Walt Disney once said, “We keep moving forward—opening up new doors and doing new things—because we’re curious. And curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.” It’s in that spirit that guests this fall will have the opportunity to visit—or revisit—some of the most beloved Disney attractions of yesteryear. D23 Destination D: Attraction Rewind presented by H2O Plus is taking place now at Walt Disney World Resort. D23 brings Disney archivists, Imagineers, Legends, and luminaries together to celebrate fan favorites such as Adventure Thru Inner Space, If You Had Wings, and 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea with rarely seen concept art and images, vintage video clips, and hours of revealing stories. In addition, there is a full day of presentations dedicated to the 1964-65 New York World’s Fair, which debuted beloved attractions like it’s a small world and Carousel of Progress.
