1. No, actually the one in CA is Sleeping Beauty Castle (also Paris and Hong Kong), Cinderella’s at WDW and Tokyo.

2. There are different castles at different parks? I had no idea.

   1. It was actually quite intentional — a desire to have the two (at the time) parks be different. Same reason why Toon Town is in Anaheim but Orlando has Toon Town Fair.

      Difficult to explain the other duplicates in that context, but there it is.

3. Clearly you’ve lived a deprived life! The Sleeping Beauty castles are a little shorter and squatter, especially the central turrets. And the color schemes are not the same at the different parks. I have way too much time on my hands… Time to watch some more UFO.

   1. Oh, I’m aware there are differences in the castles between parks. I just lose track between Anaheim and Orlando which princess owns which.

      I need to borrow your UFO DVDs some time. I have a hankering to watch that show again.

4. Just to make it more confusing, when the park first opened, the restaurant in Cinderella Castle was named “King Stephan’s Royal Banquet Hall”…. King Stephan was Sleeping Beauty’s father. (It’s now named Cinderella’s Gala Feast, fwiw)

   1. Ha! Nice.

      Irksome: half the time we were at the MK, the front doors of the castle were closed so that Big Public Things could be done on the set pieces in front of same. Basically hobbled WD’s hub concept.
