Guests visiting the Walt Disney World Resort are not only in for a thrilling experience with attractions like Space Mountain and Expedition Everest, but also a visual experience with all of the incredible theming.
From the themed stores in Batuu at Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge to the incredible attention to detail in EPCOT’s World Showcase, Disney guests have a plethora of amazing visual treats to choose from.
Perhaps the most famous example of visual theming in any Disney Park is the iconic castle that sits at the end of Main Street, U.S.A in the Magic Kingdom.
Standing tall at 183 feet, Cinderella Castle is a landmark for Magic Kingdom and the entire Walt Disney World Resort. The castle can be seen from multiple areas in Magic Kingdom, reminding guests where they are.
However, in a famous years-old social media post, Magic Kingdom’s iconic castle vanished out of thin air.
In a TikTok posted by ResortTV1 (@resorttv1), guests ended their day in a foggy haze at the Magic Kingdom in Walt Disney World. This fog engulfed Cinderella Castle, making it virtually disappear from the park.

As seen in the video, the Cinderella Castle vanished from guests’ sight due to a mixture of fog and fireworks that happened that night. The video was posted around New Year’s Eve so it’s likely the fog could have actually just been smoke from the huge display of fireworks.
This is certainly something you don’t see everyday, which is why this video is so remarkable.
