sounds impressive.... and the ferry boat ride they mention seems similar to the concept of the swan boats from first read

I have been to all five of the Magic Kingdom and it looks like Disney is planning on making this not just something to take photos of, but to be a much more fun filled part of the park. Let's hope so

Wow that looks/sounds REALLY awesome!! I wish they could revamp WDW's castle to be an actual attraction and be more interactive.

While I love the sheer size and beauty of Cinderella castle, it's missing so much. The restaurant's nice...but just not enough. I absolutely loved being able to walk all through Sleeping Beauty castle in Disneyland...way more magical!

Here is a video of the new castle from the Disney Parks blog.

I like that they are trying to make this castle more functional, but I'm not liking the short boxy look of the outside. I guess in my mind castles are tall with spires that reach into the sky.

The picture on the Disney Parks blog with the boat ride looks like the boat in Willy Wonka.

I don't like that it breaks the idea of having the castle be a princess' home. I always thought it would've been cool to instead of having them all be either Sleeping Beauty or Cinderella castle, to have Snow White, Ariel, Belle, Jasmine, etc.
