Cinderella's Carriage Question

Just wondering...it would be real nice to be able to see Cinderella's Carriage in Fantasyland...permanently. Or somehow have this worked into the Magic Kingdom on a regular basis.

Why isn't there anything paying homage to this vehicle??? I mean, the carriage is GORGEOUS; I really think it needs to be SOMEWHERE near the Castle or worked into Fantasyland somehow. Whether it be made of stone, or whatever, where is it???

Just for weddings? Or work the carriage into the Magic Kingdom somehow on a more permanent footing or schedule?

It's such a beautiful work of art and imagination. What do you think?

I think it would lose its "specialness" if it were out all the time.

It's not just for weddings... it's also out during every MNSSHP for photo ops.

I like that it's kind of sacred. Isn't she in the carriage for certain parades or am I thinking of something else?

The carriage is also used in the Christmas Parade for MVMCP. I like that it's only seen during special occassions TBH.

Folks pay a handsome fee to have it for their fairytale weddings. If they had two? Who gets the "real" one, and who gets the copy? If they took it away from Fairytale Weddings department altogether they might lose entire weddings, maybe a lot of them - I'm sure it's a key part of the fantasy, since it's been prominent in all their marketing since the beginning.

I agree! Totally!

From a fiscal standpoint, they make a boat-load on wedding rentals (which includes the white ponies and the footmen), so I can't see them making it something just anyone can see or sit in.

I would think their main concern would be the carriage being damaged if out regularly. I think it is better that it is used for special occasians, otherwise it would just be another attraction. We were lucky enough to take photos with it at MNSSHP a couple years ago.
