Not my fault if many articles refer to the rose gold paint as for the 50th

MK Cinderella Castle Set to Return to Classic Color Scheme
- Thread starter DCBaker
- Start date
Because the bloggers are lazy? I don't know what you want me to say. Disney says it was for the Cindy 70th, I'm not sure it matters what the bloggers say
I now refer to it as the 50th look, as I think most people now associate it with that. But yes, technically it isn't correct.

I provided half a dozen examples from 2020 disproving your statement.

Oh boy, what a “gotcha” moment. I’ll go scamper away now, knowing I’ve utterly lost this internet argumentYour words - "Quick google searches show every article from that time...". Your first link above is from last year, not 2020.

We need a task force to determine exactly who picked this color, when, and why. I want Home Depot receipts. Then they spend a fortnight in the Liberty Square stocks while we offer them a diet of only Pinocchio’s Village Haus “pizza”.

And it will probably be one of the few good things that will happen in the foreseeable future.

DL's Castles colors used to be closer to the current WDW castle I believe, it was not always pink.

Yes, and the wand was for the Millenium Celebration, and the hat was for the 100 years of magic and as we all know they were promptly removed at the end of their respective celebrations.

Sleeping Beauty Castle has always been pink, it was just way more muted than in more recent years.
This and more photos from: https://www.disneyexaminer.com/p/op...n-evolution-disneyland-sleeping-beauty-castle
The original used light pink on upper walls and light blues on the roofs to make it seem taller than it is. The darker and bolder colors lose the effect and make it look even smaller than it is.
It can be a great disappointment when someone who grew up going to MK visits DL for the first time and sees that tiny toy of a castle at the end of Main Street.
Seeing Sleeping Beauty Castle takes a minute to get used to. But at the same time, it’s… comforting.

Totally agree. I grew up going to DL, so it’s always been my favorite.
First time I saw Cinderella Castle, I was in awe of how tall it was!

Indeed, though Sleeping Beauty Castle does work better with the more intimate scale of Disneyland which is why in Hong Kong whose Main Street is on the same scale and the clone of the Disneyland castle was designed that way intentionally and why the idiotic re-do to make it bigger a few years back was an idiotic idea because it throws off the scale of Main Street.
Maybe as a first reaction, but you get used to it rather quickly, especially once you get to the hub and Matterhorn comes into view. Every castle fits the park it’s in. Also, have to say, even though Cinderella Castle is “my” childhood castle, Chateau de la Belle au Bois Dormant is my favorite and most grand of the Disney Castles I’ve seen.
Can we get Castle Dreamlights while they're at it????

Wait, there’s a castle in Disneyland? Never saw it. Maybe a Mickey Premium Bar blocked it from view.
