The concept

The carousel was built by the Philadelphia Toboggan Co. It first stood as the Liberty Carrousel in Belle Isle park in Detroit. At Magic Kingdom it was themed to the prince from Cinderella. There are ninety hand-carved wooden horses and one chariot.

No two the same

Every horse is unique, with its own golden helmets, shields and flower garlands. Pick your favourite.

Beautiful in the evening

In the evening the carousel's lights are on and it looks even more magical.

Short waits

The queue is usually short. A nice stop just after you've walked through the castle.

Visitor information

There is no minimum height. Children under 7 must be accompanied by someone aged 14 or older. There is no Lightning Lane. If you'd rather sit, take a seat in the chariot.
