Castle of Magical Dreams is pink and reversed?

Very close. That particular castle is correct.

Edit: I am being more exact with my wording here when. I correct myself to say all castles are visually correct.

My only other guess is that the rose maze is with the wrong castle, but looks like Shanghai has one too?

Yeah, it's live action Alice in wonderland themed because China never released the original animation. #ShanghaiIsGonnaBeAMistakeInTheLongRun

Ding, ding, ding! You get a point! You found one of three (yes, three) things wrong with this accessory.

We may have to bring that one to the judges. I have the WDI Castles set (with the blue background) and noticed Hong Kong and DL had the same castle pin, so I dug this up. We need a ruling...

So far, Hong Kong Disneyland is the only park that's completely rebuilt its castle. Hong Kong Disneyland's castle looks completely different now. AP Photo/Kin Cheung Originally, Hong Kong Disneyland's castle was a replica of Disneyland's Sleeping Beauty Castle.
 
I noticed that as well when I was looking for the castles.

That's correct! Hong Kong rebuilt it's castle to the Castle of Dreams for its 15th anniversary. You get a point!

Which one is supposed to be Tokyo? Is it similar to MK?

Ding, ding, ding! You found the third thing wrong with the map! The absence of either WDW or Tokyo (I'm actually leaning toward WDW, bc the castle is pink rn). You get a point!

Fun fact about Tokyo Disneyland's Cinderella castle: when both are painted the same color palette, they usually make Tokyo distinct by adding snow on top!

I liked the Shanghai live action Alice maze and that it is different than the one in Disneyland Paris. I always hate when Disney feels like they have to make carbon copies of rides and/or attractions instead of building original content to make a park feel unique and incentivize folks to visit other parks (I’m looking at you, Ratatouille and Tron!).

It was neat going to Shanghai for a different Pirates ride or Disneyland for Guardians Mission Breakout and I like that they’re doing the new Guardians coaster in Epcot when it just as easily could have been a remake of the Crush coaster in Paris and probably would have fit in as an extension of the Seas pavilion.




 
It's not the live action part that I think was a detriment to the parks, it's the censorship. There's been a lot of movies that haven't released in China since the pandemic started, so there's less opportunity for growth within the country. With the current administration relying heavily on IP and IP getting censored, there's just no telling what projects got shelved or what's gonna happen in the long run that changed because, say Shang Chi or Spiderman, didn't get released.
