All About Cinderella's Castle
Cinderella's Castle is located in Disney World, which is in Florida. There are other versions of this castle in the Disney parks but this is the one I've seen hundreds of times. This is the one that I still get a shiver up my spine when it comes into view. Getting a glimpse of the Castle is like a dream come true for me and many other people who have traveled from all over the world or right down the road to visit Walt Disney World.
I hope to tell you about this unofficial landmark in the US, the ins and outs, the rumors that are and aren't true and share how you can enjoy this beautiful piece of architecture for not only how it looks but for what it represents.

Well it was a planned mistake. The restaurant located on the second floor of the castle was originally named King Stephan's Banquet Hall. Now who is King Stephan? He is actually Sleeping Beauty's father. Since there were no "royal" names associated with the Cinderella story, Disney took the liberty to use this name.It was officially changed to it's current name - Cinderella's Royal Table in 1997. The breakfast is one of the most difficult meals to make a priority seating because it's one of the most popular. Girls love to dress up in their princess costumes and meet the Disney Princesses while the adults take photos and eat quickly.
