Good God, can't they do this AFTER park hours?!!

That would be silly. No one would be there to see the show.

 

[wdwmagic]

Nope. It needs daylight to be done properly.

HAHAHA!!! Well played!!

Is this lighting related?

 

[Disneyhead'71]

They could at least stop during the show. That's what the crews building Transformers at USF did during Cinematic spectacular.

 

[ImagineerDude]

At least they're actually working. Maybe they'll actually get done with something in a timely manner for once.

That makes too much sense. It wont happen. You're over thinking this.

Floodlights ?

 

[Disney Shib]

It adds a real nice blue collar feel dont you think?

 

[Jakester]

It's gotta happen sometime or another. It bothers you don't go. Plain and simple. The castle probably hasn't had this much attention in YEARS.

Not sure floodlights are ideal for this kind of detail paint work.

We were there last week and saw them painting and the funny part is that all of it is taken down in the evening.

This photo was from a video posted last week. Are they done painting, and are all the cranes gone?

 

[Zummi Gummi]

They usually stop during Dream Along. That's odd that they didn't.

 

[MickeyPeace]

They should have had Cinderella painting the castle in her peasant dress.
That would have been hysterical.

I remember the early days when the park first opened. All maintenance, including the gardening, was done out of site of the guests. After park hours was the norm. Management now does not see the magic the way Walt and Roy did.

I'm all for refurbishment work, but I still think it's very strange that they decided to do this with cranes and boom lifts, rather than scaffolding. Instead of being hidden behind a scrim (either printed to look like the castle or decorated in some other way, like the cards from Alice before DL's 50th), they're just putting all the work out there for everybody to see. It's just a very odd approach to me

And didn't they just have scaffolding up around the lower 1/3-1/2 of the castle about 4 years ago? Why does it already need repainting? It seems like nothing else gets repainted that often (DL's last castle paint job was in late 2004)

I hope they are wearing Disney branded HiViz vests.

Just imagine they are not there, after all isnt WDW about the suspension of the real world and immersion in fantasy © Fhanboyzzz

Not really... those are just expandable cherry pickers. they drop down to ground level and they might drive them out of the park, but I doubt it. They are probably just behind the construction wall. The BiG crane definitely does not get pulled down at night. It's about an 8 hour job to put the rigging up. It's the price that must be paid if we want the place to look good. If you happen to go during the time they are doing it, well, in life... timing is everything.
