Tucked away in a corner east of Sleeping Beauty castle, is this quiet, picturesque setting featuring Snow White's wishing well and a lovely grotto featuring marble statues of seven dwarfs and Snow White herself.
This heart-adorned bridge takes guests to this beloved spot, which was created in 1961 after an Italian sculptor made a gift of the marble statues to Walt Disney. John Hench created this tranquil spot to showcase the figures. One predicament needed to be solved, as all the figures were the same size, including Snow White, who should have been much taller.
The problem was solved by placing her at the top of the grotto to give the illusion that she was actually taller than the dwarfs.
Disney Imagineers designed the wishing well, which emits a soft rendition of "Some Day My Prince Will Come", sung by Adriana Caselotti from the animated film.
All coins tossed into the well are given to charity.

Every few minutes, music emanates from the well, and these fish come up and put on a show.
Nighttime is an especially magical time to visit the grotto.
