Cinderella Castle

#cherryblossom2024 Cinderella Castle has 29 towers, and if you look up at the castle from Fantasyland, you can see 21 stained glass made of Italian glass. In the passage on the first floor of the castle, there are 5 mosaic murals of Italian glass that show the famous scene of the arched Cinderella, which is 4.6 meters long and 3 meters wide. In this mural, designed by Dorothea Redmond of Walt Disney Imaginering, the faces of Disney's leading designers such as John Hench and Herb Lyman appear as characters. Also, there is a part where real jewelry was used. The crest of the Disney house is decorated at the top of the front entrance of the passage and the top of the entrance on the Fantasyland side. In addition, the castle of Sleeping Beauty in Disneyland in Anaheim, California is also decorated with the same crest, but the crest of the Disney family that exists in history is a completely different design. In Cinderella Castle, like other Disney theme park architecture, reinforced perspective is used, such as the stone wall gradually getting smaller towards the top, and the size of the windows and doors gradually getting smaller. These are to make the castle look higher than the actual height, and they are originally a technology often used in movie sets. The golden tower at the highest place is inspired by the architecture of castles and temples in Europe such as France. Walt Disney liked the small golden tower he set up when he built the castle of Sleeping Beauty in Anaheim, so when he designed Cinderella Castle, the designer adopted it as the most prominent tower. In Tokyo, it was painted silver for a while.
