Castle of Magical Dreams will be the new centerpiece castle that replaces Sleeping Beauty Castle at Hong Kong Disneyland, which is set to open on September 12, 2020 to coincide with Hong Kong Disneyland's 15th Anniversary. The castle will be redesigned to pay tribute to 13 Disney Princess and heroines[1][2] , Including Snow White, Rapunzel, Tiana, Aurora, Merida, Anna and Elsa, Jasmine, Mulan, Pocahontas, Belle, Ariel, Cinderella, and Moana.
The castle will also feature a brand new bibbidi-bobbidi boutique, which has debuted before the castle in 2019.
It will be the third attraction to open as part of the park’s multi-year expansion from 2018 to 2023. However, it may be delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the park's second closure.
History
On November 22, 2016, the Walt Disney Company and the Hong Kong Government announced plans for a multi-year, HK$10.9 billion expansion of Hong Kong Disneyland. The proposed expansion includes Arendelle: World of Frozen, Stark Expo, multiple new attractions, and live entertainment.
Hong Kong Disneyland Resort revealed creative details about the upcoming castle transformation — an important part of the park’s ongoing multi-year expansion plan on 8 December 2017.
