Bryan Cranston Says Carousel of Progress Will Reopen in May 2027
Bryan Cranston may have let the cat out of the bag today. The Breaking Bad and Malcolm in the Middle star said Carousel of Progress will reopen in May 2027. He shared that detail during a La Cava Experience in EPCOT’s Mexico pavilion. Tequila remains an effective communications strategy.
The encounter was shared by theenchantedesquire on Instagram.
The attraction has been closed since early July while Imagineers update its scenes and add a Walt Disney Audio-Animatronic.
Cranston also explained how quickly he agreed to voice Father in the reimagined attraction. His agents are required to bring him every script. Often, he says, “I choose not to do it.” His agents recommended passing on this one, too. He had other plans.
Agents: “… the Carousel of Progress.”
Cranston: “What about it?”
Agents: “They’re doing a revised version of it for Disney World.”
Cranston: “I’m in.”
Cranston first experienced the attraction as a child at the 1964 New York World’s Fair. Now he’s joining the family. Hopefully, someone else handles the cooking.
