Castles question.....

[freediverdude]

I was just wondering, the castle in WDW is Cinderella's castle, correct? And then the castle in Disneyland CA is Sleeping Beauty's castle, right? And then I think somewhere I heard that the castle in Disneyland Paris is Belle's castle, is that correct? So, then, who's castle would be the one at Tokyo Disneyland? Ariel's? Jasmine's? And then it follows, who's castle is at the new Hong Kong Disneyland? Would this question be better on another board? I've just never heard the themes for the castles outside the US before.

Hi, I can only verify two: WDW is called Cinderalla Castle (not with an 's) and DL is Sleeping Beauty.

Don't know about the others, but that is interesting!

I've been told that the all of the castles except for WDW are considered to be Sleeping Beauty's. When I was at DLP in 2001, I saw nothing that mentioned it being Belle's. Maybe things have changed some.

Disneyland Paris's castle is Le Château de la Belle au Bois Dormant ... The Magnificent Castle of Sleeping Beauty.

And Disneyland Tokyo has Cinderella's Castle.

Ok, I've just searched through the various official Disney websites, and nzdisneymom is correct- Disneyland Paris' castle is another Sleeping Beauty castle, and Tokyo Disneyland's castle is another Cinderella castle. And, according to the Hong Kong Disneyland site, that park's castle is going to be yet a third Sleeping Beauty castle. So it appears that they're alternating between the two with each new park. Sigh...oh well, I thought it would have been fun if each new park's castle belonged to a different princess than all the others, making each part of the world a certain princess' home, but I guess that isn't their strategy.
