Also, from the
Yesterland website:
On October 29, 2001, the Orlando Sentinel reported, "Carousel of Progress, which first appeared at the 1964 New York World's Fair, is now shuttered. Although there isn't a 'closed' sign on the futuristic building, the attraction has been taken off Magic Kingdom guide maps and the daily bulletin board on Main Street." It appeared that Walt Disney's Carousel of Progress had welcomed its final audience -- ironically just as Walt Disney World began the "100 Years of Magic" celebration, honoring Walt Disney one hundred years after his birth. However, during the 2001 holiday season, the Carousel of Progress reopened for a few weeks, closing once again in January 2002. The pattern repeated for peak periods in spring and summer of 2002. So, for now, if you visit the Magic Kingdom during a busy season, there's a good chance you'll find the Carousel of Progress operating. Take advantage of the opportunity, because it's likely that the Carousel of Progress will come to a permanent standstill one of these days.
So what we need is an Orlando FlyerTalker to report on the status so the "Do" can be planned when it's open.
