One of the questions that I get asked a lot is how do you make a reservation at Disney’s Cinderella Castle Suite inside the Magic Kingdom. The Castle Suite is the only hotel room inside Disney’s Magic Kingdom. Unfortunately the answer is that it is not exactly straightforward! Many of us dream of staying in Cinderella’s Castle but few will ever get the opportunity as it takes rather more than just a little bit of Disney Pixie Dust to get the chance to spend a night in Magic Kingdom. A Disney Cinderella Castle Suite Reservation is unfortunately something which not even money can buy and is open only to a very fortunate few.

Disney World first announced the creation of the Cinderella Suite in 2006. The space which is now the Cinderella Castle Suite was originally intended to be a place that Walt Disney and his family would stay in the park. Sadly of course Walt never got to see his creation as he died in December 1966, almost five years before the Magic Kingdom opened. Before 2006 the space in Cinderella Castle was empty, although at times it was used for storage and was also the home of the Disney telephone operators for a while.
But with the launch of The Year of A Million Dreams in 2007, Disney wanted something as a very special prize for a select few lucky guests. Someone was chosen at the parks each day to spend the night, with up to 5 guests in Cinderella’s Castle Suite.
What exactly is inside Cinderella’s Castle Suite? It has the kind of amazing detailing that you would expect from the Disney Imagineers. The Suite is intended to make you feel not just that you are inside the Castle but that you are immersed in the whole experience.
The inspiration for the design of the Cinderella Suite were the 17th century French chateaus upon which the Castle was modeled. The Suite has ornate furnishings in dark woods with opulent fabrics.
Watch this video for an exclusive tour and peek inside the Cinderella Castle Suite.
The Castle Suite is on the fourth floor and is accessed by a special elevator. Inside the Suite is perhaps smaller than most people imagine at just 650 square feet. The bedroom has 2 beautiful Queen sized beds facing an ornate fireplace. Above the fireplace is a 17th century style portrait of Cinderella. But of course all is not what it seems as the portrait magically transforms into a flat screen television! There is even a remote control for the lights and the fireplace. Of course Cinderella’s Glass Slipper finds pride of place in the Suite. The bathroom houses a huge garden tub with ornate stained glass windows and a twinkling star ceiling.
Guests may be surprised that it isn’t easy to get a view of the Magic Kingdom from the Suite. The windows are small and stained glass. There is a balcony outside the Suite but it is not accessible for guests.
So how do you make a reservation for Cinderella’s Castle Suite. Unfortunately you can’t. Disney occasionally gives away a nights stay as a prize. The latest guest to stay at the Cinderella Suite was Kevin Jonas and his wife Danielle as they celebrated their first wedding anniversary on December 19th 2010. So obviously being an international superstar who has made Disney many millions of dollars must help in getting a reservation!
So what would you give to stay inside Cinderella Castle Suite? Leave a comment below!

I am planning to go to Disney world for my 16th birthday in June! And my dream is to spend a anight in the Cinderella castle. I have been a Disney princess fanatic for my whole life. I absolutely love them. I’ve never been to Disney World before, but I know my experience there will be magical! I’ve always wanted to go there but we never had enough money, so instead of a sweet 16 party I decided to go to Disney World (since we saved enough money). I’m happy that I can go
Not everybody deserves to go up there. You can win a contest, but they rarely have them. The closest you will probably get up t that room is if you eat dinner in the reserves castle area, but you still won’t see or go up to that room. It is special: One of a kind. It is a lot of peoples dreams and Disney tries to fulfill them but this dream is too costly for them and I would say you can’t buy your dreams. If you deserve it, you get it, so do what’s right and hope for the best. Byee
-BTW it looks beautiful in that picture. It’d be my dream too
I have 5 kids from 21 to 5 years old, I’m 41 years old and me and my wife dedicate our lives to our children, I own 3 businesses in long island new York, and have broke my tail since I’m 19 years old on the arrival of my daughter to now to accomplish what I have, I have lost my brother when I was 8 and he was just 15, and my dad died in my arms when I was. 16, I would pay almost anything that I could to give my kids that room for a night, what a special and life altering gift it would be for them.i have learned at a young age life can change everything in an instance so I help anyone I can, love my wife and children unconditionaly, and conduct my business honorably, and I feel that Walt Disney would acknowledge those good American principals and morals, and possibly if he were here today, and had a chance to meet me, would award me an opportunity to rent that magical room for my wife and children.
ok i have been a disney folllower ever snice i was a little girl. my biggest dream is to go to disneyland n get in to the cindella suite. i have watch every disney movie ever made n im such a big fan of disney. im older now but im never going to quit being the biggest fan ever i would do pretty much anything to get in my dream suite. one day i will visit disneyland with my four kids n i hope to get in that beautiful sutie
I live in Australia, born in New Zealand and have been going to Disneyland since I was 5. I’m now 31 and last went when I was 28 and I have never lost my heart-fluttering excited love for all things Disney. Every single time I’ve been to a Disney park, I visit the castle and go on & on to my family and now Husband, about how much I wish I could stay in the Castle and be Cinderella for a night, even when I thought it was just a make-believe castle. I had no idea there was actually a Cinderella Suite until seeing it on tv tonight! Wow, even though I was sad to see you can’t pay to stay there, I’m still so excited that it is even a possibility! I wonder if there is a way international guests can register their interest? What a total miracle that would be!
Kendall Jackman AKA “Cinderella” I am four years old and I’m Cinderella! Why shouldn’t I stay at MY castle? I’m coming for my second visit this June and will have my glass slippers on. See everybody in June.
My 26 yo daughter, Allison, was just diagnosed with Stage 4 lung and bone cancer. As a non-smoker, we have all been saddened by the shock of the diagnosis. My husband and I could never afford to take our girls to WDW when they were small, but now they are grown, with children of their own and our finances will allow us to bring everyone to see Mickey. What a treat for my 2 daughters and 2 granddaughters this would be !! Allison has put WDW on her “bucket list”, but this would be the chance of her lifetime and memories would be forever made . Thank you for the opportunity to write this comment.

My name is Karolina. I recently got married on November 12, 2011. My husband proposed to me in our favorite restaurant dressed up as a prince. We are both very much into the fairytale love. We visit Magic Kingdom in Orlando as much as we can. It is my favorite place in the world and I would love nothing more than to stay there for our 1year anniversary which will be November 12, 2012. We are not rich and we’re not famous. We are just 2 people who are very much in love and would love to share that experience together. I know that this wish will probably never come true, but you have to dream, otherwise whats the point.
I know two things. I grew up going to Disneyland and it is my favorite place on this planet. I also know that, at 45 years of age, I have finally found the woman of my dreams. I would simply like to take her to the Cinderella Suite . . . even if its only to share a kiss.
My family and myself will be visiting Disney World this August. It just happens to be when we will be celebrating my wifes 50th birthday, ooppss i’ll be in trouble for sharing that info. We are going to make it a special celebration as Ann’ s fathers passing this Feburary and i have been disabled with a broken back, and received news of more upcoming surgeries that will limit my mobility, my wife is now the sole momey earner in the family which adds its own level of stress. Even with those set backs taken place Ann has away of bringing energy and light to the families daily coming and goings. To be able to have Ann spend the night as a princess would be such a wonderful memory. I know we will have a GREAT time in Disney no matter where we stay. Thanks Kevin
My husband And I have been married for 32 years Disneyland would be a wonderful way to celebrate 33 years .
My husband And I have been married for 32 years Disneyland would be a wonderful way to celebrate 33 years . He is my prince .. We would be so honored to be chosen.
My Aunt and Uncle visit Disney Word at least 2 to 3 times a year. This is truly my Uncle’s favorite place, in the world, and has been going multiple times a year, for MANY years!! If they could enjoy a night in Cinderella’s Castle, that would be the final and best thing, they have yet to visit at Disney World!!
My family and I are so excited to be visiting Disney World this coming April. We will be celebrating my daughter’s 4th birthday and it will also be her and my husband’s very first visit. I know we will have the time of our lives as we experience as much as possible during our visit to each park. I cannot wait to see my daughter’s eyes light up when she sees all of Disney’s magic. It brings tears to my eyes just thinking about it and I know there will be a lot of happy tears shed all week
I am hoping to give my daughter and husband the very best first experience of Disney! I must say the one day I am looking so much forward to is April 16. My daughter will turn 4 years old and her very special day will begin with breakfast at Cinderella’s Royal Table where she will be swept off her feet and greeted by all Disney’s beautiful princesses. See you soon Cinderella 
As Jiminy Cricket once said, “When you wish upon a star, makes no difference who you are. Anything your heart desires will come to you.” For years, I was searching for my prince charming, and one day, fate brought my husband and I together in a tragic way. May 10, 1987 my brother was burned in a terrible accident. At the same time, my soon to be husband had a motorcycle accident. They were brought together and were in the same hospital room. The moment I laid eyes on David, I knew he was the one for me. We were married Nov. 12, 1988. In 2013 we will celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary. Having the opportunity to celebrate our love in such a magical way would be like a dream come true. I love all things Disney, and would be honored to spend an evening in your Cinderella suite. After all, if you keep on believing, the dream that you wish will come true!
We have 5 kids – have been a Disney Family since our 26 year old was born. The kids know every word to every Disney song and every movie line by memory. We own our own business and in early 2000′s had some incredible few years, this allowed us to stay in the Roy Disney Suite our 2nd time on the Disney Cruise. This was a dream come true ! We have stayed in the Grand Floridian and the Wilderness Lodge. Nothing could compare to my now 15 year old son being chosen to join the stage in the “Hoop-de-doo review !!”We Live in San Diego and just last weekend we spent 3 days at Disneyland – we can’t get enough ! We all have places in our closets for our Disney clothing , we would not dream of entering the park without being dressed head to toe in Disney ! We are so proud of out family “Stone” Straight out from the center of the main entrance. We were one of the first to buy a family stone ! My husband and I grew up in poor households and even though he grew up in Anaheim, his family did not have the money to take him. We have worked so hard for all we have, now I say had. We spent three years building our dream home which we just lost in foreclosure like so many who have their own business. We were so happy to be able to buy out passes with monthly payments because while we have lost all else, Disney brings joy to our lives and our hearts – a stay in the Castle would make life complete.
There’s nothing I can say…not enough sob stories…not enough reasons why I feel I should win anything…because the truth is that no matter how much I go through or how many problems I face, that doesn’t make me anymore deserving…God’s will is God’s will…and I don’t deserve anything…
but I’m still giving it a shot…If it’s God’s will for this young adult to win then so be it and I’ll cry myself to tears in joy from a simple dream coming true…any girl would…lol
My Father is the King of Kings, so no matter what happens…I’ll always believe I’m a princess in my heart. =) If God doesn’t let me win then I’ll still be happy for the on who did win! Just…if there’s anything I can do to help the chances of me winning…let me know. God bless you! And thank you!!

i am 23 years old with a 2 year old daughter. Me and my boyfriend hopefully soon to be* my prince charming * would do anything to even get a chance to have a get away vacation. We have been together for 6 years, and he works 85 hours a week just to keep a roof over our heads and food on the table. I lost my job 2 months ago, after being there for 2 years after i finished school. I’m thankfully going back to school this May. I just wish i could get the chance to take my daughter to a magical place like this. She is such a princess. She’s so smart and such a good girl. I just dont have the money to afford a night like this. And i remember when i was 7 we went to have breakfast with the princess’ and its just something i would love to be able to give my daughter the chance to experience that. I know she is just 2 but it could be our way to start the family i always wanted, and hopefully a proposal
. My long time boyfriend is so tired and has been working non stop because he couldnt get his diploma for owing a loan that they told him 2 days before he was supposed to graduate. We have done everything we were supposed to do. We just never get the time for us now. Its so hard. …. This would really be a dream come true.

So, if …..lets say……Bill Gates wanted to stay there, he couldn’t? I don’t believe that. Money talks. It may take millions, but for the right price, i’m sure you could get it.
Ever since i was born i have not missed one year that i didnt go to disney. Me and my family love it so much that even after 18 years of my life we still planed to go. Me and my family were lucky and got to go three times in one year! But the bad part my mom works herself to death tryin to make us happy by bring us to this magicial place. So me and my family wanted to do something for her and make her happy. So we thought if it was possible we wanted to make her feel like a princess by tryin to get her to stay in the castle. She trys day in and day out to do everything for our family to make us happy and get everything she wants for us, that she forgets herself. So i was wondering if there was anyway to do this so we can make her day and let her be the princess she deserves to be?
hi. my name is john. my wife, donna, and i spent part our honeymoon at disney world in october 1972. my wife is all about cinderella. she has even made a cinderella gown. it came out beautiful. before they decided to give away the nights at the castle suite, we scrimped and saved to try to have enough to stay there. well we never got enough in time. we will be coming to disney world this october to celebrate our 40th anniversary. i hope with all my heart we could get a chance to stay in cinderella’s suite. i think my wife would even give up her cinderella gown to stay. for sure she would wear it. lol. my daughter and grandchildren will be joining us. they would be so thrilled. since they could speak, when they see the castle anytime, they say, ‘ there’s your castle Grandma.’ please make her dream, one in a million! thank you, john m. angelo
i was there when i turned 10 and im 12 now and when i learned that you could stay all the way up there in the castle i went coocoo cause that was my dream since lets see two years old so i would loved to be picked to have that chance of a life time
My daughter is celebrating her 16th birthday this year and she has dreamed of being able to stay at the Cinderella Castle long before it was a suite. Now that they have built the suite it would be amazing if I could surprise her with a trip to Disney and stay at the castle on her Sweet 16!
I think not opening up the Cinderella suite is an ingenious idea as it preserves the “special princess feeling”. Knowing you are one of very few special people is an indescribable feeling. I would love to give that to my 6 year old daughter. No sob stories but just a mom trying to make her daughter always feel she is a true princess and of course I would not mind enjoying that feeling a little myself. I am a local who lives in Orlando, Fl and have enjoyed all the parks since I was a little girl.
We are planning on going to Disney for the first time next year with our kids ages 11, 9 and 4. Would love to go this summer but it’s not financially possible and our 9 year old daughter just had heart surgery so I want her to be a 1+ out from her surgery before going because she gets tired easily. It would be a dream come true for her to get to stay in the Castle, she loves all the princess but especially Cinderella because the princess is blonde and blue eyed like my daughter. My daughter also has severe Idiopathic Juvenile Scoliosis and is in a backbrace 23 hours a day so when we do go to the park everything we do will revolve around her limitations. She really wants to get the princess makeover (it’s $189, YIKES) we are going to do everything we can to make this a special trip, as it will most likely be a once in a lifetime trip for us.
My husband, 3 year old son and I are planning our Disney World vacation in November. We have decided to make an annual family vacation to Disney in celebration of our family! When I was pregnant with my son, I was diagnosed with Peripartum Cardiomyopathy, which is pregnancy induced heart failure. The doctors took my son six weeks early, but he is a fighter and fought any obstacle that came his way. Turns out he may have gotten that from me! When he was just over 1 month old, I was put on the waiting list for a heart transplant. My heart was only getting worse and my doctors were afraid I would not make it. On December 8, 2008 (my son was exactly two months old), my surgeon came in to let me know they would be installing a Left Ventricular Assist Device (LVAD), which is a pump they installed on my heart to pump it, and they wanted to do it the next morning. That happened to be my husband’s birthday and I remember telling my surgeon that he couldn’t give up on me because of Chad’s birthday! I was able to get healthy and finally go home from the hospital after a three month stay and spend precious time with my newborn son. I was called four months later and received my heart transplant on April 22, 2009! We decided to celebrate every November because that is when I was put on the list, and that is the reason we are all a family today! Any time my son (Hunter) sees the Cinderella castle on Television, he says he wants to stay the night and it would be a “Dream Come True” for all of us to be able to celebrate this November, our four years together as a family!
It is such a special place and if everyone got to stay it wouldn’t be special anymore. I myself would love to stay there but, I know I never will. Disney World has built sooo many resorts that maybe it’s time they built an actual castle that is a resort you can stay in. That would be awesome! Other than that we just stayed at The Wilderness Lodge for our honeymoon and it was AMAZING!!! Totally worth all the money we spent. I highly reccomend it
The magic is in the park-not a room in a castle. Yes, it is beautiful and a perfect fairy tale room. I think it should be a make-a-wish suite. I’ll stick to enjoying all the other resorts and attractions
Staying in Cinderella’s castle would be a dream come true.
It has away s been my big dream to spend a couple nights at the Cinderella Castle Suite
I LOVE CINDERELLA!!!!!! I have the play set of Cinderellas castle and i just think how it would be to be in it. I love to go to the Disney store and buy lots of dolls!!!! But now i heard it is impossible to get in i have been crying 
.for 9 years i have had this dream and i saw this show that said there is a princess beauty salon i was dreaming so hard.this summer (2012) I just hope i at least get a tour or if a chance of 1 to 1millon i could get that very wish.Like what Cinderella said dreams do come true right?this is so so so sad im crying thank u for reading:) dreams do come true!!!! 
Mileena
Just saying i wish evryone who wants my same dream gets it DREAMS DO COME TRUE !!!!!!!!
Hi, I am all about Disney maybe is because the first time that I came to Walt Disney World I wasn’t born yet. No matter what age you are you just believe. Dreams come true, I’m 25 years old and found my prince charming. We are getting married In December and what a Magical place to celebrate our union and holiday with firework than in this magical place. My dream is to spend my honeymoon in this enchanted place, but how can I get that… I belive
Just renovate a suite of rooms to resemble the real thing.
My daughter just requested to sleep one night in the castle as her Make-A-Wish. We were just told that Disney is no longer allowing anyone to sleep in the castle so she has to have another dream. It was a serious let down for my daughter.
My little granddaughter, Hannah loves Cinderella. We are suffering from the loss of her brother, Matthew.
He was hit by a car while riding his bicycle, on March 18,2012, in Avon Park, Fl. Hannah is 3 and Matthew was 7. She misses him terribly and I wish I could take the pain away.
Hi, I have 3 beautiful princess a19,7and 2 year old, and when I promes the first one I will save at less a dollar every day to take her to Disney she was so happy….. But them came the Cinderella suite, omg, I say know I have to save more……for her and the 2 others, the 7 year old when she saw the video on tv, she cry, because she want me to take her, like is was around the Conner . I will love to make my daughters happy, please give me the opportunity of a night in you’re suite… Thank you
Simply put, an evening in Cinderella’s castle would be magical.
My daughter Breanna is 12 years old and is Avery special girl. Last summer she rescued 2 friends from drowning within one week of each other. One of these had a seizure. Breanna did all of this with a cast on her leg. Breanna is an advocate for making people aware that you can be friends with people who have seizure, don’t make fun of them. She also promotes how important swimming lessons are,. breanna was chosen as Sarnia newsmaker of the year as well as Ontario junior citizen of the year. She would love to spend a night in the castle .
I have 3 wonderful children they love disney. i would give anything to be able to tell them they can stay in a real cinderella castle and be real princess and prince for a night. i cant give them much but i would like to make all their dreams come true.
As my Brother and I try to plan our parents 50th wedding anniversary, we kept thinking, what could we do? What do they want or need? Then it hit us, it wasn’t about wants and needs, it was about what our Mother has always wished for…. to stay in Cinderella’s suite. I could write about the challenges, heartbreaks, trials and tribulations that our family has gone through, but in the end, I know there are people less fortunate than us. We are very blessed and fortunate to be where we are. I guess that’s why we never ask to be granted a wish. I hope you consider my parents, but whomever gets the opportunity to stay in Cinderella’s suite, we hope that it’s a magical event! ; )
Hello! My name is Erika and I’d like to share a little about myself and my dreams of Disney. I’m *cough31cough!* years old, engaged, college student with two fantastic dogs. I’m not super-special; I’m pretty normal and have a decent life — nothing fantastic, but I make every single day a little miracle. I’m a non-traditional student putting myself through college to (eventually) get a PhD in psychology to provide therapy to the Deaf community. I’ve been a Disney fan since I was three when I cried and had to be taken out of the movie theatre because Bambi’s mom was shot … My very first visit to Disney World was when I was 27 with my fiance and I’ve been saving every single penny since to make it back. Sadly, tuition costs and life always seems to upset the applecart. One day, we’ll get back there and I’ll float on dreams of staying the night in the castle, keeping my fingers crossed that I could be so lucky.
After having 4 boys of our own my dream came true and we were able to adopt a baby girl out of the foster system 2.5 years ago. I am such a girly girl, love all things princess, and pink. But with 4 boys, I turned my attention to sports, bugs, and climbing trees. Now that our family is blessed with this miracle little girl we are headed to Disney World to meet Cinderella. Our Abby is now 3 years old and is so excited to meet Cinderella. Her Nana is making her an exact replica of Cinderella’s dress to wear to Disney World. What a treat to win a stay in the castle. My fairy tale has already come true, with Prince Charming for my husband, 4 little Princes as sons and now a beautiful Princess for a daughter. But you can always add on the the fairy tale by adding a night at Cinderella’s Castle!
My wife and I have are the kids with our dogs, life has decided we are meant to be the best aunt and uncle to our nieces and nephew due to the fact after many years of trying and tens upon tens of thousands of dollars spent trying to have children we are unable, but that hasnt taken the spirit out of us, we spend alot of time at Disney World, days, weekends,Disney Cruises, Magic Kingdom, Food and Wine festival, we take my niece and nephew, and her niece and have been huge Disney fans since long before we met and now Disney is a passion we share, its the feeling we get as we walk through the turnstiles, and decide Monorail or Ferryboat and then the voyage across the water or through the Contemporary to the Magic Kingdom, or the excitement we shared on out first Disney Cruise or the enjoyment we have at the food and wine festivals, but what would ultimately make the memory of a lifetime would be spending a night in Cinderella’s Castle Suite. Disney just has that magical way of making you feel like a kid again every time you set foot in one of the parks it always brings you back to your first time at Disney World and what a way to celebrate that memory than with a night in Cinderella’s Castle Suite for my wife….
