Sleeping Beauty Castle has been completely renovated. In addition to the attractions and character meet-and-greets, the park offers a daytime show and another at nightfall. Enchanting gardens have also been specially designed. Behind the scenes, inventiveness has been doubled to celebrate this 30th anniversary.
