Come and Take A Sentimental Journey on a Beautiful Antique Horse

Trying to explain to people exactly why I love Disney World so much is nearly impossible for me. I don’t have the vocabulary necessary to describe it to a depth that would allow them to be able to feel it in their heart as I do. I am a student of Walt Disney. Like my dad, Walt was a man who loved spending time with his family. It was during one of his traditional Saturday outings with his daughters, in fact, that he first got the idea for Disneyland. He explained it this way:

 “Well, it came about when my daughters were very young and Saturday was always Daddy’s day with the two daughters. So we’d start out and try to go someplace, you know, different things. I’d take them to the merry-go-round and I took them different places and I’d sit while they rode the merry-go-round. Sit on a bench, you know, eating peanuts. I felt that there should be something built where the parents and the children could have fun together.”

The merry-go-round Walt referred to was actually a carousel similar to the one found in Fantasyland at the Magic Kingdom. No matter how many times I visit Disney World, I feel the same gentle tug at my heartstrings as I walk toward Prince Charming Regal Carrousel, formerly Cinderella’s Golden Carrousel. I can’t help but reflect on Walt’s words as I stare at this antique treasure in motion. As all the little princes and princesses go around, I revel in the thought that he would have loved to have seen all that’s been created for families to spend magical moments together.

Sometimes I watch as people walk on past this Disney treasure viewing it as just another carousel that one could find anywhere. They don’t seem to realize that generations upon generations have enjoyed this iconic treasure together in Walt’s Fantasyland. My own family has enjoyed so many memories here. Someday I will be placing my first grandchild on one of those unique stallions.

I hope the next time you visit you will look at Prince Charming Regal Carrousel a little differently. I hope that, like me, you will remember that it was a carousel like this one that started a great dream. I hope that, above all, you will be filled with a thankful spirit for enjoying time with your family – together; just the way Walt dreamt you would.
