When it comes to being Disney fans, there are some things that really just make our hearts sing.

Sleeping Beauty Castle at Disneyland

It might be the latest movie or even an old classic, or a brand-new ride that gets your adrenaline going. We’re lucky that we get to experience the magic of Disney every day, and we love being able to bring you along with us! We recently got the opportunity to go to an event that was all about Disney Princesses — so let’s check it out. 

We got to celebrate all things Disney Princesses at Disneyland recently and had SUCH a fun time! The event kicked off with us getting a sneak peek at some new Disney Princess souvenirs and merchandise that’s currently available to shop in stores and online.

Not only did we get to preview these merchandise items, but we also got to hear from some actual Disney Princesses and Legends! That’s right — we got to see and hear Paige O’Hara (Belle), Linda Larkin (Jasmine), Jodi Benson (Ariel), and Anika Noni Rose (Tiana) speak during the event.

Real princesses!

Next, we got to go on a tour of Sleeping Beauty Castle! The Sleeping Beauty Castle Walkthrough allows you to explore passageways where you can view Princess Aurora’s story through dioramas.

The dioramas are REALLY cool — they’re 3D and in typical Disney fashion feature sound and special effects. It’s a seriously underrated experience you should check out the next time you’re at Disneyland!

How cool are these dioramas?

To find the Sleeping Beauty Castle Walkthrough, head to the west side of the castle in Fantasyland, where you’ll see a storybook open to a page announcing the birth of Aurora. From there, you can follow along with the story!

Just look!

In the meantime, we’ll be keeping an eye on the latest and greatest Disney news and updates from coast to coast. Don’t forget to stay tuned to the Disney Food Blog for more!
