Have you ever gazed up at the castle and wondered who gets to go up in there? While the castle at Disneyland in California has a walk-through attraction that features Sleeping Beauty, it does not have any place to stay during the night. At Walt Disney World, the Cinderella Castle has an entire suite ready for ultra VIPs to stay.
As we discuss in our article on how much a night in the Cinderella Castle Suite costs, this priceless experience is not bookable. Occasionally, there will be special contests and sweepstakes offering the very rare opportunity to stay in the Cinderella Castle Suite.
The Cinderella Castle Suite is located four stories above the park in the Cinderella Castle, a 17th-century designed space with beautiful furniture and fabrics, stained glass, an antique limestone fireplace, and a mirror that transforms into a television. The regal space looks exactly like what you would envision the interior of this iconic castle to be, and staying in this suite is an incredibly unique experience, as it is not available for the general public to book. Here is a more detailed look inside the Cinderella Castle Suite.
Right now, there is a special contest running where you can win the opportunity to stay in the Cinderella Castle Suite with the proceeds going to a great cause. Keep reading for more details!

To be defined as a sweepstakes and be legal in the US, as this organization is doing, the following must happen:
1.Consumers must not be required to pay to enter. There must be a free, alternative means of entry (“AMOE”).
2.Eligibility requirements must be spelled out.
3. Odds of winning must be disclosed.
The contest rules must specify the number and type(s) of prize(s) to be awarded.
4. Sweepstakes start and end dates must be detailed.
There are quite a few of these missing, so technically, this is not a legal sweepstakes.
A free alternative means of entry should be provided, and odds of winning as well, even if it is for charity.
This isn’t a negative post; but pure facts. People should be informed on whether to make the decision to enter, based on the fact that as presented, this isn’t a legal sweepstakes in the US.
