“The Progressland Pavilion was designed as a giant carrousel in which the audience would rotate around a central core of scenes, visiting a family as its life-style changed from 1890 through 1920 to 1940 and up to the present. […….] As usual, (Walt) Disney kept closely involved in the show’s design. When his staff worked on a comical 1920’s scene in which lazy, beer-drinking ‘Cousin Orville’ was to sit in a bathtub with his back to the audience, Walt questioned the staging. He turned the tub around to face the audience, took off his shoes and socks, and jumped in. “He’d wiggle his toes, don’t you think?” was Disney’s conclusion. It was another of the subliminal touches that had become a Disney trademark.”
