The castle isn’t as big as it looks, sorry. The Imagineers used a clever trick called “forced perspective” to make the castle seem absolutely enormous. They did this in two ways. The higher towers are actually smaller, making them look farther away. They also designed the buildings on Main Street to get shorter and shorter the closer they are to the castle, making the castle seem even taller than it actually is.
