Cinderella's Golden Carousel |
Go round and round on this historic carousel. Legend has it that Walt Disney was inspired to include one after taking his daughter's to the merry-go-round at LA's Griffith Park. It was built by Italian woodcarvers in 1917 and featured at Olympic Park in Maplewood, New Jersey. For trivia fans, it's technically the oldest attraction in Fantasyland. Now it plays Disney tunes as it spins. We somehow doubt that was the case 90 years ago.
When Disney acquired it, the company artists refurbished the 90 horses so that no two are exactly alike. There are eighteen hand painted scenes that tell the story of Cinderella on the wooden canopy that covers this attraction. This 2 minute ride is perfect for young children. If you're a frequent visitor, take a photo of your little one with each visit and watch him/her 'grow' over the years.
