You can now walk through the interior of Sleeping Beauty Castle and see a few semi-interactive displays that tell the story of Sleeping Beauty.

Well, let's back up a bit here first. This actually isn't a new idea. When the park opened in 1955 the interior of the castle was empty, there was no attraction inside. But in 1957 they decided to turn the inside into a walk through attraction with various Sleeping Beauty scenes along the way. In 2001 it closed down.

In 2008 it opened again and was completely updated with modern scenes and some pretty cool effects. The problem is that it still isn't very fun or interesting. Sure, some of the effects they've added are very well done but there aren't that many and you already know what most of the surprises are simply because you saw the people ahead of you do it first.

If you're claustrophobic then you may want to sit this one out because there are some tight and tiny spaces in there. This attraction was made well before the 1990 ADA laws (laws that require wheelchair access, etc) and because of the small spaces and stairs anyone who can't walk has to sit it out or take a virtual tour (which means watching a video).
