So we've already got two Cinderella castles and three Sleeping Beauty castles. Assuming that the Disney theme park company decide to do a new castle that's not another carbon copy of the others (they better or else somebody's gonna get hurt ), which would you think would turn out to be a cool one ?

(I didn't include TLM, because she already has one at Tokyo Disneysea)

Jasmine's palace! It stands out from the others, and it's recognizable as Jasmine's even for those who don't know much about Disney!

I personally would love to Snow finally get a castle as she was supposed to originally have one at Disneyland, but Walt later changed the name to Sleeping Beauty Castle to promote the upcoming film. Also I think the idea would be awesome to have a Snow White's Scary Adventures attraction down at the bottom of the dungeon in the castle.

Beast's Castle would also be great to see, with maybe that Tiki Room style BatB show they had planned for Disneyland Paris but never built.

Jasmine's would be interesting, but I don't think it would quite work honestly. Unless they drastically change it for Shanghai, Fantasyland has always been a home for European fairy tale, folklore, or fantasy. There could be an Aladdin subsection that I think would work well into Fantasyland, but having a giant Middle Eastern castle as the gateway to a European fairy tale world would just be very thematically confusing and jarring.

I'm not voting (Jasmine is my favorite, but I'd like any that isn't already existing elsewhere), but this quote from an article made me think:

But what's more, Disney World will construct individual areas -- be it a castle, cottage or chateau -- where guests can interact with the company's best-known princesses and other characters from their movies. Children will be able to dance with Cinderella, celebrate Aurora's birthday with the Good Fairies, or play a role with Belle in a performance in the library of the Beast's castle.

The Beast's castle, taken from the 1991 film Beauty and the Beast, will also include a three-room themed restaurant.

So, there will be 2 or 3 or so new castles in Fantasyland. Maybe they'll use the Beast's castle, since the blueprints will already exist.

Thanks for posting that pic Amy.

So what I can see from that picture is:

Belle's house (on the lower left hand corner), along with her village and a ... miniscule Beast's castle ?

Cinderella's Chateau and Prnce Eric's castle in the middle.

What looks like the Woodcutter's cottage from Sleeping Beauty. (under Pixie Hollow on the top right hand corner)

I voted for Snow White's Castle!
