Essentially, the main structure in this line of Disney is on an 8x8 Plate. That Plate can be swapped with larger sets, (ie removing towers or sections of the castle), and then adding the one you want in its place. There are currently 5 sets out in this fashion; new Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty castles, Mulan and Frozen smaller sets and the Ariel boat (41151, 41152, 41153, 41154, 41155) Castles are set up so the towers are on the 8x8 architecture and can easily be swapped out, much like the newish Modular homes in the Creator line.

Even within each set, you have a B&S function. See the 2 plates under the bookcase on the front? The idea is that you can swap out either of the two 2x4 Plates that are meant to look like an Easel and the other, a stand for the Frog. and make the set more playable.

Many thanks. I looked up the rest of the Disney sets just now. Clever idea.
