A Fairytale Interruption: Swapping Star Wars for the Centennial Disney Castle

Updated: Sep 20, 2023

Greetings, fellow LEGO enthusiasts and star travelers! It's your ever-jovial space builder Jon, here with a special bulletin from the LEGO universe. We decided to swap starfighters for fairytales, as Sylvya and I embarked on a magical journey leaving the galaxies far, far away to the enchanting world of Disney, all in honor of Disney’s 100th-year milestone. That’s right, we traded in our lightsabers for magic wands as we set our sights on the grandiose LEGO Disney Castle.


The Enchanting Beginning

As monumental as this shift might seem, Sylvya was buzzing with excitement, more than Anakin Skywalker in a podracer. She had already rounded up her squad of LEGO Disney villain minifigures, ready to stake their claim on the castle. In her eyes, the villains were prepped to run the show, adding a delightful twist to our building narrative. Let’s be honest, who wouldn’t want to see Ursula ruling the grand halls with Maleficent as her second in command?


From Space Stations to Castle Foundations


As we opened the box, it was like opening a portal to a world of magic and wonder, a far cry from our usual starship engagements. The foundations of the castle emerged brick by brick, as we delved into a world of vibrant colors, intricate details, and magical surprises. The Star Wars universe was momentarily eclipsed by towers and turrets reaching for the sky, a fairytale coming alive through our hands, each brick carrying a sprinkle of Disney magic.


A Villainous Takeover


Sylvya’s enthusiasm permeated the entire build. Her grand vision was coming to life, with the villain minifigures taking center stage. Hades took charge of the inferno in the fireplace, Scar prowled the halls while the Evil Queen kept an eye on everything from a tower. It was not just a build; it was a lively stage for dramatic encounters and wicked plots, a fresh and fiendishly fun narrative unraveling in our living room, led by the all-powerful Disney villains.


A Castle Illuminated with Disney Magic


As we progressed, we found that the castle was not just a structure; it was a beacon of stories, a collage of iconic Disney moments coming to life through LEGO bricks. The castle blossomed with secrets and nods to classic Disney tales, a heartwarming tribute to 100 years of Disney magic.


It became clear that this castle was not just a build but a testament to the rich tapestry of Disney's legacy, brought to life with a Jon and Sylvya twist. I must admit, seeing Sylvya so engrossed in crafting villainous narratives was like witnessing a master storyteller at work, adding a splash of chaos and fun to the majestic Disney castle.


A Fairytale Ending with a Twist


As we placed the final brick, we stepped back to admire our creation, a majestic structure bursting with stories, ready for villainous reigns and fairy-tale adventures. Sylvya’s squad of villains had successfully taken over, bringing a unique charm and a mischievous spirit to the grand Disney edifice.


Our living room transformed into a stage for wicked delights and villainous plots, a space where every day held the promise of a new story, a new adventure led by Disney's most iconic villains. Sylvya couldn’t be happier; her vision had come to life, a delightful mix of wicked fun and grandeur standing tall in our living room, ready to usher in a hundred more years of Disney magic with a sly, villainous smile.


Signing Off: To Infinity and Beyond!


As we bid adieu to this magical building adventure, we cannot help but feel a warmth in our hearts, a satisfaction of crafting stories and adventures, of bringing a touch of magic and a dash of wicked fun to our LEGO journey. It was a trip down the magical lanes of Disney, a departure from our galactic voyages, but a welcome and enchantingly wicked adventure.


Sylvya and I sign off with hearts full of fairy-tale adventures and heads buzzing with villainous plots, ready to explore new worlds, craft new stories, whether in galaxies far away or in magical kingdoms right here in our living room. Until the next adventure, fellow builders, may the magic be with you, always!


— Jon
