I have known for a couple of months now that Merlin is coming back this summer for the first time in several years and will be doing daily sword in the stones shows once again in Fantasyland... I wasn't allowed to say anything but since this was posted I thought it was ok to do so..I told admin about it a long time ago, he can verify the news I told him months ago and that I am not just making this up because of this event...based on the timing I have an idea of what they were doing there and why....truly a magical moment for those kids and cant wait this summer for more kids to get the sword pulled out of the stone - Dave 8824.1 #2 4-4-12 10:30AM
that is so awesome! I'm not gonna tell mads since she tries every visit to pull the sword out, it would freak her out if it actually came out! I'm at work laughing thinking about it lol! - madsdad 1244.5 #65 4-4-12 10:31AM
ah very cool thanks for sharing dave, i can't wait to pull out the sword this summer to claim the lumpia kingdom forever. - chris. 2507.8 #25 4-4-12 10:32AM
Yaaaay! I was so sad when they stopped doing the shows. It seemed like a waste of the sword mechanism. Glad it's coming back. - BettyPoop 232.5 #1231 4-4-12 10:34AM
That's so awesome! I can't wait to see the look on the kids faces when the sword is actually pulled out. Thanks for the news Dave! 😄 - Aurora_2020 257.8 #944 4-4-12 10:35AM
woo hoo cannot wait for this to come back, loved it as a kid - Villescas8 592.9 #189 4-4-12 10:36AM
you have to remember that not every kid gets to pull it out. its a ceremony where Merlin chooses a kid to pull it out during several shows throughout the day - Dave 8824.1 #2 4-4-12 10:37AM

wow! what happened afterwards? how exciting and memorable - MaidMiriam304.4 #604 4-4-12 12:42AMLike Reply
It went back in and we all celebrated! Then more kids tried - ladylikesdisney 926.7 #96 4-4-12 12:45AM
I did this when I was younger! I got a medal and a certificate. It was when they had Merlin out there doing a show for it. I still remember doing it and that was at least 15 years ago! Merlin would come around with a Y shaped stick and it would "magically" point to whoever was meant to pull the sword out of the stone. - kayceeb143.5 #2436 4-4-12 12:43AMLike Reply
This is nuts! I want to know the story here! - cynDOLEwhip745.3 #138 4-4-12 12:51AMLike Reply
There really is no story. We were walking past, heard an odd noise, and saw a kid pull it out. Then we saw another kid do it immediately after and so we stopped and watched and filmed and celebrated and had our lives completed - ladylikesdisney 926.7 #96 4-4-12 12:56AM
So Merlin wasn't there during this whole thing? That's weird, I've never seen the Sword come out without Merlin present. - splashphotoCM881.2 #104 4-4-12 12:54AMLike Reply
Was there even a noticible CM around? This is just crazy... And after midnight at that! - cynDOLEwhip 745.3 #138 4-4-12 12:56AM
There was a group of CMs but we couldn't really figure out who exactly was doing it - ladylikesdisney 926.7 #96 4-4-12 12:59AM
That is so cool to see again.. been 20 years for me :) Got to watch in complete jealousy as my 8 year old sister got to pull the sword out during the full gig with Merlin and a mini parade! - TheBudd357.3 #406 4-4-12 1:15AMLike Reply
I know the feeling!!! My little sis got picked too!!! I was sooooo jealous!!! - caramiapoohAKAface 1526.8 #53 4-4-12 1:19AM
This is awesome! I don't remember seeing this as a kid so seeing it this summer would be a dream come true - iamdugsmaster762.3 #132 4-4-12 10:49AMLike Reply
