We're moving back around the world, to Hong Kong
Disneyland's Fantasyland. Let's start with the Castle of Magical Dreams, Hong Kong's castle. This seems to be the first and only time that a Disney park replaced its centerpiece castle! The castle was originally Sleeping Beauty Castle, but was redesigned for the park's 15th anniversary in 2020.
HK's S
leeping Beauty Castle looked just like the one in Anaheim. But the Castle of Magical Dreams is
much more fantastical! According to the Hong Kong Disneyland website, the new castle was inspired by and intended to pay tribute to Disney Princesses and Queens "who overcame adversity to make their own dreams come true, inspiring all who dare to dream big"--Cinderella, Tiana, Aurora, Ariel, Mulan, Snow White, Moana, Merida, Belle, Rapunzel, Pocahontas, Jasmine, Anna, and Elsa. Because the castle was previously Sleeping Beauty's Castle, Aurora's is the highest tower in the new castle.
The castle contains a meet n greet area (the Royal Reception Hall) and a jewelry shop (Enchanted Treasures). Interestingly, HK Disneyland also offers an audio tour of the transformed castle, which park guests can access with a QR code on their smartphones.
Here's an article with facts about the new castle, including that it was built from pre-fabricated modules that were inserted into place--this construction method meant that the entire transformation was completed in about 3 months (after some 4 years of design and planning)!
