They used to project random photopass shots of people on the castle every night. So it’s not exactly unprecedented.They should just pick a visiting guest each month and put their face up on the 50th Medallion. And that person is "The Magic" for the month.
I, for one, look forward to the castle draped in faux mouse fur.

I always thought old family photos from past trips that people submitted should have been part of the 50th night time show - you know, actually depicting the 50 years of the park being celebrated

But then what would Disney’s best kept secret be? That peephole in the Epcot restroom?

The best kept secret is how to use genie+ and have an enjoyable experience
Add projections to ‘Wishes!’? Absolutely not.

If we get Wishes back, I want Hallowishes, too. Wonderful Christmastime can stay.

i don’t think they’ll ever have a fireworks show without using those expensive projections now even if they brought wishes back
The castle is a horrible screen for the projection-obsessed show designers/managers.
It's pretty good for a more graphical projection, such as Wonderful Christmastime.

Yes, I love when they make the castle look like a castle made of something else.
During a fireworks show, there should be a camera on the backside of the castle capturing the fireworks from that angle, then, project what it captures onto the front of the castle in order to make it look transparent. As is, the castle is just in the way of the fireworks.

Once the Castle is replaced by a 50-ft bronze Chapek, imagine how beautifully the fireworks will reflect on his bald head.

Now that I think about it, projection shows hosted in front of WDW's Cinderella Castle is usually a hit-or-miss.
"The Magic The Memories and You" (I believe it was WDW's first projection show) was executed fine even if it looked weird at times.
The best executed for WDW was Happily Ever After and Minnie's Wonderful Christmastime Fireworks.
But for some reason, Tokyo Disneyland's Castle Projection Shows (such as "Once Upon a Time" and especially Celebrate Tokyo Disneyland) did a much better job compared to WDW. The WDW version of Once Upon a Time always felt off compared to the original version.
Not sure if it was done by a different design team or how slightly different Tokyo's Castle is compared to the WDW castle.

It's as if they need to design the media to flow with the castle instead of getting inspiration from Newgrounds and awkwardly slapping it in a spot and trimming it to fit.
Just paint it properly and that's not an issue.
