I try to do pretty much everything no matter how kiddie. I've ridden Goofy's Barnstormer and lots of other rides I was probably too big for. But I can't bring myself to get on the carousel. Have you ridden it?
Ever ridden the carousel?

I am in the same camp. I've never gotten up on a horsie...

I've ridden plenty of carousels but never the one in MK.

We rode it on our last trip...which was our "let's do things we've never done before" trip. I love carousels...my hometown had one of the originals from the early 1900s...it was just beautiful...until a roofing crew burned it down. It was so sad thousands of people went to the fire scene to mourn the loss. A new one was built in it's place but it surely was an irreplaceable treasure.

So did the roofing crew get paid? 
I've ridden the carousel a total of....once! I rode it a long time ago -- maybe 5 years ago? -- and just haven't found the time since 
Maybe that'll be a must-do for me on the next trip.

I ride it each time I go and I force whoever is with me to do it also! It's such a main staple for me! It is one symbol I associate with Fantasyland and I will continue to ride it every time I go!

It does have a long history, but the combination of a lack of excitement and feeling a bit goofy keeps me off of it. Maybe if I had gone to WDW when I was younger.

I have never ridden as an "adult".
Tue, 05/04/2010 - 15:44
Millie -- I love that idea of a "things we've never done before" trip!
I rode the carousel on one of my first "adult" trips -- I wanted to say I'd ridden every single ride in the World! ;-D

That really is a fabulous idea. Although at some point I might have to hit some old favorites on the dining part of the trip. There's a reason we've avoided a lot of the restaurants we haven't been to.

I hear you Brad. There are some restaurants we just can't miss. Boma is always a favorite and it just about "killed" me to not eat there last trip. But Ohana was a nice "substitute"!!
Next trip we're hoping to have breakfast at Kona Cafe...we've never done a sit down breakfast before so that'll count as a "never before"!!

I thought the "Never Done" idea was so good I gave it it's own thread.

I love carousels especially the horses that go up and down. I rode it last year and will again this year, even if no one else wants to go on it.

This is when I like to ride the carousel, too! It's not "line worthy" for me, but there is something really magical about riding Cinderella's horse (the one with the ribbon) at 2 am in a park that feels like your own with the castle shimmering in the dark <3

Just our last trip I rode the carousel.....8 times. I's say my son is a fan.
Wed, 05/25/2011 - 18:53
But of course! When I was kid all the time, now every other trip or so usually.

We ride it because the kids like to....but I think if I didn't have the kids with me I probably wouldn't ride it

Are you kidding me?! It's a tradition! Always! Before kids, with kids, without kids - always ride the carousel! (Clearly, I'm alone in this 
And no benches or standing beside the kid for me. I want my OWN horse.
