2 . While anyone can enter the 189-foot Cinderella’s Castle at Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Florida to shop or eat, Disney allows only a very lucky few to stay overnight in its Cinderella Suite, which sits at the top of the clock tower.
If you’ve ever wondered what it feels like to be a Disney Princess, CNBC Make It got a first look with “The Bucket List Family”. Garrett and Jessica Gee and their two young children, 5-year-old daughter, Dorothy, and 3-year-old son, Manilla, slept in Cinderella’s quarters for the night. They were guests of Disney as part of their “30 stays in 30 days” blogging series. Here’s a look inside.
To get into the suite, you open a large wooden door on the ground floor of the castle and enter a Gothic-style room where a 24-hour concierge (看门人) is there to attend to any needs you may have. You’re then accompanied into a small elevator that resembles the pumpkin coach Cinderella took to the ball. It opens directly into the suite.
Walking into the suite feels like you’re walking into a real castle. In the bedroom area, the two beds have carved wood frames and are made up with rich-looking linen. Stained glass windows tell a visual story of Cinderella’s journey from an unloved maid to a princess. “Depending on the window, you could look out and see Fantasyland or Main Street,” Jessica says. “It was fun waking up in the morning and seeing people coming into the park.” Behind a glass case are Cinderella’s glass slippers and her crown. Even the bathroom is fit for a princess. Two additional guests can sleep in the living room, which includes a “magic TV” that functions as both a mirror and an entertainment system. In a box behind the couch is a telescope so you can look out and see the different Disney characters walking through the park below. “Our favorite part”, Jessica tells CNBC Make It, “was watching the firework show in front of the castle and then when it was over, walking right into the castle up to the suite for the night.”
But don’t reach for your credit card just yet. The suite, which offers guests a chance to stay in the center of Magic Kingdom, is by invitation only. Reportedly, Disney has turned down large sums from people eager to stay. When asked to describe the overall experience, Jessica, a lifelong Disney fan, says it was amazing.
