Is there a tour that goes to the Circle D Ranch?

Hi everyone,

Does anyone know if it is possible to see the Circle D Ranch at Disneyland?

I am guessing not but live in hope.

I don't believe it's possible. We walked by it on the tour last year that some of us on this board got to go on. Unfortunately we weren't allowed to take pictures backstage.

I think it might be included in the "Adventures by Disney" tour.

I am very ignorant on this. What is the Circle D?

I believe it is where Disney's 32 horses are stabled. It is behind toon town, and yes Adventures by Disney can include a tour of the barn area. I know because I asked again about being able to visit all of their horses, and the answer was the same as the year before. I am sorry, but that is an closed off area to the general public. But Adventures by Disney offers that on their tour.

We went there on the ABD Backstage Magic tour. If I remember right I think they took our cameras away, but the guides took some so we got them on the CD. Very infomative.

There is a write-up about the Circle D on the D23 web site if you are interested.

We did the Backstage Magic ABD tour in June and had a fabulous time. If you're considering doing the trip only to see the Circle D, reconsider. I'd say we spent no more than 20 minutes in that area.

I'm guessing he just needed a little memory jog because he posted this-

And in the article is an satellite picture with the circle D marked on it.

For those who may not know- Disney shows their horses that pull their equipment. As a draft horse owner and enthsiast this really makes me happy! Here is a link to photos of them at a draft show in 2009...

I'd love to go again. It was flat out amazing..and there were only 13 of us, so we really had a special time.

If you get a chance to visit WDW, The stables at the Tri-Circle-D Ranch there are open to the public, and include lots of cool information placards and such. Anybody can just wander in (Fort Wilderness area).
