Since it's inspired by a color cartoon, it makes perfect sense.

With name like Jabots and swags I was half expecting to see some kind of lame rappers.

Sigh.. she used to be so beautiful
I always seem to be on the positive side of things...and I am again.
I can't understand the issue - it looks like any princess movie where the castle would be decorated with "swag" for some big celebration. I mean, isn't that kind of the point? It's supposed to look like a fairytale - and in this fairytale the kingdom is throwing a party!
I like it.

I actually think these latest pictures look much better than the initial redo of last year. At least now, it reads as a temporary scheme designed to celebrate a particular occasion. I’m hoping once the 50th is over it’ll go back to something closer to the muted palette we had before (or what they currently have in Japan).

Understood, but, historically there are examples it could be worse! At least a touch of class has been maintained thus far.

I think the blue roofs certainly help. A lot less jarring.

You were one of the few here who openly liked the new paint scheme when it was unveiled! What made you change your mind?

I just don’t let things like this bother me, but I can understand why some would be perturbed. I can handle change, as I know it will likely be adjusted and changed based on what the majority want.
But in retrospect, the roof colour was certainly odd. I think the blue has wider appeal.

I think the decorations look fine. They could have done much better (and I still think using a water-resistant or waterproof fabric would have been a much better choice than the molded plastic), but they also could have done a lot worse.
The pink paint is just awful, though, and makes the whole castle look bad regardless of what else they do to it.

True the Pink is the big detractor, but, as I said before It is still retaining a touch of elegance where as there is history of far more terrible color and decoration schemes. I do hold out hope since the cherry pickers are stationed around the castle and painting does occur over night that one morning the sun will rise and shine revealing no more Pink.

Yikes. It's a big tacky mess. I'll judge more when it's completed but I'm not into the colors of the castle or these banner/ribbons so far.

Agreed. The blue is very nice, the decorations are good, the pink is terrible.
They keep pushing the "ear"idescent color for the 50th. They should go with a white color but have something else added into it to make the castle sparkle or slightly color shift. I'm not a paint expert to know if that's possible. The sun-burnt pink is just so out of place and random.

The blue on the roof looks so much better than the purplish blue.

I like the bunting, i think. The blue is miles better than the purple, but i think a darker blue would be even more beautiful. I thought i was finally getting used to the dirty pink, but then i came across a photo of how it looked before today and its just such a shame.

and there lies the problem, that was never the intent of the castle. But now it has to be a plastic looking toy for generic princess ip and instagramming purposes and that's that, how dare it have anything to do with WDW or its original look. That would just be too fitting.
