D23 Expo Carousel of Projects

Come join us at the Parks and Resorts Pavilion and see all the wonderful projects taking place throughout the Disney company




The entrance for the Parks and Resort Pavilion - Carousel of Projects is suppose to represent the Carousel of Progress attraction that was at Disneyland, but then moved to Walt Disney World






Video of Carousel of Projects preshow


Once inside, there is a short presentation that goes through the history of the evolution of the Disney parks and what is to come
















Beyond Disneyland...


Walt Disney World




EPCOT Center


Tokyo Disneyland!


Focusing on the Matterhorn. Someone doing a test run on the Matterhorn bobsleds










And now, Parks and Resorts Pavilion




Here's to the Future.  Here's to the future and you!


First thing you see when you exit the pre-show is the bow of a giant Disney Cruise ship


First stop is the Magic Kingdom's New Fantasyland model


Concept drawing for the New Fantasyland


The giant New Fantasyland model on display for all to see




Looking towards Belle's cottage and the Beast's Castle


Water fountain in the village


Closer look at the fountain.  This would be Gaston and his bumbling sidekick, LeFou


Peeking over the Fantasyland Forest, is the new Little Mermaid attraction


In front of the Little Mermaid attraction is the all new Seven Dwarfs mine ride


I believe this is the loading station


The Seven Dwarfs mine ride takes the place of Cinderella's chateau in the previous New Fantasyland concept


In the far corner is Dumbo's Circus






The Barnstormer from Mickey's Toon Town Fair is still there. This time retitled the Great Goofini (or something like that)






On the backside of the Seven Dwarfs mine ride is a village themed to  the Little Mermaid, which would be to the right (not pictured)


The train station


Another look at the Seven Dwarfs mine train attraction




During the ride, these cars will tilt side to side


Withe the Seven Dwarfs mine train, there is no need for a Snow White's Scary Adventure


The entrance to Dumbo's Circus








Another look at the train station


A model of one of the cars for the Seven Dwarfs mine train




An idea on concept of what the new attraction will be like














Graphics of the tilt motion of the trains








An early stage mock-up design


Wheeee!


This looks to seat two adults fine


Swinging side to side motion


For Disney California Adventure, a model of the Carthay Circle Theatre is on display




The marquee states that this will be the Carthay Circle Restaurant


On this model, it appears that there is a second level with outside seating


Model of Buena Vista Street




Walt and Mickey statue






Signage of what lies beyond Buena Vista Street




This gives an idea of what the place may look like once all the construction is completed at Disney California Adventure










This model must be old because the Hollywood Pictures Backlot marquee is still intact here. ha ha




A vehicle for Mater's Junkyard Jamboree on display










A vehicle from Radiator Springs Racers is on display


Seats 6






Underneath the vehicle


Ramone's House of Body Art car hoods






Panoramic view of the construction taking place for Cars Land at Disney California Adventure


























Shanghai Disney Resort




Storybook Castle


Model of Shanghai Disneyland






Overview of how the Resort may look like

Well that will conclude for the Carousel of Projects
