Do you mean the inside of the castle, or do you mean the dragon? :) The castle will definitely be open, and I think the dragon will be, too.

I meant both  ;) that's some great news! I love these walkthroughs!

DisneylandParis from Micechat.com has posted a new picture:



In my opinion it looks fantastic, although two spires are still missing. I think it will take some time to put all the gold on it.

There's no noticeable changes since the last photo we've had, but that one really shows off the colour! :)

I've never actually ever seen that bottom bit open to guests. It's always locked when I go IIRC.

Forgive me if I'm being a complete dunce but what is the dragon part? Is the dragon still under the castle?

I went in 1992 and can vividly remember seeing the dragon with the smoke coming out of it's nose, on my return in 2009 I was sad to see it had gone. But is it actually still there  :shock:  ? Oooh....

It is still there, it has never gone away (although it is sometimes closed for refurb).
since 2001 (many before that)

Just back from DLP, and the front of the castle is looking spectacular. Still work going on at the back, and this week unable to go upstairs, but dragon, shops and walkthrough still open. I will post photos once I have sorted through them. Very encouraging level of refurb activity going on all over the park!

Yes, I think they were still refurbing the upstairs part. I think you were a couple of days early, because the scaffolding at the back is starting to come down. :)

Here's some new pics from InsideDLParis:

This has cheered up my day. 1 week to go before our trip and there still seems to be a lot of refurb going on (how annoying is it that they only list the refurbs going on with the rides?... not why I go to Disneyland...). At least the castle is free, if still missing a few bits.
