You build the LEGO Castle you’ve had since 2016, of course!

Jay bought me the LEGO Disney Castle, which is actually Cinderella Castle but that’s it’s official name on their website, for Christmas 2016. I never put it together because I knew we would eventually be moving and I doubted the castle’s ability to survive the move.
Well, we moved right before Christmas in 2018, and I honestly hadn’t found the right time to dedicate a day or two to building the castle, until I suddenly found myself stuck indoors with nothing but time on my hands. The perfect time to play with my LEGO set.
I decided to film it as a time lapse. I wish I had used a different angle but I didn’t realize the problem until I was too far along. Now I know for next time, if I ever get a ridiculously awesome large LEGO set again. (The Disney Train Set is still on the wedding registry for the record.)
While putting this together I watched: Tangled, Moana, Hercules, Aladdin, Ratatouille, Inside Out, Bolt, Wreck-It Ralph, Lilo and Stitch, and Princess and the Frog. All of those were on Disney+ except Bolt, which is on Netflix.
Building the LEGO Castle took me a little over 13 hours, spread over two days. It was an insane amount of fun, and now I’m already itching for another LEGO set to build. I do supposedly have the full set of Disney minfigures in blind bags to open, so that might be a future video.
Moving it to my desk was actually more stressful than building it. The Castle is built in three pieces that lock together, but it was hard to get them to snap together, and even harder to get them to stay together. The tower fell off as we were moving it and I had to do some emergency rebuilding.
