WooferBearATL Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 WOW, Just WOW. As someone that is not a Fan of Disney World (as much as I love EPCOT) that is simply amazing. I had heard about the suite but did not know how people were selected or all that was involved. I'm wondering what that perk would be actually valued at. I'd bet a couple thousand dollars.

Avatar Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 This has be going on for almost a year now and man my DD7 would love to spend the night there (me too). Well if you not lucky enough to win that one night sleep over in the castle you can always have your own princess made up in the castle at Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique by a fairy godmother in training. Or meet Cinderella in the castle to have breakfast or lunch with all the Disney princesses. Or you can ask one of the PhotoPass photographers to help you get a brief Tinkerbell sighting in front of Cinderella Castle. Here is a link to another forum thread of an actual winner of a nights stay in Cinderella Castle Suite, she tells about the experience as well as a ton of photos. My Visit to the Cinderella Castle Suite! Enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Browntggrr Posted January 6, 2008 Author Share Posted January 6, 2008 Wow. After looking at those pics and hearing about the amenities, it would be at least $2500 a night, and chances are even more. That would be a chance of a lifetime to the Disney fanatic. After reading the article, I though it may be a bit spooky to be the only ones staying in the castle, but after reading her TR, that is obviously not the case.

Avatar Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 $587.00 which everyone who stays on site regularly knows that for all you get in that package $587.00 is way under priced. They do that to get around taxes or something like that. A Day (and a Night) in the Life of the Cinderella Castle Suite Each morning, a magical time and place is randomly selected from anywhere on Walt Disney World property to find a winner of a night in the Cinderella Castle Suite. A Disney Dream Squad of cast members is advised of the selection, heads to the location and identifies the winning guest from the selection criteria. The Disney Dream Squad informs the guest of their prize, explains the details of the prize and asks if they want to accept it. If they accept, after a short verification process, the fanfare begins. (If the guest does not accept the prize, the computer randomly selects another lucky guest. The computer will select up to three guests each day.) The winner and up to five guests head back to their hotel to pack an overnight bag. Then it's on to their day of royalty. First event is a photo session on Main Street, U.S.A. in Magic Kingdom. They are proclaimed royalty for the day and led down Main Street to their suite. The Royal Concierge checks them into the suite and gives them a formal tour, regaling them with the history and spectacle of the suite's royal heritage. After a bit of free time to explore their imperial quarters, the winning family is awarded one of the highest honors bestowed on guests of Magic Kingdom as they become Grand Marshals of the "Disney Dreams Come True" parade. Following more luxurious relaxation time in the suite, the winner's magical evening begins with dinner at Cinderella's Royal Table, a feast fit for a monarch, with a meet-and-greet with Cinderella. Dinner is capped with VIP viewing of the "SpectroMagic" nighttime parade and "Wishes" fireworks spectacular. * For up to two hours after the scheduled close of the park, the family will have access to Magic Kingdom with a VIP Guest Relations cast member. This will allow them to enjoy the atmosphere of the park before they retire for the evening. Suggested after-hours tours will be available which include modified versions of "Art of the Theme Show" and "Keys to the Kingdom," which are tours that explore the history and creativity behind Magic Kingdom. This special "after hours" opportunity gives these guests an amazing opportunity to see Magic Kingdom in a way that few guests have experienced. Then it's back to the suite for a night of "suite dreams." At the suite, they discover their beds turned down with royal sweets, and their room stocked with a variety of snacks and drinks. (The Royal Concierge is just a stone's throw away should the family require anything during the night.) After a glorious night's sleep in the royal chamber, the winning family is awakened by a personalized wake-up call from Cinderella. Then, as with every fairytale, the clock strikes and the family returns to their magical vacation, checking out of the Cinderella Castle Suite, which is then readied for the next day's royal visitors.
