Hong Kong Disneyland Resort is launching its 15th anniversary celebration with the opening of the reimagined ‘Castle of Magical Dreams‘ on November 21.
The Castle of Magical Dreams is inspired by 13 Disney Princesses and features towers and spires with iconic patterns, textures, colours and ornamentation.
Featuring on the castle are Tiana (The Princess and the Frog), Aurora (Sleeping Beauty), Ariel (The Little Mermaid), Merida (Brave), Belle (Beauty and the Beast), Rapunzel (Tangled), and Jasmine (Aladdin).
To celebrate, the resort invited guests and cast members to share their dreams and wishes on ‘magical dream cards’, which were collected in a treasure chest.
The chest was lifted to the top of the tallest tower in the reimagined castle, which will be a living centrepiece of Hong Kong Disneyland.
