How long has the Cinderella Castle color scheme been absent?

 

[Animaniac93-98]

That's unexpected good news! The rose gold fad is long over

It was arguably over by the time they painted it in 2020

I hope they cover it in scaffolding for a THOROUGH exterior refurb while they’re at it.. instead of just a paint job alone..

I’m assuming this happens after the holiday season?

So glad this is happening. I expected it to happen by the 60th but glad they are not waiting for that. Fingers crossed the Dreamlights will return at some point.

Anyone know when this project starts end when it’s suppose to end?

Finally! What a pleasant surprise.

I assume for the purpose of the concept art, but there’s quite a lot of greenery in the hub? It won’t happen, but a return of the central hub trees would be fantastic.

While they are at it, Disney should install some sort of permanent lighting so the Dreamlights can return.

They'll do that right after they bring back the Lights of Winter.

Why the relatively sudden change?

Well with Inflation costs are up… plus if you go back to the original tone most won’t even notice when it’s very sun bleached. It has the added benefits from the peanut gallery that cuts down on the noise and allows for actual guest comments.

I was there in August 2020 when this recolor opened basically. No joke, it always looked like a 3D puzzle so I never really liked it.

In particular like this, the blues just looked like a huge sore thumb to me. Maybe the weather has degraded it a bit but I always preferred the original color scheme.

Did they give a reason/excuse as to why now? Seems embarrassing on their part and unlike Disney to admit to the original being a mistake....
