more about the updated attraction as D23 progresses.
