How can Sword in the Stone motifs have been used in 1955 when the movie only came out in 1963? -- Stereo 21:37, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
The only reference to the 1963 film is the plaque on the anvil side. In the ceremony 'Merlin' only mentions 'Excalibur' and the realms quest to determine 'king for a day.' …so it is left to the guest's imagination. However, Sleeping Beauty Castle was the 'weenie' at the end of Main Street and the carousel the 'weenie' through the castle portcullis three years before the film Sleeping Beauty was released.

[1] - anyone who's an expert on this ride, can you please check this photo - and in the back of the room you will see a horses head - does it look like any of the horses on the ride? Photo was taken in 1931 in Toronto. Thanks - Themepark
I removed the section of the unverified repainting of the horses every night. The horses are actually rotated off the the carrousel periodically and replaced with similar horses while repainted. -- Andysund 07:22, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
This blog posting by Disney about the King Arthur Carrousel contains a lot of trivia-style information. I'm not sure what should be added, so I would appreciate some assistance with getting it transferred to this posting. Thank you.

King Arthur succeeded the throne by pulling Excalibur from the Stone. A ceremony is held here to determine who in the realm shall reign as king for the day. These words are carefully chosen, they are concise, informative and true. Caption restored - careful official wording. The topic is King Arthur, The name of the sword in the brass anvil is Excalibur, the ceremony is not daily, and the final phrase is always 'king for the day.' - look it up.
The TOPIC is Jingles, the carousel horse, not who is riding her, and until I can secure licensing release we DO NOT MENTION copyrighted characters. Better to keep it at Jingles with her commemorative rider. Very nice and all, about the other caption - 'Cast members portraying Mary Poppins and Bert from Disney's 1964 film ride the Carrousel' - but those can be mentioned elsewhere in the article, not in reference to the picture. Or get a better picture of Jingles.
Also it may be best not to depend on image stacking - please keep the photo with the Horses section. Mind the first 'Jingles' reference in the photo caption too. Disneywizard ( talk) 07:31, 28 January 2011 (UTC)
The copyright release pending the Jingles wikimedia photo is undergoing special dispensation among six people - er, make that two people and four attorneys. Let's not jeopardize inclusion just yet.
Damned political correctness - well things have changed since the ceremony was written - Gender ambiguity ruined all the jokes and historical references to 'King for a Day.'
And more importantly, the article is about the carousel attraction (which is never called a 'ride'), not the anvil, Excalibur, the ceremony, or even the flower-beds.
Present at the ceremony was Julie Andrews, in a wheelchair. She was unable to transfer aboard Jingles.
You are correct, the Jingles paragraph should have a level 3 header, not just a bold topic first word.
That sounds good, let's make it a level 2 paragraph instead. Guruspeak photo captions, with verbose detail in the article.
Thanks for all your help improving the article. —(o=8> Disneywizard ( talk) 18:17, 28 January 2011 (UTC)
Could some expert explain why there are two R's instead of the usual one R? "Carrousel" is unusual to my eye! Thanks. jengod ( talk) 06:06, 10 February 2012 (UTC)
