Walt Disney's personal favorite attraction, this revolving theater show follows an American family through the 20th century as new technologies transform daily life. Originally created for the 1964 World's Fair, the theater rotates around a central stage with four scenes set in the 1900s, 1920s, 1940s, and the present day. The catchy 'There's a Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow' theme song was written by the Sherman Brothers. With seating for 240 and shows running continuously, you'll rarely wait more than 15 minutes for this 21-minute show.
