Well, you knew he was going to post something insipid.

(Zach, not @DCBaker.)

You don’t want to applaud The Zach and his team for using something fancy called a “computer” to ensure that the new decorations actually fit the castle?

Said castle was originally built without the aid of computers.

Said castle was originally built without the aid of computers.

That explains why they have not been able to adorn the castle with anything until now. They didn’t have the technology to do so until now.

This is like Pixar bragging that they animate with computers.

They sent a man to the moon with those computers, how far we've fallen...

For real. I’ll applaud Zach if he ever posts evidence of a currently employed Imagineer touching a piece of real paper!

So they are indeed finished with the castle aside from the 50 medallion? Moat being refilled soon? Or maybe it already has?

Guess the front castle turrets are not getting decorations? Weird.

Seems like it. It does look somewhat... incomplete. Hopefully the medallion fixes that.

Looks like reflected light to me. Compare the part in shadow (under the “pipe”) with the area surrounding it and you’ll see what I mean.

Maybe...hope you're right.

No it's not fading already. Look at the picture of the head on view of this particular roof and it's clear.

Yeah, I don't think it's fading.

It does look like a very poorly done paint job up close like that -- but since no guest will ever see it except from far away it doesn't really matter.

This!

Many moons ago I did maintenance on highway billboards. We had a saying that it only needed to look good at 60/60. 60 mph and 60 feet in the air, amazing what you can't see from that distance

Yup. And 72dpi at 4' x 12' looks photographic at a distance.

So interesting how they are putting up the decor so early. Not like it’s taken them long to put it up.

I wonder why?

Those aren't mounts...

Cheeky devils! Give them what for!
Empty the shot lockers!

We were gong to have the 50th, Memorial Weekend 2021 pre COVID according to these Boards. The Castle didn't get COVID delayed apparently. Any new hope for current or 50th Entertainment?

Free Marketing.

Every time someone posts a picture of the castle with these enhancements, they're sharing it with people who may not be as up to date with Disney's history. Random people seeing this might inspire them to go down to Florida to see it for themselves. Plus it elongates the "celebrations" where anyone who goes down this summer will feel like they've had a special experience.
