Hey guys. While I've only really experienced DL's and WDW's castles up close I have to say that Sleeping Beauty's holds a special place in my heart :? . With Cinderella's castle you get a great sightseeing spot with the tile murals, (or at least you did), and also King Stephan's Dining Hall, (or at least you used to). With SB's you get a walk-through attraction, two craft shops, and Snow White's Grotto, (so does that make it two princesses for te price of one?). And of course there's always the nostalgia fator that can only be found at DL. Well, that's my two cents. Until next time, peace.

I really like both castles. Cinderella's has that 'wow' factor where seeing its amazing size and grandeur is awe-inspiring (especially when seen from afar, like from the monorail). We really like taking pictures of Cinderella's castle with only the castle in the pic.

SB's castle can't be seen seeping into the clouds like Cinderella's castle, but has an 'awww' factor where our favorite castle pictures with the family in it are the ones in front of SB's castle.

I'll admit a hometown bias for Sleeping Beauty Castle - it's the first and sweetest. It also, might I add, it rumored to house a population of feral cats that help keep the rat problem at DL in check. So much more interesting than a mere restaurant!
