I am flipping out!
The "big event" of our trip is breakfast with Cindy for my dd's 10th birthday....on Feb. 8th.
I can see it now: "Surprise! Were having breakfast in Cinderella's uh--tent, happy birthday"
That box-tarp thing looks awful!
Since it doesn't seem like they're doing that much to the castle itself, I didn't think it would take MONTHS to complete.

It's not written in stone that it will be covered like that. That is just Sleeping Beauty castle which had a lot work done to it.

That cover really ruins the forced prespective... Look how small it looks in the top pic.

I could be mistaken, but I do believe that Sleeping Beauty Castle is still like that and will remain that way till May 5.

yes you are correct, but if you look at pics with out the cover it looks at least twice as tall.

I don't believe the entire castle is going to be covered up. Have you heard this or are you speculating? From the work they are doing to it, it doesn't seem necessary.
Also, the side walks won't be "going down". Think about that - They're going to close Main Street USA?????
I don't think so.

You are correct. They are trying to build up the anticipation for the Castle. The Cover will be taken down during the day on May 4, 2005. The first time the public will see the new castle is on May 5, 2005. Disneyland Park will be closed all day May 4, 2005 to prepare for the celebration. On this day they will be getting the castle ready, and a general new "tune-up" for the entire park. They will also install the (suppossed, if they can get enough pictures) PhotoMosaic's (sp?) on that day. The park should look like new on May 5th!!!
Have not heard of any full day closure for WDW, and I doubt it will happen.
KEEP IN MIND: Disney's California Adventure will be open May 4th, but expect huge crowds. This is the closest you will be able to get to Disneyland on that day, but I am sure they will put up walls and such so you can't see what's going on. The only way I can think of for you to see in would be to Ride the Maliboomer or Sunwheel, but they will probally find a way to make the park un viewable. I guess if you had a room in the hotel, but again, they may find a way.
I never said they would be covering the castle, just that work was starting on the overlay tomorrow.joviacdan said:
It's possible for the sidewalks to be closed. That's what the street is for. Just because the sidewalks are closed, doesn't mean they'll be forced to shut down all of Main Street. After all, it is the entrance to the park. And I'm sure they'll have entrances into the Emporium. Then again, I could be wrong... Maybe I misunderstood that part.

If the sidealks were all closed down, how could anyone get into the shops?
From what I read, they would be doing parts of the sidewalk at a time.

The cover has been down for several months now. DL's castle has a great new paint job. I know there are much better photos, but the banner on the last MiceAge (MiceChat) update shows a little of what it looks like.

If they cover the castle completely like in the pics of Disneyland's castle, then they can't perform CSC, which still runs until Feb 26. So my guess is no covering will go up until that date at the very soonest. If at all.
And if the sidewalks are being done, where will people watch the parade from?

so im hearing it'll be obstructed till april, but would they really do something so radical during such peak times? Easter is in March this year, and thats one of the busiest weeks. Would they honsetly cover up the entire castle for one of the busiest weeks? im kind of saying this for my own comfort due to the fact that im going for easter and i think ill cry if i cant take my 5 bajillion different shots of the castle.

About the only reason that the DL castle was covered like that was because they were doing A LOT of work on it. It had suffered years of neglect and really needed the spruce up. They already did a bit of painting work on the castle during the late summer/early fall of last year, and even then they cameoflaged the scrim so it appeared to be brick (at least from a distance). Don't panic guys. They aren't doing nearly the amount of work on WDW's castle. I think the worst it's going to get is the area where the "stained glass window" will go will be covered. A good portion of the actual castle should remain visible.
