Right in the
heart of Disney Village is an enchanted Bavarian castle where
you can enjoy a traditional German dish in cosy and detailed
surroundings.  On your entrance and exit, you can also pick
up some great Bavarian and castle-themed souvenirs, and on sunny
days you can enjoy a drink in the outdoor terrace area.
This is King
Ludwig’s Castle, the newest restaurant experience in Disney
Village.

King
Ludwig�s Castle

Deep in the heart of Disney�
Village lies an enchanted castle where Bavarian cuisine is
served within a fairytale background of splendour and delight.
�Willkommen� to King Ludwig�s Castle!

You�ll live the story that
inspired Sleeping Beauty Castle and indulge in a selection of
taste sensations fit for a King. As a member of the royal court
you�ll dine in 19th century romantic splendour surrounded by
ornate carvings, wood panels and colourful flags heralding a
mouth watering feast to come.

Here�s one of the King�s men –
with a message in hand! �Gastronomic treats ahead.� First stop
Munich: Oktoberfest Style Pretzels with Sweet Mustard anyone?
Further east on the menu, a choice of Wiener Schnitzel or
Braised Mushrooms with Sp�tzl�s in cream sauce. Completed with
beer from the Royal Kaltenberg Brewery. Then for dessert, Your
Majesty has whipped up a sweet surprise – a happy ending to a
magnificent meal.

From sizzling starters to �mmm�
main courses, it�s a royal feast all year round at King Ludwig�s
Castle!

King Ludwig’s Castle was open to guests from late May 2003, but
had it’s official inauguration in early June 2003.  The
building was previously the “Rock N Roll America Caf�”, and King
Ludwig’s Castle clearly defined the “World Showcase” theme
Disney Village was adopting, instead of the former American
theme.
October 2002
King Ludwig’s Castle, a new Bavarian themed restaurant in
Disney Village, was announced to replace Rock N Roll America. 
The restaurant will be sponsored by the Kaltenberg brewery which
produces King Ludwig Beer and operated by Groupe Flo, which
already operates Caf� Mickey, the Steakhouse, Rainforest Caf�,
Annette’s Diner and New York Style Sandwiches.
