I was just wondering if anyone has been up in the appartment in Cinderella's castle at Walt Disney Worl? What is up there and what is it like?

Never been up there, but I've seen the light coming from it.

I'd love to see it, but I'm sure thats not happening anytime soon.

Sure wish they'd consider leasing it to me !!!

I heard it was originally built as an apartment for Walt Disney & his family but was seldom, if ever, used... I think it's storage now! (Might be wrong on that though -)

Nope you're right, from what I understand now it's storage and a staging area with dressing rooms.

Yeah but isnt this the room we see the light coming from during the fireworks ?? Kinda makes it look like Walt's home.

You're probably right about the light being on up there, being a staging area they probably have one on for Tink or for other staging stuff for Wishes. I never thought of it but I do think there is a light on up there, very likely could be an ode to Walt as much as practical reasons.

Interesting topic...I never knew there was an upstairs room inside of Cinderella's Castle. Never been to WDW, but it sounds a lot like Walt's apartment in the Fire Station at Disneyland...

I wouldn't put it past Disney to leave the light on up there as an ode to the one left on in DL if it isn't for the practical reasons I mentioned before, maybe just another Disney magic touch.

You're exactly right! And a special Disney magic touch as that!

I heard that after Walt died they used it for telecomunications for a few years and then they moved there telecomunications office to a bigger building because they need more staff workers to handle all the calls.

Walt had an office in Main Street but he did not had a house in Cinderella´s Castle...I wish i could live up there if he had...
