Cinderella’s Castle not to be confused with Sleeping Beauty’s Castle in Disney Land, was completed in 1971. The castle is located in the Fantasy Land portion of Magic Kingdom . The chief designer of the castle was Herbert Ryman, who also designed Sleeping Beauty’s Castle in Disney Land. In the upper levels of the castle there is a suite that was intended to serve as an apartment for Walt Disney and his family when they were visiting Florida. When Walt died years before the park opened, the apartment was left unfinished. In 2007 the suite was finished and an overnight stay was awarded to a random guest.

As someone who visits Disney World regularly, I never get tired of walking through Main Street USA and coming up to the castle. Every time I see the castle I am transported back to when I was six, looking at the castle for the very first time. I personally believe that Cinderella’s Castle helps Disney be the “Happiest Place on Earth”.
