Do you know the difference between a carousel and a merry-go-round? Carousels rotate counter clockwise and merry-go-rounds rotate clockwise. Learned that during "Walking in Walt's Disneyland Footsteps" tour yesterday. - MightyWhitey

I never knew that, cool! 😊 - MinnieMousewife 570.4 #194 9:34PM
Also, a carousel has only horses. A merry-go-round has horses and other animals - BaseballMickey_CM 2859.2 #16 9:34PM
I keep telling the hubby that being on MW is not a waste of time. This week I learned about a famous painter, the proper way to display a flag at night and the list goes on.😄 - RadiatorSprings4Ever 136.7 #2494 10:06PM
This will hopefully come in handy one day. - jjdq 326.7 #490 10:43PM
I have to write this down... - msdizmaui 519.0 #223 10:49PM
I learned it that carousels have horses, whoever merry-go-rounds have all sorts of animals. - flukefan 266.4 #861 11:37PM

Hmm, I was always told that a carousel has all horses and a merry-go-round has all kinds of animals. Interesting. - NotNKansasAnymor 174.5 #1934 1:58AM
Not true about carousels only having horses. The carousel in Balboa Park is over 100 yrs old and has all sorts of different animals. (And it has the brass ring game - fun!) - jmgphx 322.7 #511 9:21AM
Well King Triton's is called a carousel and certainly doesn't only have horses. - MightyWhitey 648.3 #165 10:01AM
