1. Cinderella’s Wishing Well

In Disneyland, Snow White’s wishing well was placed alongside Sleeping Beauty’s Castle. Walt Disney World wished to have both the wishing well and the castle to complement one another. This wishing well is located to the right of the castle on the Tomorrowland side entrance.

This is a quiet location to enjoy the beauty of Cinderella’s castle. This area is rarely crowded and even offers benches to enjoy the beauty of the area. At certain times throughout the day, PhotoPass photographers will be at this location for pictures.

While at the wishing well, toss in a coin and believe that all of your wishes may come true. The beauty of this wishing well is that all of the money cast in will be donated to children’s charities. Not only will you cast a wish, but you will be helping to grant a wish for someone else.

2. Ride Cinderella’s Horse

After visiting Cinderella’s Wishing Well, head over to Prince Charming’s Regal Carousel. Guests may notice that all of the horses on this carousel are painted white. This was planned because most heroes come riding in on a white horse. The vision for this carousel is for each guest to feel as though they are the hero in their story.

If you pay careful attention, you will notice that one of the horses has a gold ribbon painted around its tail. This single horse has been designated as Cinderella’s horse. Be on the lookout for this horse during your next visit.

3. Cinderella’s Drinking Fountain

Located near the Castle you will find a lovely statue of Cinderella. A dual drinking fountain is located in front of the statue. What is so interesting about this statue is the mural that it is painted behind it. Depending on your height will determine how you see this statue and mural. For adults, when you first see this it will appear that Cinderella is standing with the crown slightly above her head.

The beauty of this mural comes when you take a drink at the fountain, or if you are at a child’s level. When a young child looks, it appears that the crown is resting on Cinderella’s head.
