kinda off topic but just curious, how long would the new paint last before it begins to fade? I ask because I'm curious if they would have to do multiple coats of paint or not

Well with all the cold snaps they won't have to worry too much about tadpoles or pollywogs. Ducks will be disappointed but then there is always the lake. I admit it would be interesting if they could actually turn this into a working river with a bit of a recirculating current but then that would require a lot of plumbing work so I doubt we will see anything done to the moat beyond a little algecide and a pressure wash.

What would make it a working river? The water is recirculated and connected to the Jungle Cruise. The moat also
hosted an attraction once upon a time.

I'm not sure if this is more of a statement on me or on what Disney has been doing lately with WDW, or maybe both, but I am more excited for the return to the classic Castle look than I have been for anything else at WDW for a long time. With all of the changes that have been made or are being made, it's nice to see some history returned and preserved for once.

I wonder if the “bricks” at base will be reverted back to the lighter gray color scheme they used to have or stay the same. That was the one change of the Cinderella 70th/WDW 50th color scheme I didn’t mind.

Have you ever seen a working river? The answer is fairly obvious. There is water circulating but its at such a glacial pace that it creates areas of significant stagnation. Stagnant water over time can lead to de-oxygenated water. That leads to fish kill which can get a bit stinky as well as significant algea build up which is why the water gets particularly nasty looking. Need I say more?

The water is dyed to obscure the Jungle Cruise guideways.

the beauty of the castle is tones of gray is the fading when it happens will be much less noticeable.....except for the blue roof...

I don't think there are fish to worry about in the moat....Have no idea how they would have even gotten in there..,....
