The Importance of the Disney Park Castles

Each Disney Park around the world has its own castle. These are the central points for the parks, and there is a different landmark for each location. Some of them are connected to the local culture, while others are connected to specific fairy tales within the Disney universe.

They serve as a pinnacle of Disney. After all, when you see one of the castles pop up on Instagram, you know where the person is. There’s no need for names, characters, or any of the rides in the background.

The best part about them is that they are available to get inside at times. For example, the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique is inside the castles of the Disneyland Resort and Magic Kingdom at Disney World, giving children the chance to feel like a real princess (or knight!).

It all started with Disneyland Resort, where Walt Disney and his Imagineers created the Sleeping Beauty Castle, modeled to look like it would have been in Europe during the medieval period. It may be the smallest of the lot, but it is one of the most extravagant and memorable.

Then Walt Disney World opened in Florida. Instead of recreating Aurora’s castle, the team looked at another European castle. This time, it was Cinderella’s Castle. And when Tokyo opened up, it followed the guide and built another Cinderella’s Castle.

Disneyland Paris was the next to open, and it followed the route of Disneyland. Le Château de la Belle au Bois Dormant was constructed. In other words, it was the Sleeping Beauty Castle, creating something slightly more fantastical compared to the California location.

Shanghai and Hong Kong both opted for something that worked for their own locations, adding a sense of their culture to the castles. However, they still opted for a traditional Disney princess: Aurora. Both of the castles are recreations of the Sleeping Beauty Castle with their own unique styles.

Now it’s time to see them all and become a princess or prince of your dreams.
