My roommate and I got in line for this just before 1am on 2/24. We just missed the cutoff to ride, so we had to wait one cycle...but then another guest got stuck on her horse, as it was too high. The CMs were not legally able to help her down, but it took them awhile to determine that, and to decide that she would just have to keep riding until the horse lowered. So we got out of line, rode Peter Pan's Flight, and came back.
This time we got on with no problem, and I was able to ride Cinderella's horse! It was a short ride, but enjoyable, and very pretty so late at night. As I discovered, the horses can end up pretty high, so I had a very un-graceful dismount due to a knee injury.

I always ride this at least once a trip. If nothing more than to admire the craftsmanship that went into every horse. Its a cute little ride but adults would find it boring.

Kinda boring. Horses can be kind of high to get onto/off of.

This, to me is another of the "one and dones". It is very beautiful but seems to me that it's location in the park is ill though through. It just kind of seems "wedged in" to me. JMO.

This is your basic carousel that plays Disney music. Most people try to get Cinderella's horse. Typically not much of a wait.

Hard to screw something like this up, a simple timeless classic that you should do at least once. No need to do it more than once though.

Its a Carousel. But a great one at that. The story paintings on the inside tell the story of Cinderella. Neat thing about this ride is the history of it. Do a little research on this particular ride and it will be much more appreciated.

This ride had a lot of history to it and is classic.
It is a family tradition to go on this ride every year.
It is usually a short line, but loading takes a while. But all carousels are slow loading.

This carousel is absolutely beautiful, especially at night, and there are great views of Fantasyland and the castle as it goes around. It plays great classic Disney songs too. But it is slow loading, and the ride is short so they can move more people through.

This is a ride really for little kids. Secretly I have always loved riding carousels, so when my girls came along I have always gotten them to ride. They are at the ages where carousels are "kids stuff", but I always insist for a "photo - op". This is truly a beautiful carousel that seems even more magical at night. My only gripe is that the ride is way too short, by the time you're enjoying the flow it stops. This is a must for any parent with a child under 9.

I rate it a 10 when comparing it to other carousels. It is spectacular. The location is perfect between the castle and Dumbo. My grandchildren love this ride, they are toddler and pre school age. It makes me dizzy, but that's part of getting older, I guess!

Not really a con on this one, because it is one of the more beautifully detailed carousel you will see. Nothing unusal about the carousel so don't expect any surprises, but it is a great carousel.

Kids love this ride due to the classic features like music and detail of the horses. It is great for first time kids to see Fantasyland from a high vantage point at slow speeds.

My daughter still love this at 7. If you ride early, you may ride with the band and characters...we have done this several times in the past. Hopefully budget cuts don't take this too.

Little kids (and some big ones too) can't resist a carousel. This one, however, is just like the one near YOUR house! do it if you like carousels, otherwise you're not missing much, and nothing cutting edge disney about it ... except that it is a classic.

Beautiful handcrafted carousel
|

Cons:

As far as a ride . . . it's the same carousel that's at any mall
|
|
Beautifully handpainted and handcarved but it's still just a carousel. I'd take a nice look at it just for admiration but I wouldn't even spend the 2 minutes it takes to ride it out of my day at the park, let alone wait in any line.
. . . might be better if they transformed it back to it's former glory, remember that carousels were thrill rides that were meant for adults.

Carousels are in every theme park in America

nice for the little ones to ride as the wait is never really that long. My 5yo is a huge fan of Mary Poppins and she saw Mary riding this one day.
Just like any other carousel in any other theme park in America

The lights and the brightly-colored horses make this one of the prettiest attractions in the Magic Kingdom; it's especially pretty at night. It's no different than any other carousel in the world, though, apart from the fact it plays Disney music. Fun if the line is short.
