As an adult I will often overlook this experience, making more room in my schedule for more dare-devilish attractions. Young ones love the entire experience, and if they are like me as a child (OK… and probably still as an adult), take special care to select just the right horse. Prince Charming Regal Carousel is a no-brainer for kids. The music is a medley of beloved organ tunes that give mix of fun and nostalgia as the horses spin, bringing a cool breeze to your face (and I suspect a smile to your heart). During the day, bright and vibrant colors give the ride life, but at night, 2,300 lights give the carousel a glimmering magic.
Prince Charming Regal Carousel brings the Cinderella story to life as it turns, with 18 ornate hand-painted vignettes. Of the 90 horses, 72 are still from the original carousel. Only one has a gold bow tied on the tail, which some say belongs to Cinderella. There are 90 unique horses and one chariot, all trimmed in gold, banners, and flowers. In true Disney fashion, no attention to detail was spared.
In 1967 Disney purchased it and completely refurbished it – painting each horse by hand. Originally crafted in 1917 by the Philadelphia Toboggan Co., this carousel took residence in Detroit, Michigan until 1928 when it moved to Maplewood, New Jersey. The name may be new, but this ride is anything but. Originally known as Cinderella’s Golden Carousel, the name changed in June of 2010 to Prince Charming Regal Carrousel. In the heart of New Fantasyland, directly behind Cinderella Castle, is Prince Charming Regal Carrousel. I don’t know many people who wouldn’t be awed by their charm. Full of beautifully carved horses trimmed with detail, winding around to tinkling music.
When is the last time you rode a carousel? They’re so enchanting.
