  • I personally think that Sleeping Beauty’s Castle at Disneyland is the best out of all of them.

  • The Disneyland All Night Party gives you a chance to see and experience the lighting changes in the Sleeping Beauty Castle and other Disney Landmarks.

  • I have experienced seeing 3 castles in one day. Leaving Tokyo Disneylands Christmas Cinderella Castle, I flew backwards in time next to Disneyland’s Sleeping Beauty Castle in Christmas trim. Within the same day I flew ahead in time on to Walt Disney World and saw their Cinderrella Castle and Christmas show. I’m trying to figure out if i could add Paris Disneyland to my trip the next time.

    I agree! 🙂
