Did you know that beneath Sleeping Beauty's Castle lies a mysterious secret? A hidden passage leads to a dark cave where an animated dragon awaits!

Hidden beneath the enchanting pink towers of the Sleeping Beauty Castle at Disneyland Paris lies a mechanical legend — a massive animatronic dragon resting deep underground. A closely guarded secret of the park, this magical creature captivates visitors who dare to explore The Dragon’s Lair.

To explore it, you'll need to slip through a discreet entrance on the left side of the castle. This leads into a dark, subterranean chamber shrouded in mystery, where a legendary creature lies beneath. In the heart of the cavern, shrouded in shadow, rests a massive, slumbering dragon. Every so often, it slowly opens an eye, lets out a deep rumble, and exhales a puff of smoke.

This is an animatronic figure exceeding 27 meters in length (from head to tail), making it the largest animatronic sculpture ever created when the park opened in 1992. This hidden detail is exclusive to Disneyland Paris: it cannot be found in any other Disney park around the world!

Next time you venture into the enchanting world of Disney, don’t forget to uncover the hidden secret lying beneath the Sleeping Beauty Castle!
