Did You Know?

The drawbridge to Sleeping Beauty’s Castle really works. It’s been raised only twice: once on opening day, and once in the l980's when Fantasyland reopened.

Here is a great photo of Walt walking thru the castle before the park opened for the day.  Sleeping Beauty's Castle is actually flipped.  The front of the castle is actually on the side of Fantasyland.

The crest above the entrance to Fantasyland is the Disney family coat of arms. 

The castle itself is open to visitors.  Inside you will find the Sleeping Beauty story displayed in many animated panaramas.
