These Photos of Sunrise at Disney Parks Around the World Remind Us 'There's a Great, Big, Beautiful Tomorrow' (Video)

There’s something magical about walking down Main Street, U.S.A., and catching a glimpse of the castle at Disneyland or Magic Kingdom. Even though the parks are indefinitely closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, you can still take in beautiful views of Disney resorts across the world without leaving your couch.

On March 30, Thomas Smith, editorial content director of Disney Parks, shared a collection of photos of Disney resorts at sunrise on the company blog. From the pink towers at Disneyland Paris to Magic Kingdom's iconic castle set against a backdrop of blue and purple skies, these photos remind us of all the beauty and magic you can find at the parks.

In the post, Smith says, “Sunrise is a magical time. Whether it’s watching the sun climb up and over the mountainous landscape at Aulani – A Disney Resort & Spa or seeing rays of light frame the castle spires at Magic Kingdom Park, each of our locations offers its own inspiring early morning views.”

These photos also highlight the interesting differences in Disney parks across the globe, featuring the special touches that make each castle unique, yet quintessentially Disney.

These photos are sure to bring back fond memories and have you looking forward to new experiences once the parks reopen. As Smith says in the post, “There’s a great, big, beautiful tomorrow, just a dream away.”
