Originally Posted By leobloom I'm planning to travel from 800 miles away just to see the 'Prince Charming Regal Carrousel'. Can't wait to see the attraction-specific merchandise they cook up for it. Wow! 'Prince Charming Regal Carrousel' sounds so exciting. I'm glad Disney is creating an "all-new" adventure for my wittle boy who idolizes Prince Charming and wants to train to be a jouster!! I can't wait to take pictures of him pretending to joust on his horse!!! If he falls off his training device (i.e. horse) while pretending to joust (i.e. riding), I'll sue the pants off Disney, because they have encouraged this kind of risky behavior through their backstory.* *hypothetical post from WDWM

I wonder if this will be to WDW what the Toy Story Musical announcement was for DLR, where the not-so positive feedback about what was coming (including on the DPB) got them to un-announce the upcoming change.

Which is kind of cool, but a nightmare when you consider that you can only partake in the ring toss if you're riding on an outside horse. Oy. And, wow...Disney is already cutting the budget on lame things like Aurora's Crayola Adventure?? That can't be good!
