Overview
- Disneyland Paris confirmed Thursday that it will retire every horse that pulls Main Street, U.S.A. streetcars before the end of 2026.
- The park’s Percherons have pulled horse-drawn streetcars since Disneyland Paris opened in 1992 and the attraction still appears on the official site with promotional copy about ‘majestic Percheron’ horses.
- Disney has not announced relocation plans for the retired horses or any reuse or demolition plan for the Frontierland stable where they are kept.
- Fan reaction is split, with some saying retirement is kinder to the animals and others accusing the resort of cutting a nostalgic guest experience to save money.
- The move follows wider European reductions in live-animal entertainment and does not affect other Disney horse operations, such as those at Disneyland in California and Walt Disney World’s Tri-Circle-D Ranch.
