Okay, is the castle now smaller?

[CaliforniaDreamer]

It really looks that way. Another friend was there last week and also said the same thing.

 

[LeftCoaster]

Nope. It's the same castle as always.

Y'all might just be bigger

The castle is the same. Just painted brighter and all glitzey.

 

[CaliforniaDreamer]

Wow. While it's true we are all bigger I guess this is a case of white makes everything look larger. I'm going back to wearing black now.

This isn't the first time I've heard this question. I think the crowns on the castle are stopping people's eyes from going all the way up. It's still the same 77 feet from moat to the top of the tallest spire.

When they decorated Cinderella Castle for Walt Disney World's 25th Anniversary celebration, this same question came up. The castle looked smaller. I guess it was the loss of the forced perspective. Although Sleeping Beauty Castle isn't decorated up like a birthday cake, I guess the crowns/tiaras might make it look smaller.
