No it isn't. That is a ridiculous rumor that was floating around the net. If you have seen Disney's Imagine...A Fantasy in the Sky Fireworks, you will see why it WON'T be in a gigantic christmas box--it would block the view of half of the fireworks, and most people would rather see a castle w/ scaffolding than no castle at all. It's one of the more absurd rumors I have heard. In a Resort that the net tends to stigmatize as stingy on their 50th Anniversary plans, why would they spend a lot of money to build a 90 foot tall box? There are better ways that Matt Ouimet will spend the money, like refurbishing the entire park.StuntDoomBuggy said:

We had our family pictures taken when the EPCOT ball had a crane right next to it. They did a fairly good job of hiding it, but it's still visible.emmanuel_10583 said::fork:

well, every once in awhile, a foul gust of wind comes up and knocks the golf ball off of its tee so they need to bring in a 300 foot crane to put it back where it belongs...imagine if it fell off and rolled into World Showcase Lagoon...soccer9miahamm said:

half way would be 100 feet. They are painting the entire castle, just some of it will be gold...

Half is under 100 feet...the castle is only about 180...if 100 were half it would make the castle the tallest structure in the parks...

I believe the castle is 189'. I was rounding.

The gold gilding sounds nice. Does that mean gold outlining? I think that if it looks great they should make it permanent.

All I can say is if they paint it again like that awful birthday cake idea, I'm climbing to the top of the castle and jumping.
I LOVE that castle. Why don't they just leave it alone the way it is? Repaint it. Refurbish it. Great. Don't change anything about it though. It's just perfect the way it is.

because if they have a celebration and not enough changes, people call them cheap. So, adding flashy gold paint to the castle will make people go "oooh" and "aaaahhh".joviacdan said:

I guess I'm very confused on what differences are gonna be made.
The bottom half of the castle is currently a light gray brick. Is that being changed?
The top half is light gray concrete looking (though I believe it's not actually concrete.) Is that being changed?
The spires (is that what they are called?) are all blue. Are those being changed?
