The Disney World Resort is giving away Cinderella Castle, its most iconic attraction, for a free vacation to some lucky fans. Even better, it’s raffling off the chance to stay in the castle for an actually philanthropic cause, making the Disney magic all that much more important.
Cinderella Castle (which prominently features at both Disney World in Orlando and Tokyo Disney Resort) is the flagship attraction of the world’s most popular theme park, making a stay in its ultra-exclusive suite one of the rarest experiences for a Disney fan. Reportedly, the Walt Disney Company has refused cash offers of up to $40,000 for a single night in the castle and does not accept reservations for the 650-square-foot suite, which features 4-karat gold molding, a 200-year-old writing desk, and a grandfather clock permanently stuck on “11:59 p.m.”
