Disney World unveils the new Tri-Circle-D Ranch barn
The new barn for the horses at the Tri-Circle-D Ranch in Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground at Walt Disney World with plenty of space for play time and pony rides.
The barn is more than twice the size of the original barn with two tack rooms, a wedding harness room showcasing tack for Cinderella’s ponies and the return of the museum dedicated to Walt’s love of horses.
In addition, to the museum, the 1907 Dragon Calliope, a piece of Disney history has returned to the barn. Walt Disney purchased the horse-drawn musical wagon for Disneyland Park in the 1950s, and it is currently on display at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground.
The new stable, just around the corner from the bus loop by Pioneer Hall, features larger stalls for the horses, including 10 additional stalls – all equipped with automatic water stations.
Tri-Circle-D Ranch has a long history of housing “The Happiest Horses on Earth,” as it was part of Walt Disney’s vision to bring horses to Magic Kingdom Park much like he did in Disneyland. Tri-Circle-D Ranch was established before opening day of Walt Disney World Resort.
