Enchanted Storybook Castle
Enchanted Storybook Castle is the centrepiece of Shanghai Disneyland. According to Shanghai Disney Resort, it is the tallest, largest and most interactive castle Disney has ever built, and the only one dedicated to all the Disney princesses.
The concept
All over the castle, the princesses' stories come to life. Mosaics depict the four seasons with the stories of Tiana, Merida, Rapunzel, Elsa and Anna. The tallest spire is a cascade of Disney stars topped with a golden peony, a flower that represents China. More Chinese elements have been incorporated too, symbolising harmony, prosperity and a pure heart.
The Experience
There's plenty to do in and around the castle. Inside you walk through “Once Upon a Time” Adventure and beneath it you sail on Voyage to the Crystal Grotto. At Royal Banquet Hall you dine among princesses, at Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique children get a princess makeover and at Castle Encounters Boutique you meet Disney royalty. The shows and the evening show take place in front of the castle.
