Spotlights testing over Castle of Magical Dreams.

This is a gorgeous castle, uplifting and whimsical, it has a welcoming quality to it. I think it maybe my 2nd favorite Disney castle.

I don’t like it. The taller left tower looks like it’s leaning to the right. I don’t know if it’s an optical illusion, bit standing next to the shorter spire, they don’t look parallel. The tall one looks like its leaning toward the shorter spire. It looks like an add-on, and very awkward.

I love the new castle! So much more impactful than the previous Disneyland clone, but not ridiculously over-sized monstrosity that's in Shanghai. Really fits in well with the Hong Kong aesthetic too whilst still being evidently a Disney castle.

Possibly tying with Paris as my favourite castle now.

The new castle looks like a mistake. Like a mixture of two castles. A I-can't-decide-castle.
