Jingles is the most famous horse on this opening day attraction, for one practically perfect reason.
It doesn’t have any magic powers. It doesn’t offer a better ride experience. So why are Disneyland fans always scrambling to be the first to ride Jingles, the most famous horse on King Arthur Carrousel? In short, because of Mary Poppins. Well, more specifically, because of Walt Disney and Julie Andrews. The carousel is historically significant to Disneyland: It’s an opening-day attraction, but more than that, a carousel inspired Walt to open the park in the first place.
Jingles became the Julie Andrews horse, dedicated to the Disney legend, in homage to the scene in “Mary Poppins” when Andrews rides a horse that’s broken free of the carousel. Now, artwork decorates her saddle: Mary’s iconic umbrella silhouette, the character’s curving boots, the number “50” and the initials “JA.” Andrews was on hand for the dedication, and was presented with a miniature replica of the horse.
