 ==Attraction History==
-The history of the Prince Charming Regal Carrousel actually goes back to long before Walt Disney World opened. The carousel was built in 1917 by the Philadelphia Toboggan Company, for use in the Detroit Palace Garden Park <ref> http://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/2015/02/carrousel-horses-ready-for-the-day-at-magic-kingdom-park/ </ref>. Originally, the ride was named the "Liberty Carousel" and it was painted red, white and blue <ref name= "mouseplanet">https://www.mouseplanet.com/9271/The_Tale_of_Cinderellas_Golden_Carrousel </ref>. On the original canopy, images of Miss Liberty and other patriotic symbols could be seen. In 1928, the carousel was brought back to Philadelphia for repairs, and then sold to the Olympic Park, in Maplewood, New Jersey <ref name= "mouseplanet"/>. The carousel ran there for 39 years, until 1965 when the park closed  <Ref name= "Krokis"/>. The Walt Disney Company purchased the carousel from the closing park for use in the unopened Walt Disney World. After purchase, Disney Imagineers (including John Hench and Isle Voght) had to completely restore the carousel. They  stripped and repainted the carousel's horses, giving each horse a unique design. Disney also added a 23 karat gold leaf, silver, and bronze to each of the ride's 90 horses <ref> http://www.wdwradio.com/2007/09/cinderellas-golden-carrousel/ </ref>. Imagineer John Hench decided to have all of the horses on the carousel be white due to the fact that in Disneyland, guests always wanted to ride the the white "hero" horse. <Ref name= "Krokis"> Secret stories of Walt Disney World: things you never knew you never knew

-Jim Korkis - Sam Gennawey </ref> According to Voght, "Disney purchased some antique horses that were made by two other well-known producers of carousels: the Dentzel Co. and the Parker Co." <ref name= "mouseplanet"/> Furthermore, the canopy was rethemed, so that 18 scenes from the Disney movie Cinderella were included in the attraction <ref> http://allears.net/tp/mk/carr.htm </ref>.
 The carousel opened as Cinderella’s Golden Carrousel on October 1, 1971 <ref> http://thisdayindisneyhistory.homestead.com/disneyworldgrandopening.html</ref>. Although the attraction has not changed since opening day, on June 1, 2010 Disney announced that they were changing the name of the ride to the “Prince Charming Regal Carrousel” <ref> http://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/2010/05/carrousel-name-change-at-walt-disney-world/ </ref>. With the name change, Disney also released a new backstory for the attraction which says:
