New look for the Confectionery on Main Street U.S.A at Magic Kingdom

[devoy1701]

It looks whitewashed, which for buildings of that "era" wasn't uncommon. But, toss in the red and blue and there's a definite patriotic feel to the establishment.

I'll be interested to see the finished product.....

i think all of the paint scheme's on Main Street during this latest round of refurbs has really made each building contrast sharply with the one right next to it, while still tying the whole street together. Each building stands out on its own instead of blending together as one big storefront that it is. I think this looks great!

Surprised they used red. I'm not opposed to red but it's the first color to fade in the Florida sun. And man, will it fade! Red just does not last here. Even people with red cars will see serious fading of their paint job.

So for anyone who doesn't like the red, give it a year or so and it will get much paler, pinker and duller in color! :lol:

I like it as a great change of pace. More details will just make it better.

They put the old CoP sign back and removed the temp one. Hopefully to be auctioned off so I can put it in my yard.

Whatchu' talkin' about Willis? It looks awesome people. Just wait till the awnings and sign are put in place.

That's planned for many of the colors. Hence why John Hench purple is initially so dark. :wave:

It looks very "Grand Floridian".

Anybody have a before and after?

 

[Victor Kelly]

Not liking it too much, but it is a picture, and final judgement will be made by me in a few years on the next trip.

I kind of liked the more subdued look of the buildings before. Who knows it might just look great in person.

 

[mp2bill]

i think so far it looks awesome! :wave:

ditto

this is before and after shown with the rest of main street. i think the new colors don't match with the rest of main street and makes the confectionary the focus not the castle.
final judgements should be made when it is COMPLETE!

i will post pictures of just the confectionary where the colors don't look too bad

It looks unfinished. I mean, I like that it's been spruced up but, surely that can't be the final paint job. It sticks out and not in a good way, in my opinion of course.

Is it possible this is only for July and will be repainted in places after that?:shrug:

thanks, comparing them now, I would also say it looks unfinished. Definately need to bring back the awnings and the bottom roof overhang detail.

i like the blue, and if the red fades to pink, it would realy give off the candy shop vibe, my only gripe is to much white

YES!, the overhang detail was beautiful on the old one

What color could the new awnings be ?

I love the detail on the roof though post refurb! I can't tell if that detail was there pre refurb...

I saw it in person last Thursday...looks very out of place...and it is SO MUCH brighter in person and the brick contrast is really off putting..I like the red trim though..but overall I do not like it. It's like it smacked me in the face as soon as I stepped onto Main Street.

Pink would be great!!! I do not like the red at all. Although if they really aren't done with it yet I think we should wait until we judge. For the most part, Disney does pretty good at judging these types of things.

no the roof is NEW, the new roof has to be my favorite part of the refurb.

it does seem very out of place,
i know it sounds nitpickey but i really hate that the rectangles right below the third story windows are white, without the different color it realy makes the building look plain LOL

also i liked how in the old one the over hang was that dark green, i think the new one would look better if it had blue instead of the white,Il post a picture of what im talking about

The roof pattern was there before the refurbishment, but was more or less the same color, rather than what it is now.
