Due to lack of coffee this morning, when I first glimpsed at the picture, I thought for a couple of seconds I was looking at Horizons...yep. Coffee Time!

Just thinkng may be the lighter roof color reflects the heat and cuts down on the AC bill

Anyone know when this project is going to be completed? Looks great!

Very pleased the kept the classic look. If we get the Tron canopy similar to Shanghai it will contrast well. IMO.

Scaffolding off of all the spires for now.

It has looked bad for over a decade. Glad they're finally getting around to this, but still surprised it took this long.

It does look great, even better in person. I just wish they would do something different with that light blue, maybe a darker shade or something else that is a little more bold.

You may be getting your wish. Can anyone confirm that's a darker blue going up along the sides? I'm pretty sure it's a different hue and not a trick of the light.

EDIT - Looks like that section has been darker for some time to match the adjacent old arcade building. It'd be nice if it was extended around the entire building.

Is the dark section not adjacent to the WEDWay track?

Now about that awful looking monorail track...

Sorry if this was asked but I know it was pressure washed but was the building stripped first as well or was the old color just that dirty and or faded?! It almost looks like there is no paint left on the unpainted sections.

Thought that was a bit farther left of that angle? It could be though.

If this was a true Tomorrowland project, they'd have hover painters and robot drones doing all the painting. Disney, you've let me down again.

I think it's just the light. That area has been darker than the rest for awhile now.
