Today empty moat

Very pretty. The darker blue spires really pop with the grey tones on the castle. Welcome back 1970's Cinderella Castle!!

Agree, I think we’d all like to see the castle “perfect”

Actually, I think the imperfections make it more charming. Like it’s a mighty thing that has always been there persisting. Most of the imperfections and “flaws” of age are not visible from within the park, but the ones that are only add character. A real castle is never going to be pristine, no matter who is residing in it.

Compared to 2019/2020, the last time we see blue and white/grey

Dear god it was bad.

Thank goodness for this new deep royal blue

All I see are two wooden doors.

"It was a dark time in the painting department..."

I knew the colors were washed out pre-2020 repainting but that really drives home just how bad it looked.

Hope the blue is an undercoat, it contrasts too much with the rest. Ideally we’ll have richer blues on the lower levels going paler on the higher ones. Will wait until it’s done.

Maybe going darker initially knowing it will fade quickly in the Florida sun. Just look at that 2019-20 pic!

I think the dark blue looks good. It blends well with the peeks you get of the Sir Mickey's and Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique rooflines on either side.

Can’t wait to see it in a few months in person, all the pics are looking great!!

 

[The Rocketeer]

I wish they’d bring back the old night lighting where it would shift colors more frequently like it did in the early 2000’s.

A freshly-painted castle is truly wonderful to see in person.

With the way things are heading, I'm holding out hope the dreamlights return will be an announcement at D23.

I recall being told that required special paint. Not sure they still use it, if so.

Not at all - it’s all lighting. With color mix fixtures you just adjust so it creates the correct colors the designer wants.

The teal lighting was always my favorite. Man, so much nostalgia looking at these photos.

So glad those three arches on the right on the stage are long gone at this point.

So with the Castle now looking beautiful again with its refreshed paint job, can we expect a refresh of paint on this building opposite it -

I don’t recall if this shop has always had these colors, but looks to me like it was repainted to match the former ‘EARidescent’ Castle hues.
Would be nice to see it revert to its former color scheme as it’s a bit jarring walking this back pathway…but perhaps that is just my seasoned eyes.

Castle looks very nice now.
So relieved that ‘salmon’ eyesore is finally gone.

Oh…and guess who this was walking under the bridge this morning.
Always enjoy a morning walk on the moat when it’s drained -
