Meh. I don't recall Marry Poppins doing any care taking for wee Prince Arthur. It's King Arthur's Carousel. Worst travesty ever? Hardly, but I wish they'd found some other way to honor her.

With all the jokes about DL using Julie Andrews so much, I'm glad they are paying her tribute while she's still around. I mean, she's an amazing actress with a terrific singing voice. A true legend.

They should stage a revival of Victor/Victoria at the Fantasyland Theater.

Cheese man and I went to a showing for Outfest, where Lesley Ann Warren was watching in the audience and did a Q&A afterwards... she looked fabulous. Best part was when the audience got her to get into character and say... "I'm horny!"

I thought the best part was when I got into her character and said, "I'm horny!"

The worst part was finding my truck towed away.

GC got to enjoy that adventure with me.

Funny, I don't recall Sleeping Beauty hanging out with King Arthur either, but the Carrousel has been decorated with those images for many a year.


I don't think it's the best way to tributize her either, but it's not like the King Arthur Carrousel has always been thematically pure.

If you're going to dedicate something in DL to Mary Poppins isn't a carousel horse about the most appropriate thing? I haven't seen up close pictures of the horse yet. Is the dedication something that really sticks out or more subtle so that most people wouldn't notice?

If the latter, I don't really see the issue. Disneyland rides are full of little tributes that don't technically fit the theming.
