History and Trivia

  • At this location: From the time the park opened in 1955 until Fantasyland was closed in 1983 for a near complete redesign, the area in which this show is performed was occupied by King Arthur Carrousel, which was moved back during the redesign.
  • This attraction's history: The show remains much the same as when it first started showing when the New Fantasyland debuted in 1983.
