I absolutely love that color and detail! I always wanted a more orangy/yellowish castle like they had for Shanghai in the model.

It’s so different from any other Disney castle!

 

[Stevie Amsterdam]

Exactly. I can't wait to see the end result and I'm sure it's going to be magnificent!

I'm incredibly out of loop with this, but are we expecting to see the castle finished this year?

I'm hoping the rumors that the colors were intentionally messed up in the concept art are true because what we've seen looks really good.

So far everything we’ve seen is almost exactly the same color as in the concept art..

Maybe they'll look better in real life then? Disney's had a really odd trend of stuff that doesn't look great in still photographs or concept art but looks good in motion or reality like Aladdin and Jasmine's updated costumes and the Beast's new look.

Summer 2020.

I think it might look better than the concept art, I'm crossing my fingers. I can't wait to see how it looks with the revised hub area!

Colour scheme is the last thing I worry about. You can always repaint the castle if the colour looks bad.
Couldn't say the same if the outcome of the entire structure sucks. To me there are simply way too many ideas, and I hated them stripping away the Sleeping Beauty Castle title.

I don’t really like this storybook castle approach, how it’s supposed to represent all the characters. Like just choose one.

 

[Disneysea05]

I agree. Snow White Castle should have been there from Day 1.

Looking at the concept art, from the real thing, The concept art didn't have any details on the towers that are being put unto place.
Like the Mulan tower that didn't have any flower details. so maybe the castle transformation isn't really that bad at all.

There’s already TOO MUCH in the concept art.
None of which goes together.

If each turret has even more character-specific details, it’ll be an ever bigger mess

that patterned tower reminds me of an ice cream cone

I also never understood why they chose to give the new towers ONION DOMES. It doesn't make sense at all architecturally and the only princess that I think the style corresponds to culturally is at most Jasmine? Why do all the other princesses have onion domes as well???

Does any Disney castle make sense architecturally? They're all a mix of Romanesque, Gothic, and other styles. I see no issue with adding some Russian Revival, Tudor, and Rococo elements to one of them to make it stand out and at least it has a pleasing shape that draws the eye up that doesn't look like a box with sticks on it like Shanghai's .

Now that you've pointed that out I do see what you mean... but never before has a Disney castle had such clashing architectural features until now. I guess we're all just crossing our fingers at this point that the finished product will turn out okay and won't look like a time travel experiment gone wrong.
