MK Cinderella Castle Set to Return to Classic Color Scheme

[JIMINYCR]

I’m all for it. I just feel bad for the guests who show up when painting is in progress and they are faced with scaffolding and their dream pictures are tainted.

 

[SoFloMagic]

Did they give a reason/excuse as to why now? Seems embarrassing on their part and unlike Disney to admit to the original being a mistake....

No, this isnt undoing the 50th castle, its an all-new castle. That was white/grey/blue. This adds CREAM!

But seriously, glad to see them acknowledging mistakes and fixing stuff

 

[Bocabear]

I am thanksful they finally woke up and took a long hard look at it.....and then realized how terrible the Desert Pink was and decided it is time to go back to the MK's classic iconic look.
reading the press release about it is laugh-worthy....
oooohhh. you need Durable Paint? That is fascinating.....lol

FINALLY.
I have been waiting for this to be officially announced.

Thank you, to those within the Company who realized that the ‘salmon sandcastle’ needed to go away.

It will be wonderful to have something close to the original color scheme return that used to grace Cinderella Castle.

Today is a day for rejoicing!

was not a fan of the rose gold but it didn’t stop me from looking at it taking pictures of the castle. glad to hear it’s going back to its original looks my only question is this…did they run out of toilet paper?

 

[James Alucobond]

I have the same wishful thought

I have to imagine much of it is artistic fluff, but I’d be very happy just to have a bit of greenery back in front of the stage. The fully concrete alcove behind the Partners statue looks so barren.

Why the relatively sudden change?

Home Depot had a special Labor Day sale on Behr paint that Bob just couldn’t pass up…

Disney, do you read this?
1. Thank you.
2. White lights on the Castle at night.

 

[mattpeto]

No because that costs money.

Paint and labor free too?

Yeah clearly they aren’t spending money these days.

Good take.

I kinda hope it’s a return of the nightly colour cycle. White lights at times, and then bathed in colours like it used to.

Good take.

It’s clear they have no desire to go back to the Dreamlights installation. It is capital and labor heavy, causes picture issues for 2-3 months each fall (which in turn reduces the number of pictures they sell I’m sure), and they’ve had plenty of opportunities to bring them back.

They aren’t spending money on things like this and it’s been clear since 2021 that if they don’t have to bring it back they won’t. Dreamlights are a prime example of that.

We can have two! They'll be another one gone once the dream lights come back.

How do we know really???? None of us were expecting this today?

Also, No Nighttime Parade for close to 9 Years....now we have MK'S Old School Schedule back!

A 50th Fireworks Spectacular that's still Good enough for DAH......but HEA returned anyway....

We can't be sure on what MK wants to return I think......

Not saying we can't have Two!

 

[Doberge]

I didn't realize people were so hung up on things to look the same to be wistful for more drab gray.

 

[eddie104]

Yes the rose gold was definitely tired and needed to be retired.

Glad they are going back to the original color scheme.

I knew this was coming though when we saw those castle permits filed earlier this year.

Epcot DJ?

Have you been in the last year or so? The central hub is blasted with 2012's finest club beats every night, completely drowning out the music and the spaceship earth light shows. Feels like youre on a carnival cruise.
