No need to look at your calendars, it’s not Christmas time just yet. That is unless you’re inside Walt Disney’s Carousel of Progress (http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/parks/magic-kingdom/attractions/walt-disneys-carousel-of-progress/?int_cmp=SOC-intDPFY12Q1CarouselChristmasMK24-05-12@0001) at Magic Kingdom Park (http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/parks/magic-kingdom/?int_cmp=SOC-intDPFY12Q1CarouselChristmasMK24-05-12@0002) where our Audio-Animatronics family celebrates the holiday everyday.

A few weeks ago, blog reader Amanda asked if I could find a vintage look into the final scene of the Carousel, and after some digging, I found what Christmas looked like back in May 1975.

And while the message of the Carousel of Progress hasn’t changed after all these years, it looks like Jimmy traded in his plaid pants for some jeans, Patricia opted for ski boots over her guitar, and Rover, well, he hasn’t moved much in almost 37 years.
