Which castle is the home of which Princess???

[ProfGoofy]

Quick castle question. I know that Princess Aurora (Sleeping Beauty) makes her home in Disneyland's castle and Cinderella makes her home in the Magic Kingdom (WDW) castle, but what about the Tokyo and Paris Disneylands? I've seen suggestions that Cinderella has also put down some roots at the Tokyo Disneyland castle, can someone confirm this? And what about the Paris Disneyland Castle, who is the tenant? Much thanks.

Paris is supposed to be Belle's Castle. I thought Disneyland was Snow White's castle, and Toyko was a copy of it.....?

Disneyland is Sleeping Beauty castle, and I do believe that is the same case at Tokyo Disneyland.

I just read last night that the DL castle was supposed to be Snow White's castle, but during construction/planning they changed it to Sleeping Beauty to tie in with the movie which I believe was released aroun the time DL opened in 1955.

And Cinderella's Royal Table used to be called King Stefan's Banquet Hall - King Stefan is Sleeping Beauty's father! That sure never made any sense ..... glad they changed the name of the restaurant!

The castle in Paris is also Sleeping Beauty's

"Le Château de la Belle au Bois Dormant"

Belle means Beauty
Bois menas forest
Dormant means sleeping

"The sleeping beauty of the forest"

Sleeping Beauty takes up residence in Paris. There's some leaded stain glass windows depicting the film inside the castle.

Cinderella resides in Tokyo's castle, and they have a Cinderella Mystery Tour. While I haven't seen it in person, pictures make it look EXACTLY like Disney World's Cinderella Castle.

I stand corrected on Paris. I was sure I read that it was Belle's from Beauty. Poor Snow White ~ she was the first Princess and is still without a home!!
