Cinderella 城堡 and Wishing Well
I've written many posts about the various attractions in 迪士尼 theme parks based around the films I've been watching. Some have been prominent rides such as Snow White's Scary Adventure 或者 Pinocchio's Daring Journey. Others have been obscure areas such as the Fantasia golfing attraction 或者 ephemeral like Bambi's presence in the parks. Some have merely been meet and greets.
Cinderella, however, is a film whose impact on 迪士尼 theme parks is huge. It forms, after all, the centre-piece of 迪士尼 World itself - Cinderella's Castle; a massive structure visible for miles around the Magic Kingdom and the hub of the theme park. Cinderella's 城堡 is also the 城堡 at the centre of Tokyo Disneyland. Although Cinderella's 城堡 is replaced 由 other princess's abodes in the other parks, this central 城堡 图标 is key to Disney's image.
Cinderella's 城堡 is an impressive and emotional sight for many visiting 迪士尼 World. It's iconic white and blue colouring stands out as guests walk down main 街, 街道 and dominates the Fantasyland area. Because the front of the 城堡 hosts the staging area for many of the high 个人资料 shows and because of its importance to the nightly fireworks show, it is possible for some guests to not actually walk through the 城堡 on their way to Fantasyland. If visitors do, they are greeted 由 a series of mosaics on the walls of the passageway through. These depict the story of Cinderella. Oddly, though, the style is reminiscent of Renaissance art and is much 更多 like the style of Disney's Sleeping Beauty than it is Cinderella. They are beautiful though. The passageway also hosts the entrance to an exclusive area of 迪士尼 World, Cinderella's 城堡 Suite. This is a luxurious suite that guests can stay in, themed around Cinderella. The detailing is exquisite but it isn't somewhere that many guests get to visit, let alone stay in. A stay in the suite is 由 invitation only.
Near 灰姑娘 城堡 is Cinderella's Wishing Well. The Wishing Well reflects the theming seen in Cinderella's 城堡 Suite with a large C and the metalwork and carvings depicting the birds and mice familiar from the film. It is situated in a small, secluded patio area with a bench for resting your feet and soaking in a view of the 城堡 towering above. It's a beautiful spot.
The Tokyo Disneyland version of Cinderella's 城堡 is a near replica of its Florida counterpart, right down to the mosaics. However, it also hosts the entrance to a walkthrough attraction - Cinderella's Fairy Tale Hall. Prior to that, it hosted a similar attraction: 灰姑娘 城堡 Mystery Tour - both of which I'll examine 更多 in separate posts.
Through the years, Cinderella's 城堡 has been redressed for various events including as a giant birthday cake and covered in toilet paper, ostensibly at the hand of Stitch. But whatever it looks like, whether as the sun rises in the morning as guests enter the park 或者 lit up 由 fireworks, with 迪士尼 characters projected across it's surface at the nightly shows, the 灰姑娘 城堡 will remain one of 迪士尼 World's most iconic attractions.
Cinderella's Fairy Tale Hall
In 2011, a new attraction opened inside the 灰姑娘 城堡 at Tokyo Disneyland. Formerly the area had been host to the 灰姑娘 城堡 Mystery Tour which featured elements from a number of different 迪士尼 films and focussed quite heavily on the villains. I'll look at that attraction, briefly, in another post. The current attraction, however, is 100% Cinderella.
Cinderella's Fairy Tale Hall is a walkthrough attraction. Guests are welcomed into a lift 由 cast members dressed as page boys. The lift is simply decorated with pale colours. On stopping, guests emerge into a large antechamber, the walls of which, on one side, 熊 artwork depicting the prologue of 灰姑娘 including familiar 图片 such as Lady Tremaine, along with 真假公主 and Drizella looking down on 灰姑娘 and her father. On the other wall, we see 灰姑娘 in her life of servitude to her stepfamily - one picture has a great depiction of my personal favourite character, Lucifer, after he has just put muddy pawprints all over Cinderella's freshly-washed floor; his expression is priceless. Each picture has a short passage telling the story (in both English and Japanese).
Leaving this chamber through a curtained doorway, guests advance down a short passage (passing under a simple chandelier), through another curtained doorway and into a larger, hexagonal room with a beautiful blue ceiling. A stained glass window lets natural light into the room and on some of the walls are small displays of scenes from Cinderella. What's odd about these, is that they 熊 no relation to the style 或者 depiction of characters from the 迪士尼 film. Rather they seem like various artists interpretations of elements of the story, such as 灰姑娘 sitting with Jaq and Gus (neither of whom look anything like their movie counterparts). One display is based 更多 closely on the film and this one shows the mice and birds creating Cinderella's 粉, 粉色 dress for the ball. This display is really rather sweet with a mechanism which allows bluebirds to fly around the dress with swirling ribbons whilst Jaq and Gus moving up and down on threads either side. It's a lovely 3D representation of a fun scene from the film.
A 秒 hexagonal room continues to hold small displays in varying styles, including one rather sombre piece depicting the fairy godmother and a kneeling 灰姑娘 and a sharp, angular piece 展示 灰姑娘 arriving at the ball. A third display, again matching the original's film artwork as with the dress scene, uses mirrors to 显示 the fairy godmother transforming Cinderella, the 南瓜 and mice into her beautiful dress and horse-drawn carriage.
A third hexagonal room continues the story in small displays, including one 展示 the Prince and 灰姑娘 twirling around the dance floor (with the King and Duke watching from above) and a piece of metallic sculpture 展示 灰姑娘 trying on the glass slipper.
Visitors then 移动 into yet another room, this one adorned with huge paintings of scenes not seen in the film such as 灰姑娘 arriving at the palace after the slipper fit her foot and then being crowned 由 the King. There are also depictions of the closing wedding scene from the film including a wedding party painting with the Prince and 灰姑娘 in the middle, flanked 由 the King and Duke on one side and the Fairy Godmother and mice on the other. This room leads into a larger, even 更多 impressive chamber with a higher vaulted ceiling, impressive chandelier and curtained alcoves around the room. Against one 墙 stands a canopy and a 王座, 宝座 for guests to sit in and have photos. There's also a small 粪便, 凳子 in front of which sits a glass slipper to try your luck on.
Most intriguing in this room are a couple of paintings which have hidden 图片 in them which, apparently, only appear if 你 take a photograph of them - the hidden image will appear in your photograph.
After this room, guests exit back into the park.
Visiting Tokyo Disneyland is a bit of a pipe dream for my wife and I but if we're lucky one 日 I'll get to visit Cinderella's Fairy Tale Hall. It looks beautiful and as 灰姑娘 has become a 迪士尼 film for which I have a bit of a newfound appreciation, its an attraction I think I'll enjoy. I also like the fact it's walkthrough meaning that, within reason, 你 can take your time to absorb all the details unlike the rides such as Snow White's Scary Adventure 或者 Pinocchio's Daring Journey where details whip past so quickly 你 don't have time to appreciate them.
Prince Charming Regal Carrousel
Who doesn't 爱情 a carousel? The classic fairground ride which I'm sure everyone has ridden at some point in their life. Painted 马 rise up and down as the carousel spins elegantly around. 街, 街道 organ versions of familiar songs play as the carousel turns and turns.
Walt 迪士尼 World's version of the carousel is no different. Formerly known as Cinderella's Golden Carrousel, it is now named after her husband - Prince Charming Regal Carrousel.
What is kind of sweet is that the ride hasn't just been renamed - the Imagineers have invented a whole new backstory for the attraction:
“Following their fairy-tale romance and happily-ever-after wedding, 灰姑娘 and Prince Charming took up residence in Cinderella’s Castle. With peace throughout the kingdom, Prince Charming had time to practice for jousting tournaments. In the countryside near the castle, he built a training device of carved horses, on which he could practice the art of ring-spearing, a tournament event in which a knight rides his horse full speed, lance in hand, toward a small ring hanging from a 树 limb, with the object of spearing the ring. This event was known 由 various names throughout the lands, but generally came to be called ‘carrousel.'
The carrousel device drew the attention of the villagers, who wanted to take a turn on this amazing spinning contraption. So Prince Charming had a 秒 carrousel constructed closer to the Castle, where everyone could take a spin on this wondrous invention. Instead of a working knight’s training device, however, this new carrousel is 更多 befitting its regal location in the 城堡 Courtyard – its rustic training 马 replaced with ornately decorated prancing steeds adorned with golden helmets and shields, 花 garlands, feathers and other festoons. Prince Charming invites one and all to test their horsemanship skills and to enjoy their own happy ending.”
The carousel is beautifully decorated. The 马 have a variety of colour schemes: reds, blues, yellows, oranges, greens. The central column is decorated in a diamond pattern, with mirrors reflecting the guests astride their steeds. Lights run along the edges of the carousel's roof.
Around the outside of the roof are painted scenes from the story of Cinderella.
The carousel itself is housed with a wider, medieval tent-like structure topped with flags and a large cone structure in the centre.
This carousel ride has existed at the park, in various forms, from pretty much the beginning making it one of the oldest attractions at 迪士尼 World.
In Tokyo Disneyland, 城堡 Carrousel is a very similar ride, including similar decoration and the 灰姑娘 图片 around the 最佳, 返回页首 of the attraction. At Hong Kong Disneyland there is yet another iteration of the ride named, rather bluntly, 灰姑娘 Carousel. The tent structure covering of this ride is slightly different to the other two - it lacks the cone structure at it's centre, but it also includes scenes from 灰姑娘 around the roof and similar decorations on the ride.
There's not a lot else to say about this classic ride apart from the fact that it will always be a ride we spend time on, as my daughter loves a carousel. Simple and unthrilling it may be, but it's a classic and a mainstay of the parks - even those without a 'Cinderella' version still have carousels at the 心 of Fantasyland.
Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique
The Fairy Godmother from Cinderella, is also a quite prominent figure at a number of locations. She is the 'owner' of the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique. There are a number of boutiques at different locations including 迪士尼 World, 迪士尼 Springs, Disneyland, Tokyo Disneyland, Hong Kong Disneyland and Shanghai Disneyland. There's even a boutique available on the 迪士尼 Wonder cruise ship.
At the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique, girls can become princesses and boys can become knights. The Fairy Godmother's 'fairy godmother's in training' transform girls with pretty dresses, hair and make-up and a scattering of glitter (all for a pretty price...).
Whilst I imagine this is a 流行的 attraction for girls, I'm not convinced as many boys would opt for the 'be a knight' package.
Dressing up will always be 流行的 with boys and girls, though, and despite the hefty $200 price tag for the full package, I'm sure this attraction is usually busy.
It's not an attraction I ever think we'll partake in, simply for the fact that the extra price on 最佳, 返回页首 of what is already an expensive holiday, makes this very unappealing.
Cinderella's Royal Table
Cinderella's Royal 表 is an expensive 表 service restaurant located inside the 灰姑娘 城堡 at 迪士尼 World. It's the sort of restaurant that 你 need to reserve well ahead of your visit and involves paying up front for 你 to then choose, on the day, from various set menus (depending on if 你 are eating breakfast, lunch 或者 dinner).
Before entering the restaurant itself, 你 will be received 由 灰姑娘 herself in the grand hall. The building looks and feels like a medieval castle/cathedral with high, vaulted ceilings, archways and wooden beams.
After meeting Cinderella, guests are summoned 由 chiming bells and 你 advance upstairs (either 由 steps 或者 lift) to the restaurant itself.
Here 你 will see an arrangement of tables in a sort of circular-shaped room. It has flags hanging from the ceiling and various shields adorning the walls.
Whilst eating, guests can also meet other princesses such as Jasmine, Ariel, Snow White and Aurora. If 你 are lucky enough to get a window seat, your view looks out across Fantasyland and, in particular, the Prince Charming Regal Carrousel and Sir Mickey's which fits rather nicely with the medieval, fairy tale vibe for the restaurant.
Mousecellaneous
Cinderella, and its associated characters, is a film with a large presence across all the 迪士尼 parks.
Meet and greets with 灰姑娘 herself are regular occurences across the parks at venues such as Cinderella's Royal 表 and the Princess Fairytale Hall (at 迪士尼 World); the Princess Pavillion and Auberge de Cendrillon (Disneyland Paris); her Wishing Well at Hong Kong Disneyland and even, on rare occasions, in the France area of Epcot.
Alongside 灰姑娘 你 may be lucky enough to also meet her husband Prince Charming. He may be seen at Auberge de Cendrillon at Disneyland Paris 或者 at the Grand Floridian's 1900 Park Fare dinner. He is, of course, often seen accompanying 灰姑娘 on many a parade at the various parks.
For me, some of my favourite characters are the 迪士尼 villains and Cinderella's horrid stepmother and stepsisters can often be seen flouncing around the parks pretending they are 更多 important than they actually are. One time 你 can be sure to see Lady Tremaine is around Hallowe'en.
Sadly, Gus and Jaq are not often available to meet and greet in the various parks. Their friends, though, Suzy and Perla are regular attendees at Auberge de Cendrillon at Disneyland Paris. Suzy also often appears at the World Bazaar at Tokyo Disneyland.
Cinderella's kind benefactor, the Fairy Godmother occasionally meets and greets in both 迪士尼 World (behind the 灰姑娘 Castle), Disneyland and occasionally in Tokyo Disneyland (near the carousel).
And meet and greets aren't the only place. When we visited Disneyland Paris a few years ago, the Fairy Godmother was on a parade float with other magical characters such as Merlin. Many of the other characters feature in various parades and indeed, Cinderella's 南瓜 coach is a spectacular part of the Main Stree Electrical Parade.
Shanghai Disneyland is the newest theme park and it features a rather oddly-named window-service snackery: Fairy Godmother's Cupboard. Here 你 can purchase a pepperoni pizza, a pineapple sundae 或者 a variety of drinks including the intriguing Bibbidi Bobbid Brew.
灰姑娘 is also featured in a number of attractions which draw on different films for their inspiration including the Storybook Land Canal Boats (although only in the Disneyland version); the now defunct 灰姑娘 城堡 Mystery Tour featured 灰姑娘 and Lady Tremaine; Cinderella, in her rags, appears in the France area of It's a Small World at Disneyland, accompanied 由 Jaq and Gus. I've also seen 图片 of 灰姑娘 (in her blue dress) and Prince Charming but I can't seem to identify which iteration of the attraction they appear in (it's possible the Disneyland Paris version, but I can't be sure). Gus and Jaq even used to play the 长号 in the now defunct Mickey 老鼠, 鼠标 Revue.
Cinderella, and other characters, often feature in the many shows and firework displays, performed at the parks: Lady Tremaine, for example, often features in the various Hallowe'en extravaganzas. Some of these are even named after 灰姑娘 such as Cinderella's Surprise Celebration and Cinderellabration: Lights of Romance. There is even a unique stage sequel to 灰姑娘 only performed aboard the 迪士尼 Cruise Line - Twice Charmed: An Original Twist on the 灰姑娘 Story. Some of these shows I plan on examining in further blog posts.
灰姑娘 is such an iconic film and such an important part of the 迪士尼 experience that, whichever park 你 visit, you're sure experience a little bit of magic courtesy of 灰姑娘 and her many 老友记 (and enemies). Now, organise me a meet and greet with Lucifer and I'll be a happy man.

Since most of the 迪士尼 princesses are derived from fairy tales they have gone through many transformations before 迪士尼 took their stab at it. I’m going to use the stories I grew up on as “the original”.
Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937)
In the original Brothers Grimm story the evil 皇后乐队 tries three times before the poisoned 苹果 to kill Snow White and fails, ones with a poison comb, once with a murderously tight hair ribbon and another time with a similarly tight corset. Each time she is saved 由 the dwarves. 迪士尼 also gets rid of the queens violent smashing of the magic...

If something's not right, you gotta put it right.
9. Snow White's Castle
I'm sorry, but the only thing that seems good about this place is that it has a few nice balconies that 你 can stand on while your man serenades you. Other than that, it's a very dark, eerie castle. Of course it's ran 由 an evil 皇后乐队 so that makes perfect sense.
8. Prince's Castle (Snow White)
The scene with the Prince's 城堡 is one of the most beautiful scenes in all 迪士尼 电影院 however, we can't really see it. It seems 更多 like a mirage made of light in the clouds if 你 ask me. It's obviously beautiful, but we have no idea what it actually looks like inside....

9."Pocahontas"
The daughter of a Native American tribe chief and English soldier share a romance when English colonists invade 17th century Virginia.
Again, Poca is at the bottom of my list. People usually make points that it is aimed at a 更多 mature audience, and I'm still a kid, so that's probably why I find it boring.
8."The Princess and the Frog"

8."The Princess and the Frog"
I'm almost there, almost there. People down here think I'm crazy but I don't care
A fairy tale set in Jazz Age-era New Orleans...
I was thinking about it at this morning and I realized it's different, the other one wasn't so planned out. Plus, I watched PATF yesterday (LOVED IT :D)
9)Pocahontas
Choosing my least 最喜爱的 is always the hardest part for me. Pocahontas is just too serious for me, it's weird because she's the rare type that's kind of boring but still has a sense of fun at the same time.
8)Snow White
I 爱情 this girl,so perky and sweet, just a little.....too perky and sweet. I find...

My own princess lineup
Here is my opinion on the best and worst princesses.
I know some of the 图片 look dumb but I edited some of them. Many fanpoppers know that I do not make 图片 and I have just started.
I might change this order one day.
Remember that I don't hate any princess.
Please comment.
No. 9 Cinderella
I know there are many 灰姑娘 爱人 out there but she is my least favourite (she doesn't have a 粉, 粉色 dress 由 the way.) I admire her sassyness and I think out of the 3 originals she is the most sassy. I also 爱情 her line "I have the other slipper" and the song "Sing sweet Nightingale"....

Imaginative Princess Countdown Results!
Disney Princesses vary in multiple ways, and how much they imagine is no exception. Some of them are very down to earth, and quite realistic, while others are very much in their own world, constantly dreaming and creating new visions and ideas in their heads. This is a rank of the least to most imaginative 迪士尼 Princess.
9. Pocahontas
Pocahontas was determined to be the least imaginative princess. This is mostly because she doesn’t having the flaming ideals and dreams that most of the others have, because she was generally unsure for most of the...

So back in my junior 年 of high school I was obsessed with Tigi Bedhead Products.
These are bedhead products. Me and my friend used to be obsessed with hair and obsessed with Bedhead's stuff. We bought their products with ferver. I made a checklist of all the stuff I needed to get. I got close to having the whole collection. Sadly, but probably better for my mental health, I am no longer obsessed with their products like I once was, though I do use some of their stuff still. One 日 I was bored in one of my classes and decided to write a tribute to Bedhead Products....
