Park guides and maps said "Explore Japan's heritage in an incredible time-travel adventure!" The show was presented in a rotating theater, similar to the Carousel of Progress. However, they were designed in the opposite way. In Meet the World, the audiences sat in the rotating theater inside with the stages built around them, whereas the audience in the Carousel of Progress sits in the rotating outside with the stages being the center of the building. Meet the World's layout meant less audience capacity but a larger stage area, while Carousel of Progress's format has more capacity but smaller stages. The show's theme song, "We Meet The World With Love", was written by the Sherman Brothers.
