Does anyone know the names of the horses that 'pull' the street cars? My daughter has the 'I drove the horse drawn streetcar' sticker but I forget the horses name and I'm sure I'd know it if I read it.

I do know if the horse has, uh, digestive issues, the CM will lie, or at least feign ignorance, in response to a child's question. Seriously, though, they only work 4 hour shifts, and there are probably a few.

Cheers.

Do they let kids drive the horse drawn cars on a regular basis? I never thought to ask!

I don't know if its really common, but if they have a sticker for it, it must be.
My daughter wanted so badly to just ride the street car- but I had a stroller etc. and a 1 year old and I was at Disneyland by myself with both kids for the day. I dreaded the idea of packing it all up to go for a ride. So the girls on the carriage said my 5 year old could go with them for one trip around main st. and the hub- BY HERSELF. Yeah, I was nervous but they assured me that they wouldn't let her get off and that she could ride in the very front with them. That was the highlight of my daughters day. Me, well, I thought I might need blood pressure medication and a psychiatrist for letting her out of my sight at disneyland!

Chip was the horse the day I rode. (Sunday May 7th, early AM). They had a huge name tag in the street car for him.
