Sleeping Beauty Castle

Sleeping Beauty Castle is a fairy tale castle at the center of Disneyland. It is based on the late 19th century Neuschwanstein Castle in Bavaria, Germany. The castle features a working drawbridge and is loaded with cool details, including a design based on a real-life 19th-century Bavarian castle. Visitors can experience the 'Sleeping Beauty Castle Walkthrough,' where 3D dioramas display luminous images in the style of Eyvind Earle, the artist who created the look for the 1959 animated classic. The castle's design uses forced perspective, making it appear taller than it actually is. With its turquoise-tiled towers, golden turrets, and medieval-themed story book entrance, it's a must-see attraction for families
