Disneyland 70 Castle Sculpture Now Hidden Behind Esplanade Walls

The staged takedown marks a planned rollback of anniversary displays while the 70th celebration runs through August 9, 2026.

Overview

  • Crews moved through a staged disassembly in mid-to-late July, and the Sleeping Beauty Castle–inspired sculpture is no longer visible above the construction walls on the esplanade.
  • Park teams removed prominent pieces first, with the towers and roof taken down earlier and stained-glass and arch elements disappearing in subsequent days.
  • Teal-blue construction barriers now surround the former display area and block sightlines between Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure.
  • Physical removal has outpaced some communications updates, as the sculpture still appears on the resort map and 70th-anniversary banners remain in place.
  • The sculpture was installed last year as the centerpiece and a guest photo backdrop for Disneyland 70, and the official celebration continues through August 9 with some entertainment running into late August.
