===Halloween (1940s)===
As It's A Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow continues to play, the scene changes to the 1940s. John is now sitting in a circular booth and wearing a sweater. His dog Rover has once again changed colors but is still lying on the floor. As the music stops, John tells guests that everything is better than ever in the 1940s. He then shows off the new technology that they have in the kitchen, including a refrigerator that holds more food than ice , and a dishwasher. John also informs guests that he is now a part of the rat race, which he then explains means that the highways are now full of people, who drive to work in the city, and then turn around and drive home every day. Johns also says, that they now have television (when it works) and that John Cameron Swayze brings them the news every night.
At this point, the scene shifts and focuses on a room on the right, where the grandmother and grandfather are watching boxing on TV. After that, Jim (the son) calls from his room and asks what John thinks of his Jack-O-Lantern. After John says it’s scary, Jim remarks that he used his sister Patty as a model. After Rover "laughs" at this joke (barks), Sarah calls out from a room on the left and tells Jim and Rover that Patty is prettier than either one of them.
John then tells guests that Patty is using an old exercise machine that was "all the rage in the twenties" but never worked. Patty is then shown using the machine while talking on the phone about her date for that night. After this, John tells the audience that he is caught up in the "do-it yourself" craze. John and Sarah are redoing their basement and making into a rumpus room. On the left, guests can see Sarah putting wallpaper up in the rumpus room. She is using a "paint mixer" that John says he made for her, using a blender. As he is admiring his handy work, the paint mixer goes haywire and shoots paint everywhere. John then says that it's time to move on, but everybody should try and cheer Sarah up by "singing our song". At this cue, A Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow begins playing, and guests move onto the next scene.
 
===Christmas (21st Century)===
Unlike previous scenes, the Christmas scene begins will the whole family in one room. They all sing It's A Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow as guests enter the scene. John is standing on the right working on Christmas dinner, while Sarah sits nearby working on a computer. Rover is once again in the kitchen, and is also once again a different color. Jim and his grandmother are playing a virtual reality game, while Trish and her grandfather sit around the Christmas tree. Sarah tells John that she has programmed the oven to recognize his voice. John then comments that now all of the household appliances are voice automated, to which the grandfather replies "Then tell the refrigeration to bring me a root beer".[[Image:nowfinale.jpg|400px|thumb|The final scene in the current attraction, Christmas at the turn of the 21st century.]]
