Cinderella's Castle was Modeled After Bavaria's Neuschwanstein Castle

Today I found out that Cinderella’s Castle at Disney World and Sleeping Beauty’s Castle in Disney Land are modeled after Bavaria’s Neuschwanstein Castle. Each castle was also inspired by several other castles, including Fontainebleau and Versailles, but with Neuschwanstein’s dainty turrets and...

That's the Hong Kong disneypark
 
Whats Hong Kong ? The Segovia one ?
"Sleeping Beauty Castle at Disneyland was inspired by the Neuschwanstein Castle in Southern Germany. This European influence was fine for building a castle in Anaheim, but the fact that castles exist just down the road from Disneyland Paris challenged us to think twice about our design." —Tony Baxter, executive designer Walt Disney Imagineering

Yeah but neuschwanstein castle was built in the 1800s copying other castles ludwig the suicidal had seen. The towers are an obvious copy of the Segovia castle :p which was built a few hundred years earlier
 
Had a pad around the city today .....

How far do you want to go back . The Disney guy only mentioned ludwigs folly, Ludwig lived in Hohenschwangau . i visited both in 62 and IIRC they mentioned Disney used the new castle as a model .
 
Lovely pictures as usual Tam, thanks, especially the one with all the spires! But a big break from your traditions - there are real people in the piccy's -lots of them :giggle:

Hi. I'm really sorry for not replying to this. I opened and read it at the time and then instead of answering I went onto other things and total forgot. I blame being back in England and with parents who are driving us nuts.

Anyway I see some have replied to your question. We must have been lucky as both times we just emailed a covering letter just with a rough list of what we'd done in the past and then one interview was via Skype and from memory the other was by phone. When I left work in 2009 I asked them for a reference which I saved as a PDF which just got sent with the covering letter. Think for my next job I'd better get a new one done, people might think I've been inside for the last 10 years.

We didn't have a dog at the time but one site wouldn't accept wardens with dogs, to much of a distraction was the reason.

We are two, me and Emma but one of the warden jobs we arranged a deal that it would be just me working as we wanted Emma to be able to carry on with her artwork. You'll have probably seen that most positions are for couples, one place we worked at did take and preferred to have signal people, the reason being that with couples if management upset one of the pair both would leave but you only lose one if it's the single person, there is logic there.

I should have put a smiley at the end as it was said tongue in cheek.

No disrespect meant to any parents out there.

So I've moved today to a town called cuèllar it's sort of between Segovia and Valladolid. Free aire and big castle plus other historic buildings which we will go look at tomorrow.

I have a French couple as neighbours who have spent the last 20 minutes shouting at each other and she's stomped off lol.

I'm not surprised they are annoyed she was driving and he got her to move about 6 times before as usual they have parked right across the front of me ?

Ah well

Took a few pics of outide castle
