Sleeping Beauty Castle Walkthrough at Disneyland
Relive one of the most beloved Disney legends as you stroll through the iconic Sleeping Beauty Castle. Wander the winding passageways where the timeless tale of Princess Aurora and the evil Maleficent has been brought to life in 3-dimensional displays. Inspired by the original Eyvind Earle artwork used in the film, the classic attraction has been enhanced with fantastical features and stunning special effects.
Sleeping Beauty's Winter Castle
With snow-capped turrets, sparkling icicles and shimmering lights, the original Disney theme park castle is a crystallized citadel to behold during Holidays at the Disneyland Resort. For generations families have gathered below the steeples of Sleeping Beauty's Winter Castle to bask in its Holiday wonder.
History
Sleeping Beauty Castle opened on July 17, 1955. The castle's design was based on the real Bavarian castle, Neuschwanstein. Guests could not actually walk through the castle until 1957. The famed drawbridge has only been used twice — once at the opening of the park in 1955 and again in 1983 at the rededication of Fantasyland.
