    Acquistato questo castello delle principesse poco prima di natale dopo che lo tenevo sott’occhio da tempo sia su Amazon che nei negozi fisici.
    Prezzo di listino circa 170, decisamente troppi.
    Con un’offerta lampo lo sconto di circa il 40% non me lo sono fatto scappare.
    Montaggio di circa un ora tutto ad incastro, le mie bimbe sono rimaste molto contente.
    Dimensioni importanti quando montato.

    One very happy girl. Amazing castle !
    Didn’t take too long to build. The light up fireworks were a nice surprise.

    Quando mia figlia lo ha visto letteralmente impazzita di gioia.
    Ci ha giocato per 7 giorni di fila senza cambiare mai gioco.
    facile da montare (l’ho fatto con mio nipote di 10 anni) ed veramente bello, curato e appariscente.

    Ce chteau a ravi ma fille de 4 ans. Elle a t merveille par la taille, les accessoires , et les effets lumineux et sonores . C’est vraiment un 5 toiles pour l’merveillement. Par contre en tant que parent la notice n’est parfois pas trs clair (surtout pour les diffrentes pointes du chteau) mais reste facile monter . Et le chteau est trs imposant dans une petite chambre. Mais sinon c’est un chteau parfait pour petite princesse .

    Parents, do not underestimate the size of this castle! I’m glad we talked out little girl out of putting this on her Christmas list last year, before we moved to a house with a bigger bedroom for her! The thing is HUGE!

    Also, do not underestimate how long it will take to put together! It comes in a LOT of little pieces!!

    But all worth it to see her face on Christmas morning!

    122cm tall, the overall looks quite resistant but it got some little spare parts quite fragile. The swing looks nice but there is no way my daughter play with it without unbuild it so I just use it in the sofa mode. Fireworks are quite interesting .

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersFirst.make you sure you click that this is a gift because this was my daughters present and when it was delivered it was in the original packaging so I had to hurry and get out of the car and hide it from her.
    Second.prepare to spend some time putting this together. My husband spent over an hour putting this bad boy together. It was pretty sturdy but the organization of the parts was horrible. They just kind of threw everything in a box and it was like a scavenger hunt trying to find the pieces. It would have been nice if they were bagged and labeled making it easy to grab.
    This will all be worth it in the morning when my daughter wakes up and sees it but phew be prepared to work.

    Todo bien con el producto! El empaque si deja mucho que desear. Al ser una caja grande, Amazon no lo protege en absoluto y eso provoca que llegue golpeado. En mi caso era un regalo de cumpleaos y tuve que pedir reemplazo porque la primera caja si pareca que vivi toda una aventura antes de llegar a mis manos. La segunda llego menos golpeada. Ah! Y el retorno del primer paquete igual todo un show, como no es caja chica fue una odisea llevarlo a la sucursal de paquetera para retornarla.

    Got this for my granddaughter who was craving one for her birthday. She was over the moon with it which was the main thing. Her mum said very easy to put together but I still think it’s way to expensive for what it is

    I bought this along with the Cinderella doll in the same series. She received other princess dolls. She plays with it all the time and makes up lots of imaginary stories. We made up the castle in advance and she unwrapped the box on her birthday , then like magic the castle was there. It took a good hour plus to put it together and I’m not sure she could have waited that long

    This thing is HUGE! And I mean, HUGE. It was so much fun to build (if you enjoy that kind of thing) and the instructions are really easy to follow. I had the whole thing up in around 45 minutes. The furniture is the perfect size for the Disney Princess dolls, and all the little accessories are very cute. It’s sturdy, robust and all the elements are great quality so you can tell it’s going to last.
    The price we purchased at (pre-Christmas 2021) was a little more than we were hoping to pay, but after seeing it all built up and the look of JOY on my daughter’s face made it totally worth it. Oh, and the fireworks window display is the pice de rsistance. It’s really quite magical.

    My 6yo was happy with it an plays for hours with her dolls. The tiny pieces like spoons etc are easily lost. It’s a lot of money for the castle considering it’s just plastic.. but it’s massive and my daughter is happy with it, so worth it on the end.

    This toy castle was easy to put together, HOWEVER, lots and lots of parts though so it is time consuming and instructions kinda suck to try to put some of the stickers it comes with. You kinda have to depend on the images that is on the box and in the instruction manual to figure out where to stick the stickers.

    Definitely large so if you don’t have a fairly large room to place this in, it’s going to take up a lot of your real estate.

    Golden Review Award: 4 From Our UsersHier gab es das Schloss fr eine 6-jhrige zu Weihnachten. Ein voller Erfolg!
    Wer strahlende Kinderaugen sehen mchte, macht alles richtig.
    Das groe ABER zum Anfang. Ich finde den vergnstigten Preis angemessen, um 100 – vielleicht auch 125. Ich htte mich sehr gergert, wenn wir den regulren Preis bezahlt htten. Wer sich ein bisschen mit Barbiehusern oder -Schlssern beschftigt, wei dass sie oftmals viel Kosten fr “das bisschen Plastik”.
    Bei dem AngebotsPreis von Amazon macht man aber alles richtig.
    Das Schloss stand lange auf der Wunschliste, zu Weihnachten wurde der Wunsch dann von der gesamten Familie erfllt. Der Aufbau erfolgt gemeinsam an Weihnachten mit der 6-jhrigen und war vergleichsweise zgig erledigt (unter 1 Stunde).
    Die liebevollen Details waren fr uns der ausschlaggebende Punkt. Unsere Tochter liebt die Geschichten von Belle, Cinderella, Tiana und Co., diese wurden auch direkt nachgespielt. Dennoch bietet das Schloss so viel Mglichkeiten fr freie Spielgeschichten und ist mittlerweile auch bei den Freundinnen sehr beliebt.
    Allerdings muss man sich bewusst sein, das es schon eine groe Grundflche einnimmt, sobald es dann noch zu zweit mit einer Barbiekiste dazwischen bespielt werden soll braucht man Platz.
    Bei uns war alles vollstndig und das abspielbar Feuerwerk natrlich das Highlight. Die Musik ist nicht zu laut und nicht zu lange.

    Fazit: Tolle Spielsttte fr kleine Prinzessinen und Disneyfans

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersI bought this for my girls for Christmas ’21. It is a really nice house. I assembled this on my own and I’m fairly decent at assembly, but it took a long time. Beware, there are a LOT of pieces thrown in the box, and you will have to dig and compare to the instructions to ensure you have the right piece. The pieces do have a number labeled on them fwiw. They did fit easily together though, so if you are struggling with anything, chances are, you’re doing it wrong. I will note that adding the second floor did take a lot of maneuvering. Also the swing falls off a lot.
    The box also is not in an Amazon box, so try totrack when you’ll receive. I got mine when my girls were at school and managed to hide it before they saw it.

    I like the purchase but I wish I saw the Kidkraft version, which allows for the castle to be closed up. It’s a personal preference because I like how tidy that looks, but I didn’t see that option at the time of purchase. The girls love this castle and are excited to play with it everyday

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersIn una parola: meraviglioso. Tuttora non so se il regalo in realt sia stato per mia figlia o per me!!
    davvero molto molto bello e curato in ogni dettaglio: dalla torre di Rapunzel, al bagno decorato con elementi marini (Ariel), alla cucina che richiama lo “stia con noi” di Belle, alla camera con l’armadio di Cenerentola. Il tocco in pi poi il gioco di suoni e luci che simulano i fuochi d’artificio. Un sogno vero.
    Certo, a prezzo pieno molto caro – ma grazie al Black Friday io l’ho acquistato a 118.
    Lo raccomando fortemente per lasciare a bocca aperta qualunque bambina!

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersThis is a fantastic Disney Princess castle. We got this for my nieces for Xmas so I can’t give a descriptive review. I will say even the box is so good. The castle stands at four feet high with three stories so quite big.

    Luckily with the price that this is you get furniture included. You also get accessories but be careful as you don’t get dolls.

    This is a brilliant and beautiful castle that would make a lot of little ones dreams come true.

Its quite large which occupied all her different Disney dolls. The best feature is the fireworks display and the sounds, she really loves it. These is a fab grand gift to any girls, birthday or these coming Christmas.

    Golden Review Award: 21 From Our UsersMy 3 year old granddaughter loves the Disney princesses, so we bought her this castle. There are no dolls included so be sure to order at least one. When the box arrived it looked a bit beat up and I was a worried about the insides. Fortunately, all the parts were present and in perfect shape. I have to say, there are a LOT of parts. The first thing I did was make sure all of the parts were present. I highly suggest doing this because it gives you an idea about the parts when you start putting the castle together. It does take some time, but I didn’t want to be halfway thru and find out an important part was missing. The instructions are picture only, but all the parts are numbered. The parts snap together firmly. When it’s finally together, the castle is sturdy. My wife and I picked up the castle to hide it and didn’t have any issues with it falling apart. It’s actually a very nice looking castle and for the money is a good deal. It took my about 2 hours to assemble it which includes checking the parts.

    Golden Review Award: 6 From Our UsersAn excellent product for your kids. I was amazed by how well this was packaged with so much care and thought. A lot has gone into manufacturing this product and getting it sent to the customer. The actual product is great in size, looks very nice and realistic for the kids. The material of each and every aspect contained within the product is top quality, and it can not be faulted. It is not fragile at all, it is actually quite compact and strong when put together. It is very easy to put together, it is quite clear and easy to follow. A link can be found on youtube which shows you what to do.

    Inside should be 6 Rooms, 3 Stories, 29 Accessories and a 360 Degree Pla. So there is so much to do and keep your children occupied and busy. The main thing I would say is, because it is such a big product, ensure you have the space to store this and to build this. It will make your princesses day and it is a gift they will remember for a very long time, it is one of those ones that definitely stands out. The moment is was unpackaged, we were all in awe.

    The colours of each item is beautiful and fits the theme. Overall, the kids really loved this product and definitely worth it, as there should not be a price on your kids happiness! Very satisfied.

    This set is a massive 4ft tall 3ft wide princess castle. It is seriously impressive in size. Its contains 6 bedrooms over 3 stories and comes with 29 accessories.

    Actually assembling the castle was seriously easy. Although it could be years of building these types of things. It took about 40 minutes once all the stickers were added, those are always the trickiest ascpects. Mess one up and it’ll haunt you for as long as you have the toy!

    You can push a button for a light show with some music. It’s perfect for Disney dolls or any other kind. If you’re like my family you’ll probably have a bunch of them already. If not they go for around 10.

    It does take up a bit of space so bare that in mind. Oh and make sure you have plenty of space to build it as well.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersIf you are considering this as a purchase do take time to think about how much space it needs and whether it is moveable enough around your home. I strongly recommend going to YouTube where you can find an assembly advice video as well as a video review. On top of the cost of the castle, you’ll need Princesses – typically 10 each.
    It’s arrived! Don’t open the box until you have time to do a proper job assembly. You’ll need to be patient as there is a lot to do. Make a good working space on the floor and not where someone might accidentally tread on pieces.
    Lay out the pieces by number ( a boon that the parts are numbered). Followed the instructions religiously and don’t try short cuts. Add the stickers before any assembly. Make certain each piece is clicked otherwise problems later.
    If you’ve done it all right, you have a great castle for your loved little one to have hours of fun. It’s an alternative to a Dolls House but you might consider that instead – less work and less cost possibly.

    Golden Review Award: 10 From Our UsersThis princess castle is amazing! We were a little overwhelmed with the amount of peices to assemble but the instructions were very easy to follow and each peice even down the tiniest peice has been numbered into the plastic so you can never be unsure about which part goes where. It took me and my husband an hour to put it together including sticking all the stickers on, and when it was finished it looked incredible! It is very well made and strong, and it is so grand of a castle in its size that it is worth every penny. Even the furnishings and added accessories are high quality. Everything is made to fit disney princess dolls or others like it and my children absolutely love it. They played with it non stop when they got home from school. Obviously, make sure you have space for a toy this large before buying as it is 4ft tall about 3ft wide. Oh and the firework display is brilliant! An amazing play castle fit for princesses and princes!

    Golden Review Award: 10 From Our UsersI was so excited to get this castle that I couldn’t wait to build it.

    There is an excellent assembly video posted by the manufacturer on YouTube which really helped me to easily get the build right first time.
    I have not included the link here as it is against the rules to link outside Amazon, but you can easily find it by searching – it’s called Disney Princess Ultimate Celebration Castle: Step by Step Assembly Instructional Video.
    There are also paper instructions included in the box which are pretty clear; I just found the video easier to follow.

    Following the video, it took me just over an hour & a half to get everything done, from opening the box, unpacking the pieces, adding the stickers & then actually putting everything together.
    The result is just gorgeous & so big.
    I didn’t realise how big that would be when it was assembled in front of me but wow, this is one big castle.
    There is room for a dozen dolls to hang out here.
    I measured it at 3ft 4″ (1m2cm) wide from swing to staircase, 4ft 3″ high floor to top of highest finial (1m30cm) & about 1ft 6″ ((46cm) at the deepest point measuring from beginning of front step to balcony in bedroom.

    I found that if a piece wasn’t easy to click together, it meant I hadn’t got everything lined up correctly, so if something seems difficult you’ve probably got one of the tongues misaligned with the place it needs to slot into.
    You do need to make sure you hear those clicks though. That way you know it’s properly clipped together.
    I’m really impressed with the thought that has gone into the build.
    There are 13 stickers you need to add. They are really nicely printed & it’s easy to find where they go (which is shown in the instructions anyway) because there are moulded smooth areas the correct shape for each sticker for you to put them in.
    I’ve put a lot of things together & regard stickers as my nemesis but these were easy to put on nicely because if you line up the bottom of the sticker, it goes on very easily & the stickers are basically the same size as the shapes.
    There are also 3 stiff card inserts (the clock face, a rose window high up in one of the towers & the wardrobe)
    Although the instructions said to put those bits in after building the castle, if I was doing it again I would add them when I was doing the stickers.
    You also need to remember that you need 3 AAA batteries to install in the middle floor window so you can enjoy the Fireworks show.

    The multicoloured fireworks are absolutely beautiful, especially if you dim the lights in the room.
    They are easily visible even in full light however so you don’t need to do that.
    You press the button by the window & a song (piano only, 2 different melodies) plays for about 20 seconds each time while the fireworks explode across the windows behind the bed – there are firework sound effects too.
    They only show from the back of the castle, although some light does bleed through to the front when the effect is on.

    The walls & floors of the castle are stunning.
    There are roses climbing up the brickwork on the outside (raised images on the plastic, I am sorely tempted to paint the roses & some of the other embellishments)
    The floor of each ‘room’ has a different floor pattern and being a Ultimate Celebration Castle, there is gold everywhere.
    Every roof, the crenellations, the finials, the chandelier, as trim on the (working but not real glass so not a perfect reflective surface) mirrors & so many other little touches.

    The only mistake I made was with the staircase – check that the pillar for the stairs is the right way up before putting the stairs in. It should have a square bit at the bottom to click into the base.
    I had to turn ALL my stairs around as I’d put them in upside down.

    Your Disney Princesses can cook a choice of 2 meals (stickers) – there are eggs & pancakes (might be omelettes? Let your imagination decide) for breakfast, or if they are expecting visitors they can cook some flower & crown shaped cookies.
    There’s a little tea set for 2 included and a cooking pot or a cake which you could put into the oven as the main door opens.
    There is perfume, a hand mirror & a comb for the vanity & a pretty lilac & gold patterned cover for the bed.

    I found this a really uplifting toy.
    Like all similar toys it sort of looks sparse if you just think about how many items there are, but as you examine the details (which children always do seem to pick up in the imaginative play this sort of toy encourages) you’ll find Aladdins lamp is hidden on one of the towers, or that the books & the candlestick embossed in the room at the top make it the perfect place for a Princess to chill out (especially if you have moved the swing up there to be a sofa – it fit perfectly in the recess.
    So much thought has gone into these details & I couldn’t be more delighted with this.
    Watching the fireworks made me feel that sense of wonder children experience so easily.

    My only criticism?
    The music is a bit too loud for my taste.
    I wish I could turn it off & just have the fireworks with their sound effects.

    Every little girl (& big ones who still love dolls) should have a castle like this where her imagination can fly free.

    There are 13 stickers you need to add. They are really nicely printed & it’s easy to find where they go (which is shown in the instructions anyway) because there are moulded smooth areas the correct shape for each sticker for you to put them in.
    I’ve put a lot of things together & regard stickers as my nemesis but these were easy to put on nicely because if you line up the bottom of the sticker, it goes on very easily & the stickers are basically the same size as the shapes.
    There are also 3 stiff card inserts (the clock face, a rose window high up in one of the towers & the wardrobe)
    Although the instructions said to put those bits in after building the castle, if I was doing it again I would add them when I was doing the stickers.
    You also need to remember that you need 3 AAA batteries to install in the middle floor window so you can enjoy the Fireworks show.

    The multicoloured fireworks are absolutely beautiful, especially if you dim the lights in the room.
    They are easily visible even in full light however so you don’t need to do that.
    You press the button by the window & a song (piano only, 2 different melodies) plays for about 20 seconds each time while the fireworks explode across the windows behind the bed – there are firework sound effects too.
    They only show from the back of the castle, although some light does bleed through to the front when the effect is on.

    The walls & floors of the castle are stunning.
    There are roses climbing up the brickwork on the outside (raised images on the plastic, I am sorely tempted to paint the roses & some of the other embellishments)
    The floor of each ‘room’ has a different floor pattern and being a Ultimate Celebration Castle, there is gold everywhere.
    Every roof, the crenellations, the finials, the chandelier, as trim on the (working but not real glass so not a perfect reflective surface) mirrors & so many other little touches.

    The only mistake I made was with the staircase – check that the pillar for the stairs is the right way up before putting the stairs in. It should have a square bit at the bottom to click into the base.
    I had to turn ALL my stairs around as I’d put them in upside down.

    Your Disney Princesses can cook a choice of 2 meals (stickers) – there are eggs & pancakes (might be omelettes? Let your imagination decide) for breakfast, or if they are expecting visitors they can cook some flower & crown shaped cookies.
    There’s a little tea set for 2 included and a cooking pot or a cake which you could put into the oven as the main door opens.
    There is perfume, a hand mirror & a comb for the vanity & a pretty lilac & gold patterned cover for the bed.

    I found this a really uplifting toy.
    Like all similar toys it sort of looks sparse if you just think about how many items there are, but as you examine the details (which children always do seem to pick up in the imaginative play this sort of toy encourages) you’ll find Aladdins lamp is hidden on one of the towers, or that the books & the candlestick embossed in the room at the top make it the perfect place for a Princess to chill out (especially if you have moved the swing up there to be a sofa – it fit perfectly in the recess.
    So much thought has gone into these details & I couldn’t be more delighted with this.
    Watching the fireworks made me feel that sense of wonder children experience so easily.

    My only criticism?
    The music is a bit too loud for my taste.
    I wish I could turn it off & just have the fireworks with their sound effects.

    Every little girl (& big ones who still love dolls) should have a castle like this where her imagination can fly free.
