Cinderella Castle (WDW): 189 ft.
Sleeping Beauty Castle (DL): 75 ft.

Interestingly enough, Sleeping Beauty Castle in Hong Kong Disneyland is listed as 77 ft and Cinderella Castle at Tokyo Disneyland is about 190 ft (slightly taller).

Sleeping Beauty Castle at Disneyland Paris is 148 ft.

That's interesting to know! Thanks. Isn't there a certain limit that the castle in DW can be due to the FAA or something?

Anything over 200ft has to have a red blinking light for aviation safety.
You would think that one day they would do something really big and just work the flashing red light into the design.
Can you imaging if they did EE 50% taller?

Walt Disney World has a grand, inspiring castle, reaching to the heavens!
Disnland's castle is itty-bitty.

Need anyone know more? :lookaroun

They already have. Taken a look at the top of the Epcot wand lately? One of those flashing lights is an airplane beacon. :)

So then the wand is the tallest thing on Disney property? I remember always reading when Disney was building something new that they didn't go over 200' because of the red light. ToT is like 198' or 199', isn't it?

The only thing over 200'? One more reason for it to come down!

I don't know if the wand is 200 ft tall. But it is the tallest thing on WDW. MAybe if add like 10-20ft to the height of the Big Balls height then I think you get the height of the wand.

I believe the Dolphin still holds the record for the tallest structure on WDW property. I'm trying to find the exact number, but it's listed as 27 stories tall. At the average of 10 feet per story, that's at least 270 feet.

Also, Big Thunder is listed at 197 feet, which puts it as the tallest structure in the MK.
