It can easily withstand the 125 mph (200 km/h) wind speeds in Central Florida.Ĭinderella Castle is also surrounded by a moat, which contains approximately 3.37 million US gallons (12,800 m 3) of water however, unlike the drawbridge at Sleeping Beauty Castle in Disneyland, Cinderella Castle cannot raise its bridge. As with every other building at Walt Disney World, it was simply efficient enough in design to handle a hurricane. It would take months to disassemble, it would be too dangerous to operate the 300-foot (91 m) crane required in windy conditions, and there would have to be a more structurally sound building to keep it in. Contrary to a popular legend, the castle cannot be taken apart or moved in any way in the event of a hurricane. These towers were lifted by crane, then welded and bolted permanently to the main structure. They are shingled in the same type of plastic that computer monitor shells are made from, attached to a cone of light gauge steel sheeting over the steel sub-frame. Most fiberglass work is reserved for the exterior walls of more ornate upper towers. Rather, most of the exterior is a thick, very hard fiber-reinforced gypsum plaster that is supported by light-gauge metal studs. Much less fiberglass is used than is popularly believed. All of the steel and concrete works are supported on a concrete drilled caisson foundation.

Despite its appearance, no bricks were used in its construction the inner structure consists of six hundred tons of steel-braced frame construction, with a 10-inch-thick (250 mm) reinforced concrete wall encircling the structure to the full height of the outermost stone-like walls. Unlike Disneyland's castle, no gold is used on the exterior all gold colors are anodized aluminum. This castle and its near-twin in Tokyo were the tallest Disney theme park castles until the completion of the Enchanted Storybook Castle in Shanghai Disneyland Park.Ĭinderella Castle is designed to reflect the late-Gothic, flamboyant style of the 1400s. At higher elevations, its proportions to full scale are reduced for elements such as stones, windows, and doors. A set-building trick known as forced perspective makes the castle appear larger than it is. Cinderella Castle is more than 100 feet (30 m) taller than Sleeping Beauty Castle at Disneyland in Anaheim, California. Erroneously adding the depth of the of the moat, 6 feet (1.8 m) at the bridge, has lead to incorrect quotes of the overall height. The castle is 183 feet (56 m) tall, as measured from water-level. Cinderella Castle was completed in July 1971, after about 18 months of construction.
