Seriously, I can't wait to see it! We're taking a newbie this December, my nephew's fiancee'. He's going to propose to her in front of the castle. I might have to tell him to wait until dark! :sohappy:
Does anyone know that when they are putting up the Christmas lights on the castle if they will finish the paint job? If you look at the lower level just above the clock it has the obvious cross hatch pattern painted on it, and the level straight up from it has part of the hatch work that looks like they just stopped on.... like 1 1/2 zig zags.
Was that pic taken recently? I honestly don't remember seeing that hatchwork on the top as of last month and first noticed it myself in a few photo updates from this past weekend. That pattern has been present around the clock tower for at least the past year after they painted it last Sept-Oct, but this is the first I've seen it applied to the top half as well.
I wonder if it is new within the past week or so and if the crane is there not only for the lights, but also to finish up some of the painting as well. It may have been like that for this whole year, but I honestly did not see it as of last month.
The pic was taken about a week and a half ago. The lower hatch work is a new style as far as I know that was just done when the castle was painted after taking down all the gold decorations several.... months ago. The upper portion has been that way as long also, I just always forgot to take pics of it.
