Disney Princess Ultimate Dream Castle

When we saw the Disney Princess Ultimate Dream Castle for the first time back at toy fair our mouths dropped to the floor and all we could say was….WOW!

The Disney Princess Ultimate Dream Castle is BIG, in fact this is the biggest castle that the Disney team have ever made and it’s the one toy that ever young princess is going to want this Christmas, all you need to do is make sure you have the room!

Set over 3 floors each room of this Disney Castle is themed to a different Disney character princess which includes Tiana, Belle, Jasmine, Ariel, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty and Cinderella. So starting at the bottom of the Castle, the door bell actually rings and the front doors of the castle can open.

Turning the Ultimate Castle around we first come to the kitchen area which is Tiana’s kitchen, where she can pretend to cook up a pot of gumbo just like she does in ‘The Princess and the Frog’. Moving on we have Belle’s dining room from the magical ‘Beauty and the Beast’, with magically moving character friends, just like in the ‘Be Our Guest’ scene from the movie. You also get some great features such as the Mrs Pots and Chip characters, as well as a table which features Lumiere, there is also a wheel button on the table that allows you to spin the characters around which is a fantastic feature!

Moving up at the side of the castle we have Jasmine’s elevator which is from Aladin and is really a magic carpet for whisking her to all the different floors! Then on the second level we have Ariel’s undersea bathroom which comes complete with real bubble sounds and a seashell tub, then in the middle of the ultimate castle we come to Snow White’s vanity, this section or room comes complete with a magic mirror, that when turned shows Snow White her beloved Prince Charming on the other side. Finally on this level we have Sleeping Beauty’s bedroom, where fairy godmothers fly above the bed and she can use the armoire to store her ball gowns.

Then on the otherside of this amazing Disney Ultimate Castle we have of course Cinderella’s staircase, where Cinderella can glide down the stairs before midnight-but look close and you’ll see she’s left her glass slipper behind.

On the top level of the Disney Dream Castle there is a spinning musical dance floor, but just make sure Cinderella leaves before midnight!

This really is a fantastic toy that fans of Disney are going to love and go crazy for, there is so many features and so much to do to keep children entertained. The Disney Dream Castle is very solid and well built and the whole playset really does feel magical.

My only note to parents is that the princess dolls are not included in this set, so they will have to be bought separatley and the Disney Castle does require x2 AA batteries which are not included.

Disney Tangled Sing and Glow Rapunzel Doll

The latest Disney animated feature Tangled has been a massive success at the cinema and the Disney Tangled toys have proved to be a real hit with young girls and parents, the latest Disney Tangled toy to be released in time for Christmas is the Disney Tangled Sing and Glow Rapunzel doll and we really love it!

This is a fantastic doll and the dress looks amazing, such detail and of course this is no ordinary doll, as you will already know this is a singing and glowing doll.

Just wait until you push the button on Rapunzel as a light comes on at the back making her very long bright yellow hair glow just like in the animated movie and she sings the “I See the Light” from the movie which is the most iconic song .

The doll itself is very much in the same mould as Barbie and the facial features are spot-on to the Rapunzel Character. With the Rapunzel doll you also get a magic wand that when waved brings Rapunzel to life with the song and glow and another fantastic feature is that Rapunzels stunning dress also twinkles.

The sound chip last for just under a minute and the quality is very clear and loud, which is sometimes a problem with dolls of this nature.

The Sing and Glow Rapunzel Doll does require batteries to work and these are supplied with the doll, but our advise would be to buy a fresh range of x3 AAA batteries.

Young Disney Tangled fans are going to love this fantastic toy and if your thinking about buying the Tangled Sing and Glow Rapunzel and want to find stockists and also the cheapest UK prices make sure you click on the banner above or below where you will be taken to the Top Xmas Toys Price comparison page.
