Carousel refurb

[blemon]

So does this mean there is going to be a big ugly wooden wall around the carousel?
What do they typically do?

Bummer.

I'm hoping it will get postponed a couple of weeks.

Do you figure that the guests arriving after you leave will be big fans of the wooden wall?

HA!

Usually any time there's a refurb, the walls/scrim are very well done and match the theming of the area. Not an ideal situation, but I wouldn't say there's a "big ugly wooden wall" as much as a "big, well decorated and themed wall."

Hate it when a headliner is down for refurb...

When is it scheduled for refurb?

My daughter is a big carousel fan so I just checked the dates.

Our first MK day is 4/23, refurb supposedly starts on 4/24

Not happy. Our trip is May 7 - 13. Darn.

I've been going 'round and 'round about this whole thing.

You joke but for my kids this ride is up there with 7DMT. And I will never understand.

We arrive also April 23. Was tossing around going to the MK for the evening, now it looks like a must. Is FP available for the carousel ?? Last day could be busy

Here's what it looked like when it was under refurbishment in 2011:

Sorry to hear that your timing is bad for this refurb, OP. It stinks when it happens during a trip!

I know it won't happen, but I always think how fun it would be for them to add some Disney horses in there, just kind of mixed in - Khan, Sampson, Major, Maximus, etc.

This is top on my daughter's list. Thanks for posting the pic mom2! It's not a big wooden wall but...

It's fun to see old pics when dumbo was there. I think I like the changes but it's fun to reminisce.

Yeah, I have to admit, I was less than thrilled with what it did to the aesthetic in Fantasyland.

If you go to The Disney website and find the carousel in the list of attractions, then click on the calendar, it says no times available during the speculated refurbishment dates. If you click after those dates, it says the hours available, so to me it seems to be confirmed.

The carousel is my daughters favorite! She is 4 and will only ride about 5 things in MK. So bummed that it will be closed during our trip that I'm considering moving our trip to June.

Got it.. my mistake sorry. When I see carousel I immediately think of Carousel of Progress - not the actual carousel in Fantasyland.
