What Do You Call The MK Castle?

[Afterthought]

We have been going to WDW countless times for many years. Yet one thing I have been doing incorrectly back as far as I can remember is saying the castle's name accurately.
For us, we usually just call it The Castle.

Hey look kids, there's the castle.
Fireworks start in an hour, we'd better make our way toward the castle.
Etc, etc and so on.

On rare occasion, one of us might say Cinderella's Castle, but usually it's just The Castle.

Even Cinderella's Castle is wrong, as the true name according to Disney is Cinderella Castle.

We know several other families who frequent WDW, yet have never heard anyone refer to it as Cinderella Castle.
Just the castle, or Cinderella's Castle.

So my question to this community is, do many of you refer to the castle by it's actual name? Asking out of curiosity.

Never knew it had a name. Called it Cinderella's Castle and dined at King Stefan's Banquet Hall.

I always just called it "the Castle". Never felt the need to do anything else. To my knowledge there is no other castle in MK, so being that specific never seemed necessary.

 

[WDWmazprty]

Nope. Definitely know that it's called Cinderella Castle, but just like other well known places or people, we don't use the proper name. It's easier to just use a nickname or other name that's more common or well known.

I just cut to the chase and call it Marvel Castle.

 

[JustAFan]

When we're around others in the park, we refer to it as 'the castle'. After everyone finally leaves for the night, we call it home.

 

[The Empress Lilly]

We call it Ezekiel.

So-- what is the name of the Beast's castle.

 

[JIMINYCR]

We either refer to it as Cindy’s Castle or just The Castle. Since it is the main focus looking up Main Street there’s no confusion on what we are talking about. When we talk about the other castle we say The Beast Castle.

Technically The Beast's Castle.

So-- what is the name of the Beast's castle.

The Beast's Castle is the only name given.

Technically The Beast's Castle.


The Beast's Castle is the only name given.

Plywood cutouts of castles less then 4' high do not count as actual castles. Although made of plastic the 3 dimensional one is the only one I recognize as valid and therefore "the Castle.

 

[Jrb1979]

I refer to it as the TP monument.

 

[jloucks]

We call it the Disney Castle, so we are way off.

 

[Afterthought]

Ironically when at Disneyland, we almost always say Sleeping Beauty Castle, which is it's proper name. I suppose because MK feels like home it's just the castle, and DL we visit out there far less often.

 

[Minthorne]

I call it too EARidescent.

 

[Worldlover71]

Was removing all the apostrophes a cost-saving measure?

"The Castle."

It would not be Cinderella's Castle, as even if The King had died, and Prince Charming became King Charming, Cinderella would be Queen Consort and have no ownership claim to the castle. So Cinderella Castle (not possessive) would be correct, since it is the castle associated with her.

 

[RSoxNo1]

Cinderella Castle, not Cinderella's Castle. That being said our family shortens things, we typically call it The Castle.

 

[Ayla]

I know its correct name is Cinderella Castle, but we have always called it The Castle.

I'd imagine 99% of people just call it 'the castle' much less of a mouthful than 'Cinderella castle'.
