Plot
Barney's friends are playing in Derek's backyard while building a sand castle. When they wish they could visit a real castle, Barney takes them to a magical forest. While using their imagination, beyond the gate lies a magical forest, filled with musical flowers.
After following the trail of castle signs, Barney and his friends take a break where they discover echos. They try echoing different silly sounds before an unknown voice responds to their echo, causing Barney and his friends to scurry off.
Later down the trail, Barney and his friends discover a bridge. Before crossing, Twynkle the Elf magically appears, informing the group that she was the voice they heard previously. Before allowing them to cross the bridge, she tells the group that they must do three things: solve a riddle about standing on one finger, perform to "Looby Loo", and be her friend. After completing the three tasks, the group crosses the bridge and approaches the castle gate. Twynkle informs the group that the castle will not open the gate until 3 o'clock. She leaves the group, returning to the bridge, while Barney and his friends wait for the castle to open.
Barney's friends pretend to have a horse race around the castle. After playing with the make-believe horses, the castle finally opens. Upon entering the castle, Barney and his friends meet the king, who has a special wish: he wants to go fishing. The group decides that the kids can watch the castle and Barney can wear the crown while the king is off fishing. The king happily leaves for his fishing trip.
Baby Bop joins the fun, and the group decides to have a royal tea party, filled with mother goose rhymes. After finding a trunk of musical instruments, the kids decide to put on a musical show for Barney and Baby Bop. Baby Bop goes home, and the king returns to the castle. The king makes the children princes and princesses of his castle, claiming that they can visit any time. Using their imagination, the kids pass through a castle door and return to Derek's backyard. Barney reminds his friends that they can feel like princes and princesses every day at home.
