Cinderella Castle

Disney's iconic palace

Cinderella Castle is the iconic structure at the center of Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom in Florida, serving as the park's visual symbol and main entrance to Fantasyland.

Standing 189 feet tall, it draws from the 1950 animated film and European castle architecture.

The name applies specifically to the Florida landmark; Disneyland's similar structure is Sleeping Beauty Castle.

We watched the fireworks from in front of Cinderella Castle.
