The Lego Disney Castle Revealed!

Disney Cinderella Castle Main

Coming on September 1st, this 4,080 piece, £289.99 ($349.99 US) set is the gigantic, highly detailed set both Disney and Lego fans had hoped for. We had written about the rumours earlier this year, but this model of the Cinderella Castle from Walt Disney World Resort in Florida is now official as 71040.

Standing at an incredible 74cm high (even taller than Big Ben), 44cm wide and 31cm deep, the four-story main building and five-story main tower contain rooms inspired by various Disney feature films and characters. These include Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, The Sorcerer’s Apprentice, Aladdin, and more. There’s even spots to shoot fireworks from, so you can recreate that true Disney Resort experience (crushing crowds and stifling heat not included).

You also get five minifigures, Mickey Mouse with tuxedo, Minnie Mouse in a red dress, Donald Duck in his classic outfit, Daisy Duck with a pink skirt and Tinker Bell with skirt, wings and magic wand. Of course if you collected any of the recent set of series 18 Disney minifigures, then they’ll look great inside too.

When I wrote about the rumours of this set earlier in the year, I was concerned that they just wouldn’t do it justice. It’s too big and too detailed in real life, and I didn’t think they would really go all out. How wrong I was! This is an incredible looking set, a huge display piece for Lego and Disney fans, an interesting looking build without too much repetition (I’m looking at you Big Ben) and another one that I have absolutely no room for.
