DOES IT DRIVE ANYONE ELSE ABSOLUTELY MAD THAT THE BANNERS ON THE CASTLE TURRETS ARE WRINKLED? Ah,,, maybe it's my crazy OCD, but can't they make those look better? I want them flat and perfect... AM I INSANE??
Probably! However, the are made out of fabric so the likelihood of someone ironing them every day to ease your mind is pretty slim. Besides right after the next heavy rain they will be nice and unwrinkled until they dry out of course.:happy:

Bathrooms? To go with the other turret/tower style bathrooms? ;)

Is it just me, or did the top spire on the Castle change color?

No, the top spire has always been gold. By the way, that spire also houses the castle elevator that goes from utilidors - 1st floor, guest level - 2nd floor, dream suite - 3rd floor. This is also how Tink gets to window near the 4th floor level. Of course they have to walk the last floor via some stairs.

Is there only one elevator or two? I thought I read somewhere that there is a second "service" elevator for the restaurant

Thought this pic is kinda funny. bigfloridacountry.com has a historic 1976 aerial shot of MK castle.
Odd thing is.... The pic is actually backwards. I have notified the webmaster of the minor issue. Here are the pics below. the top one is wrong. the bottom one is correct. Notice tomorrow land should be to the left-hand side of the pic, not the right side. Remember this is being viewed from the back of the castle. You can see Crystal Palace to the top right 1/4 of pic.

WRONG ^

mk_aerial_1976 - corrected.jpg

RIGHT ^

Look at those trees in the hub!!!

I think there might be. I'll do some more digging for you. I am just more familiar with the main elevator. I have even seen on a few occasion when the door to the elevator room is open. It is the door on the right hand side when you enter the castle from the front. Happened so quick I couldn't get a pic.

Here's a pic I found online of the guest level.

And this is the door that you see when walking through the castle.
