Does anyone remember a long time ago when Excalibur could actually be pulled out of the stone in Fantasyland? I remember seeing it once when I was a little kid and wishing that could have been me. I'm sure the sword can still be removed, I just don't know if it's still done. I also know the release mechanism is hidden someplace near the sword-but I've never been able to track it down.

I saw a kid pull the sword out of the stone last night. First time I saw it. Of course a bunch of people tried right after and couldn't do it. That being said, please leave the Disney magic alone. - ScooterMike  1959.8 #37 9:37AM
Scootermike- no intention of disturbing the magic, but I am a trivia hound that loves to know how things work. That to me is the magic. - Firelt  221.4 #1369 4:25PM
Magicians never give away their secrets. That's why it's magic. - ScooterMike  1959.8 #37 4:54PM
Unfortunately, people will want to find out about it an mess it up for the rest. - splashphotoCM  881.4 #104 4:55PM
Very true Mike! - ohhhtoodles  365.2 #396 5:41PM
I would highly advise you to not find that mechanism. It is for cast member use only, and you could get kicked out or possibly banned for doing so. I'd rather just use my immense strength to yank it out without any outside help :) - Slotherini  911.7 #100 8:50AM
how many times has this "immense strength" pulled out excalibur? - Radius  502.3 #239 8:53AM
I'm not telling. - Slotherini  911.7 #100 8:54AM
I don't want to make everyone jealous. - Slotherini  911.7 #100 8:54AM
haha - Radius  502.3 #239 9:03AM
💪 slotherini 💪 - Duchess_SMK  3550.5 #10 9:42AM
Absolutely. I've ripped off a license plate before. (physically taken off, not ripped off as in stolen) - Slotherini  911.7 #100 4:48PM
Ripped off after unscrewing it? - BCC  4656.6 #5 4:51PM
Shhhhhhhh - Slotherini  911.7 #100 4:53PM
I was there when he pulled it out with his immense strength, that's why he talks with the helium voice. lol - splashphotoCM  881.4 #104 4:58PM
Immense height = immense strength. - Mouse4life  1086.2 #78 3:13PM
What is this mechanism you speak of? The only way to pull the sword out of this stone is a king... "Whoso Pulleth Out This Sword of this Stone and Anvil, is Rightwise King Born of England." Everybody knows that ;) - gigibunny2  242.7 #1099 4:34PM
I wouldn't use it, I just have an immense curiosity and want to know where it is. - Firelt  221.4 #1369 8:55AM
Just looking out for a fellow MWer :) - Slotherini  911.7 #100 8:57AM
My son was chosen a couple times! We still have the medals that Merlin gave him! - Mickeymouse28  349.1 #427 9:19AM
yes, and we have seen his photos of his coronation - toph  2406.7 #26 9:29AM
My son was able to do that many yrs ago they gave him a medal and a award it was awesome - OFFWITHYOURHEAD  104.7 #3015 9:48AM
My son was able to pull it out too. He was given a certificate stating he was king for the day. He loved it. - jjdq  326.7 #505 10:37AM
Little Hidden did it this summer. It was awesome to watch!! - SueBayou  2012.0 #35 4:33PM
What the heck is a mechanism?! - BCC  4656.6 #5 4:39PM
Ya know .. A thing a ma gig, do hickey etc... - SueBayou  2012.0 #35 4:41PM
I think it is magic spelled incorrectly. ;) - LisaMouse7531  409.4 #325 4:53PM
^ LOL - cesium55  531.2 #220 3:17PM
I don't like my Mechanic. - vincentchase  646.0 #172 4:53PM
Cuz he's not Charles Bronson - cesium55  531.2 #220 3:18PM
Okay, so from what I gather it is still done, I just have not seen it. Great! Now, how do I get my grandson to be the one that pulls the sword from the stone? - Firelt  221.4 #1369 3:07PM
Have him stand in line all day and try a bunch of times and really have him try hard and hopefully it will be his "night" to pull it out!! - secretagentangel  710.6 #143 3:16PM
Yeah, that's great advise for a 5 year old. I'll get right on that. - Firelt  221.4 #1369 5:33PM
In 1990 while at the park, Merlin came into the audience and chose my 8 yr old son to pull the sword from the stone. After several tries he did it. They named him king of Dland for the day, took him to city hall and presented him with a button and a certificate pronouncing him king for the day! It was amazing! - ckphoto  223.5 #1339 3:13PM
Only the rightful king of England can do it. Don't mess with the powers of the Lady of the Lake. - cesium55  531.2 #220 3:18PM
Only the wort can pull the sword from the stone. - splashphotoCM  881.4 #104 7:34PM
