One of the things Wilson did not like was that he had to spend $169.34 for a ticket just to enter Magic Kingdom, saying the price was, 'not cheap'

According to WDW Magazine, there are six Disney castles - one at each resort.

The 189-foot Castle in Orlando was built in 1977, and is the only one to offer an invitation-only overnight suite.

Cinderella castle also offers handcrafted glass mosaics, and the adorable children’s salon, Bibbidy Bobbidy Boutique.

Food lovers looking to eat in the castle are in luck with the location’s fabulous Cinderella’s Royal Table Restaurant.

However, like many Disney World restaurants, it is highly suggested that guests staying at a resort of visiting the park for one day should make reservations up to 60 days in advance.

When it comes to pricing, ticket cost can vary depending on the guest's age and the date of their visit, with tickets starting at $96 for an adult single day visit, and going up to $555 for a multi-day pass. For those who plan on bringing their families rather than enjoying the sites alone, the cost of tickets can add up quickly.

Another person who debated his opinion commented: 'I disagree. It's not just about the castle. It's the magic you feel when you walk in the environment the food feeling your young youth something magic.'

'Idk what you expected but massive. Disney height limits, Disney world is bigger (30,080 acres) then California (500 acres),' one user explained about what Wilson believes is a 'tiny' castle.
