The "Royal Family" chosen to spend the night in this dream setting, will enter through the castle breezeway to a small foyer or "Greeting Room" which has the elevator to take them up to the Suite on the fourth floor. This allows the family to get away from the Hustle and Bustle of the park and into the atmosphere of a 17th century castle. This room is small, but it begins to tell the story of Cinderella, on the walls are hand-woven tapestries that you would see in a French Castle, there is a Grandfather Clock from the period, it is even set to one minute to Midnight, so the experience will not end as in the story. When the family enters the room, they will be met by castle concierges who will start telling them the story, what is going to happen during the stay. The elevator will be called and they will begin their journey.

The elevator taking the family up was even made larger during the suite build. The elevator will then open into an octagon-shaped foyer of the suite. Everything is very ornate and beautifully done. The scrollwork atop the white columns has engravings of Jag and Gus and the birds and Mice who helped Cinderella. In the foyer there are pictures of Prince Charming and Cinderella overhead and a tiled mosaic floor of the pumpkin coach. There is also a curio cabinet which contains the glass slipper worn by Cinderella, this slipper a one-of-a-kind piece made exclusively by Steuben Glass. Also in the cabinet is her tiara some glass pumpkins and scepter.

The whole suite is extensively decorated in the style of a 17th century bedchamber. In the master bedroom, there are two Queen-sized beds, which can sleep four, and in the sitting room a couch pulls out to a bed which can sleep two addition people for a total of six. This sitting room is to view the "Wishes" fireworks display, with the music pumped directly into the room. The stained glass windows do not open, but at night during the display, they seem to disappear. These same windows also tell the story of Cinderella. From starting in her house, to the invitation and finally where she marries Prince Charming, all told in the beauty of stained glass pictures. There is a "Magic Mirror" in the sitting room that changes into a television set at the touch of a button. There is full surround-sound in the rooms, so if the guests just want to watch a movie, they will be able to enjoy it to the fullest. The Imagineers worked hard to blend 17th century opulence with 21st century comfort and technology.

Returning to the master bedroom, there is a fireplace with a picture of Cinderella in human form. She is usually represented as an animated figure. This picture also through the touch of a switch will turn into a Television set. The fireplace will sometimes give a little personal "Fireworks" display. The stained glass windows in the master suite face Fantasyland, and the cast members stated none can be opened. There is an original 17th century secretary's desk by the master beds, complete with wireless internet and Wi-Fi so guests if they want can use their laptops.

The next room surveyed was the "Royal Bathroom". This is indeed fit for Royalty. The Jacuzzi tub is surrounded by mosaic images of 17th century France and the ceiling has blue, twinkling stars above. Very Beautiful. There is a double sink, both made of copper and detailed in what appears to be light-colored metal swirling around the basins. There is even a phone (It is a Victorian-style one) right next to the toilet. The toilet paper even has gold Royal seals on them. The shower unit is tiled all around and the fixture is copper and very ornate.

I got a chance to speak to two Disney Imagineers, both who were instrumental in the design concept and construction of the Suite, Kyle and Diago. They said that the concept of transforming the room that was to be Walt Disney's personnel apartment until his tragic death in 1966 into a guest room has been around for many years, and of course the "Year of a Million Dreams" seemed just right for it to finally take place. The work started in October of 2006 and just completed in time for the first family to occupy. From design conception to completion took only six months.

This castle suite is what Dreams are made of. The Imagineers did a superlative job. If not for the modern conveniences, you would actually believe that Cinderella herself might just walk in. I envy the guests that get chosen for this special "Dream Stay" here at Walt Disney World, for this is Walt Disney magic at it's finest!
