The iconic Cinderella Castle greets visitors to Walt Disney World Resort's Magic Kingdom after a walk down a quaint Main Street, U.S.A. Arrive early, either as a Disney resort guest enjoying "Extra Magic Hours" or before opening to beat the crowds.

The castle sits at the hub of Walt Disney World Resort's Magic Kingdom, with other areas of the park located around the castle.

Cinderella Castle sets the tone for Magic Kingdom, giving guests the feeling of visiting the "most magical place on Earth."
