La Galerie de la Belle au Bois Dormant

In May 2026, the route to La Galerie de la Belle au Bois Dormant temporarily changed because of major work on the castle. Disneyland Paris installed tall white construction fences in front of Le Château de la Belle au Bois Dormant while the crumbling bridge in front of the castle underwent a thorough renovation. According to Looopings, it was the first time since 2010 that the bridge received such extensive work.

For gallery visitors, access was the key point. The castle remained open, including La Galerie de la Belle au Bois Dormant on the first floor, but guests had to enter from the rear. The work also affected the evening show Disney Tales of Magic, which was temporarily performed without fountains; drones had already disappeared from the show earlier.

The report shows how strongly the walkthrough is tied to the castle as a building. The gallery is not a standalone attraction with its own independent entrance, but part of the heart of Disneyland Park. When the infrastructure around the castle changes, the way visitors experience this fairytale gallery changes as well.

In November 2024, La Galerie de la Belle au Bois Dormant drew attention outside the walkthrough itself. At the Disneyland Hotel, an exclusive replica went on sale of a recognizable stained-glass window from the castle gallery. The decorative piece shows the kiss between Prince Phillip and Sleeping Beauty, a scene from the 1959 animated film that appears as an original window inside the gallery.

The price made the story stand out: 1,790 euros. According to Looopings, fifty copies were produced by a French glass artist and offered in the Royal Collection Boutique. In the shop window, the panel was displayed on a stand, but that stand was not included in the sale.

For visitors and fans, the news underlined what makes the gallery special within Disneyland Paris. La Galerie is not just a passage through the castle, but a place where craftsmanship, film history and European castle romance meet. The fact that one detail from the walkthrough could become a luxury collectible says a lot about the value fans attach to its artwork.
