Sleeping Beauty's Castle, 1954-1956, Shared by medea1919

Any princess would be happy to live in this castle. medea1919 shares his Grandfather’s story of visiting Disneyland Park when it had just opened. His Grandfather, Vincent Baccarella and medea1919′s uncle John is seen here posing by Sleeping Beauty’s castle. I’m totally liking this photo, not only am I a fan of Disney, but Sleeping Beauty is defiantly a fave film and Disney princess. However I have never had the chance to visit  Disneyland – sad times.
