A different view of the frontside of Sleeping Beauty's Castle. The detailing on the top is absolutely stunning ✨
Which is actually the front side, facing Fantasyland, right? - MelodyMouse

Indeed. :) my bad.
I get mixed up which side it which.
So it is the side facing fantasyland - PrincessMacy 503.0 #236 9:06PM
Yeah well, Uncle Walt started the mixup by flipping the top part of the model so the back was the front in the first place! - MelodyMouse 941.9 #92 9:20PM

After watching the video of them building it, I think it's very cool to look at this pic and see the Chapel in there. I never noticed it before - Missshelly

Did you know that the gold trimming is ACTUAL GOLD so that it sparkles even during cloudy days! - elmickeyman

"To make the castle spires sparkle, Walt Disney wanted them plated with 22-karat gold. His brother, Roy, was opposed. So Walt sent him away on a business trip and had it done while he was gone!
One of the spires on the castle was not plated in gold, like the others. I was told that Walt Disney did this to serve as a reminder of his famous quote that Disneyland would never be completed as long as there was imagination left in the world." Found this info from Sleeping Beauty Castle Fun Facts!!! - caramiapoohAKAface 1449.5 #54 5:18PM
