MK Cinderella Castle Set to Return to Classic Color Scheme

[Simon83079]

Triet K. Nguyen on X has a prediction for the colour scheme if they opt to keep the brick the same colour and be going for that darker royal blue

Tbh I dont think its bad. But I think the gold is too dark of a gold for the brighter grey and whites. It needs to be a bright gold imo. And this darker roof is certainly new. So far not a lot is marrying up to the concept art so im thinking the plans changed from what was announced. Most certainly a budget cut to not repaint the brick. But why the dark royal blue instead of the almost teal blue from the concept art?

this is still a vast improvement over the color scheme that has been there for the past 5 years.

It must be very interesting to be one of the workers painting the castle and getting to be inside, along the upper walls, etc. Super cool behind-the-scenes experience!

They used to offer a photo package where you were allowed to be “up close” with certain parts of the castle. IIRC.

It's cool, but not for the faint of heart. There's a variety of trip and fall hazards, pyro launchers (all disarmed while they're working, of course), wires, speakers, lasers, exhaust, you name it. They also usually require fall protection when working in areas like some of the painters are.

The side facing Liberty Square has more paint today

Looking at that space down there next to the castle, makes me wish they did something like at Disneyland Paris and put a landscaped hill there with topiary and waterfalls, and then had a Cinderella walk-through like the Sleeping Beauty Castle walk-through at Disneyland.

It's not as glamorous inside parts of it as you'd think

We can split hairs about what words to use, but its cool to see this.

There used to be a shot of graffiti on the inside near where tink exits which I can't find. Here's her view though

OnlyTink will soon have the pics taken down.

For those concerned about the brighter or darker looking colors, remember that the Florida sun will quickly fade them. Disney tries to keep that in mind when considering what the final look will become.

When i was little i used to think Disney would find you and you'd mysteriously "go missing" if you posted pics like this online

Friend of mine posted this on FB. Looks like the lower right turret on the Tomorrowland side has now been painted the darker shade of blue.

I missed this look so much

Do they need to paint the stone work at all? I feel like it will work fine as is?

But why can't the guests see the "Where's Osama?" or follow up "Dead 05-02-11" Graffiti.

They drained the moat, I’d say it’s all but certain they’re going to repaint the stones

Two things that are never the answer: polyester and rose gold.

I think it was about 10 years ago where the shops in WDW were inundated with rose gold merch, especially the Minnie ears. And then a year later, it was all gone.

And, I find it quite hilarious that, for WDW's 50th, it's like they thought "Hey-let's repaint the castle for the 50th in a colour that it's never been in it's 50 years of existence! And then we'll leave it on there for over 5 years!""
