According to the Walt Disney Family Museum, Herb didn't like it. So the story goes: "Ryman studied Joerger’s model, which was built to split in half, and said, 'What if we take it and move it around like this?' He picked up the top half of the castle and turned it to face the other way, so that the back of the model became the front. The Imagineers panicked; Walt was due any moment. 'Turn it around, put it back,' Ryman recalled them saying. But when Walt entered the room, he was impressed. 'Walt looked over and he goes, "Hey, that looks good—let's do it that way!"'

This exact image of Walt Disney with the Sleeping Beauty Castle model was featured in promotional materials when Disneyland opened in 1955 (see pic), and video footage exists from theDisneylandTV show's debut on October 27, 1954 (watch below). An official "Walt Disney Productions" copyright stamp appears on reverse.
