Any hi-res images of the 25th castle cake?

[maxime29]

Looking for a high resolution image of Cinderella Castle during the 25th anniversary of WDW. The two images I have of the castle are not very good.

TIA.:wave:

Why do people hate it so much? I thought it was cool when I saw it.

Maybe for a dart board?

Because it totally killed the castle and that feeling you get when you first see it.

Aaaaaaah, the most infamous thing WDW ever did, next to toilet-papering the castle, leaving the temporary wand over SSE, and never finishing the Pop Century resort.





The birthday cake castle actually looks decent in photographs; but in person, it was a pepto-bismol-colored mess. In a now-legendary (but true!) story, the sight of the castle-cake at the Wedding Pavilion made brides so upset that Disney had to install a stained-glass window of the classic castle in the chapel. People apparently didn't want to be reminded of Pepto-Bismol while saying their vows.

I think it was cool the first time you saw it but then it just got old. It seemed to be up forevever, or maybe I just went more than usual when it was up.

I thought it was a great idea for anyone that has visited the Magic Kingdom before, but I felt sorry for all of the guests that never had the chance to see how the castle really looks like on their first vacation.

Also try www.disneypix.com or ask the webmaster (forum member) robafuso. If you really want it!

No luck so far.

I'm interested in it because it's still a part of WDW history commemorating the 25th. Just interested in having some keepsake of this time period.

Oh and when I mean "high-res", I don't refer to small 400x200 grainy images. If this is all I can get at the end then so be it. Just trying to narrow down my search for now.

Have you thought about a hires scan? I`m sure one of the hard back souvineer books has a full size (A4) pic that`d scan okay?

EDIT - I can`t find it! I know I have it somewhere - not much use to you though is it?

 

[RatherBinDisney]

Yeah, I remember my first ever trip to Disney World!

I was riding the ferry over the lake and my wife says, "ok, get ready, here comes the.........HOLY S#@T!! What the He** is that??"

My response, "Looks like a big cake:slurp: , where's the castle?":veryconfu


Of course I then found out where the castle was.....:hurl:

I was on my first WDW vacation during the cake's reign. I liked it. I thought it was very fun and made my trip different than some of my friends. It was over the top and yes, very pink, but fit Disney.

I also love the HCOE additions to the castle.

 

[DiPSU224]

I'm not a real big fan of anything being done to the castle. I think the HCOE decorations are pretty, but I was hoping it would be back to it's beautiful self on our next trip in May. I don't think it's going to be though.
I visited back during the cake year. I think it had been my first trip back in almost 10 years. It was cool to see, and I'm kinda glad I did. I didn't have my obsession with Disney back then so it didn't bother me. Today, I would hate the sight of it.

 

[Expo_Seeker40]

My first trip to WDW and the MK was for the 25th anniversary in 1996. I didn't mind it at all. Sure it was my first trip, but being just shy of 10 and knowing it was a fun cool TEMPORARY thing made the trip special. I like the 50th enhancements to the castle as well, but can't wait to have the original castle back.

We actually went to downtown disney to have our picture taken with mickey with a mural of the normal castle as our background because we didn't want the half pink half regular castle as our background. :lookaroun
