Cinderella Castle lower section under refubishment

[Victoria]

Could this be some prep for the extension of the walls?

That was my initial thought too. I know it is a major, major long shot, but ya never know. :shrug: :lol:

 

[karentan]

does anyone know roughly how long this is likely to last? also what does the front look like? i love getting photos of the castle and i'm going to be majorly bummed out if there's walls around all sides

 

[jt04]

Yes ... I suppose that means their is hope. :shrug: What do you think, is this a pre-emptive part of the FL expansion?

That is what it appears to be.

*crosses fingers*

How could this wall work with the light show on the castle? Is there a wall around the front side or only the rear?

 

[EPCOTPluto]

Yes, that is a great wall. And the most detailed ever.

Nice to see the Castle getting some TLC done. :wave:

I would think that would be one of the final aspects of the project. I mean, there is so much more substantial work that could begin out of sight that will take a lot more time to complete.

I understand it could just be early prep work on the site, but why not just do it all at once? Just questions, as there may be a good reason for not doing it all at once.

I guess I am just a bit skeptical that this has anything to do with the Fantasyland expansion. I really really hope it does, but I'm not holding my breath.

Wow, hadn't heard that one. That would be incredible!

I heard that was coming to DL, never heard anything about it at MK.

It would be awesome though.

It's only on the back of the castle. It won't change the show.

 

[JustInTime]

Look at the bright side: they're not waiting for the buildings to fall apart, like in Disneyland.

Edit: ...and when DL had to practically re-build the castle, they covered it in a green box and some plywood cutouts of the cards from "Alice."

I would like to see pics of that!

 

[LudwigVonDrake]

I would be annoyed if I went to the park and saw that.

 

[JustInTime]

NO WAY! That is so bad! holy CRAP! I would be heart broken.

 

[Mickeyupdates]

Can you still walk in Cindrella Castle or does the wall go all the way around

 

[SirGoofy]

I seriously doubt this has anything to do with Fantasyland at a whole. Just a touch up, I'm betting.

It happened to Disneyland's Main Street, it has LED lights in the Christmas tree, the garlands that cross the street, the hub trees, the trees around the castle, as well as enhancements to the castle lights from the previous year(the most notable enchantment are the lights on the back side of the castle as well as the light up spires.

WOW, that is one cool wall! :lol:

Kinda odd, I thought the castle looked fine, last time. No complaints, I'm glad it's getting TLC.

WOW. That's just horrible that they had to do that, for both current show, and the fact that they let it get that bad!


How long was it like that for?

 

[WDW Vacationer]

As bad as it is... you can at least give DL credit for making the cards look like they are doing something.:lol:

Our construction scrims have been greatly themed lately!

 

[luvlifeinfl]

I agree that it is better that something is being done, but not sure if the pic is not giving justice to the wall?:shrug:

I think it was like that for about 3 months... It maybe why they eventually started getting the custom scrim for the scaffolding, since many people complained about that look when it was going on.
