CLUB TRAVEL COMMUNITY
Sleeping Beauty’s Castle in Disneyland Hong Kong will be closed for a “facade refurbishment” for almost five months. According to the calendar on the park’s official website, the castle will be in maintenance from January 5 until May 30. The park has not yet confirmed any specific details about what they will do with the iconic castle. The castle is quite a big structure, but five months is a long time. There is a lot of speculation going on about the possibilities for this refurbishment. Will it just be the usual maintenance, or is there more to it? Anything is possible.
