I was fortunate enough to make a short visit to the Cinderella Castle Suite in Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World. This exclusive suite is available only to winners in the Year of a Million Dreams promotion. Almost every night now through the end of the promotion, one family will be randomly selected to spend the night in the Castle Suite.

So what's it like? Well, you enter through a secret doorway in the Castle, where you find yourself in a tiny but beautifully decorated anteroom that contains only a desk, a grandfather clock and an elevator. Soon you are whisked up in that private elevator, where you step out into a small round foyer. The floor of the foyer features a mosaic of Cinderella's pumpkin carriage. On one wall is a glass case containing Cinderella's crown and scepter.

After taking a moment to enjoy the elegant foyer, you'll enter the actual suite. A cozy bedchamber features beautiful hangings. Over a decorative fireplace hangs what appears to be a photograph of Cinderella -- but it's also a flat screen television.

Next door is a sitting room with a "magic mirror" that conceals yet another flat screen television. The suite also has an elaborate bathroom featuring lovely mosaic tilework, a deep spa tub and separate shower. Even the "throne" is... well, thronelike!

Guests lucky enough to win a stay in the suite have a fantastic view of the fireworks through the beautiful stained glass windows in the sitting room. They are featured in that day's parade and they are waited upon hand and foot by a special concierge. All in all, being a "Castle Suite Family" would be a very special experience!
