71040 The Disney Castle

At 4080 pieces, The Disney Castle is one the biggest sets we’ve made! Our designers put in painstaking work to recreate the iconic Walt Disney World® Resort Cinderella Castle in LEGO® form with startling accuracy. The set also has a bevy of special features inspired by various Disney's animated classics, and includes five familiar Disney characters in minifigure form! Check it out on LEGO.com.
 

Building Tips

The set has lots of amazing details and with the amount of parts used it can be easy to make mistakes. Make sure you’re following the instructions carefully!

We've heard some builders are having trouble with the construction of the roof. On page 230, steps 372 and 373, there’s a 1:1 guide that shows you exactly which size blue sloped brick you need to use. If you use the wrong ones at this step you won’t be able to complete the model.
 

‘Missing’ plate at step 558

There are a few Disney Castle instructions with a small printing error. They show 2 white 1x2 plates being added on page 360, step 558, but the plates don’t appear in the box of parts necessary for this step. These plates instead appear on the next step, page 361. This has been corrected in the online instructions here.
