FALL 2008 I BACKSTAGEPASS 4 ] Horsing Around (And Around) is saddled with a rich history If you were lucky enough to be in attendance the day Disneyland ® Park opened to an eager public, you may remember taking a spin on the King Arthur Carrousel, but you may not have realized that this classic attraction already had a storied past prior to that historic day. One of the largest in the world, the carrousel originally featured a menagerie of exotic animals. But when Walt purchased the attraction for his new Park, he decided an all-horse look was more in keeping with the medieval theme he was going for. So the rest of the creatures were placed in storage, and the search was on for additional equine mounts to take their places. Eventually, Walt and his team were able to assemble a herd of 72 trusty steeds—procured from Sunnyside Park in Toronto and Wards Kiddyland on Coney Island—and the race was on! First, Walt had all the “non-leaping” horses altered to a leaping position (for dramatic effect), then he had each of them painted in one of six colors: black, gray, chestnut, white, tan or amber. (All of them would be repainted white in 1975. And one lucky horse, Jingles, would be painted gold during the Park’s 50th Anniversary Celebration—only to be redecorated and rededicated again earlier this year in honor of Disney Legend Julie Andrews.) It’s interesting to note that no two horses are identical, and some are TRAVEL & LEISURE I SHOPPING & LEISURE I FUN & GAMES I TRAVEL I BENEFITS & DININGI INSIDER I ENTERTAINMENT LDER INFO STORY SPOTLIGHT I FEATURE I RESORT more than 100 years old!
