MK Cinderella Castle Set to Return to Classic Color Scheme

[Tha Realest]

They'll do that right after they bring back the Lights of Winter.

Is that the ephemeral final book in the George RR Martin Game of Thrones saga?

I wonder if this means a restoration of the original HEA projections. They are still modified in terms of content and colors because of the 50th color scheme.

For example, Hercules was moved during the Go The Distance segment. The lamp during Aladdin was also moved and made smaller.

I don't think whoever is in charge of projection media noticed this, which is weird since HEA has pre-50th and color corrected projections from when it reopened in 2021. And with the correct placement of character and prop footage.

Im not sure the Dream Lights will ever return as long as projection mapping is being used. Not that it’s not possible, just that they think they’re not needed. I honestly wonder if they should coexist.

Paint and labor free too?

Yeah clearly they aren’t spending money these days.

Good take.

If they spent a nickel it would be lauded in the ether

Actually... two years ago one of our insiders said it was under serious consideration and close to happening.

That may be over. Or not.

Bob Iger posts here?

Better chance of Lights of Winter to return than Winds of Winter to finish, for sure.

So glad the castle is going back to the blue and white look. The pink was a miss for me and seemed like it was too similar to Sleeping Beauty Castle.

I'm happy. This may be waaay overthinking it but I feel like those colors are symbolic of classic Walt Disney World, the days where you didn't have to plan your whole day in the parks on your phone and still use it throughout the day for Lightning Lanes and such. Returning to the color pallette isn't going to fix these problems of course, but it reminds us of a simpler time, which automatically puts us in a better mindset when visiting the parks, which hopefully can inspire us to simply enjoy WDW for what it is a little bit more, and what it can hopefully return to one day.

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......

And if the lights are still in storage… still work, the hang up may have been not wanting to replace with new wires that matched the new scheme. If going back to basically the old scheme, the old wires will work again.

Maybe next year the lights will return after the castle restoration. That is assuming they plan on having the restoration done at some point next year.
