Believe it or not, the first Disney castle was not the famous Cinderella Castle that likely comes to mind if you live in the eastern half of the United States. More than a decade and a half before Cinderella Castle sprung from the swampy grounds of Orlando, Walt Disney himself oversaw the construction of Sleeping Beauty Castle in Anaheim at Disneyl...
Easily the most iconic Disney Castle, this staple of Magic Kingdom is significantly larger than its Sleeping Beauty predecessor at Disneyland. Despite being much larger than Sleeping Beauty Castle, Cinderella Castle still uses forced perspective to appear even larger. Over the years, Cinderella Castle has seen several temporary and longer-lasting m...
Having seen the success of the Disney model in the US, Oriental Land Company approached Disney to build a similar theme park experience in Tokyo Bay. But forget the concept of a unique castle after another princess (sorry, Snow White); they wanted a copycat of the majestic Cinderella Castle. This proved to be a good thing for Disney, as the timing ...
France had roughly 45,000 castles before the opening of Disneyland Paris (then Euro Disney), so Disney had some big glass slippers to fill when building its first European castle. The name of the castle translates to “the castle of the beauty in the sleeping woods.” Calling it “Cinderella Castle” certainly would’ve been less of a mouthful (and Cind...
Tokyo was not alone in pining for the Cinderella Castle of Magic Kingdom. Hong Kong designers also wanted to get their hands on this iconic castle design. But what they got? A replica of the original Sleeping Beauty Castle in Anaheim. 1. Built: 2005 2. Inspired by: Neuschwanstein Castle in Bavaria and Chenonceau Castle in France (and Sleeping Beaut...
Rather than replicate Disney’s formula for success, Bob Weiss, president of Walt Disney Imagineering, designed Shanghai Disney Resort to be different, with no Main Street, no Frontierland, and no copycat Disney castle. In fact, Imagineers decided to go for the biggestcastle of any Disney Park but also make it feel like a “cozy home.” On top of that...
You may have heard the Disney castles and icons like the Tree of Life and Spaceship Earth, called “weenies.” That’s a term coined by Walt Disney himself? But why weenies, Walt? Why? Walt used to entice his beloved dog with hot dogs (adorably referred to as “weenies”). He wanted his castles and other park icons to do the same: entice crowds into the...

- Disneyland Paris. The Disney Castle at Disneyland Paris is Le Chateau De La Bella Au Bois Dormant! This Castle, which I will refer to as Le Chateau, is a bigger and better version of Sleeping Beauty’s Castle at Disneyland California.
- Tokyo Disneyland. Tokyo Disneyland is home to the second Cinderella’s Castle (the first can be found at Magic Kingdom). Since Tokyo Disneyland’s Cinderella’s Castle and Magic Kingdom’s Cinderella’s Castle are really similar, they are ranked back-to-back on my list with Tokyo Disneyland pulling ahead due to guest interaction points!
- Magic Kingdom. Magic Kingdom, located at Walt Disney World Resort, is home to the original Cinderella’s Castle! This Disney Castle is massive, beautiful, and iconic.
- Disneyland Shanghai. The Disney Castle located at Disneyland Shanghai is the Enchanted Storybook Castle. This massive and stunning Disney Castle is the newest Disney Castle around the world and maybe that is why I hold it to a higher standard than some of the original Disney Castles.
