I love it! But it's definitely not the voice from when it was at Disneyland. What was that guy's name? Rex something.

Rex Allen, the Singing Cowboy. No, wait, that was Gene Autry (or was it Autrey).

The current version of the Carousel of Progress features the voice of Jean Shepherd as Father and narrator. Rex Allen now plays Grandfather, but voiced Father in the original version.

I THOUGHT the grandpa sounded like the voice of the old-version father! That is way cool.
