That looks very pretty! Why are they marketing this for Cinderella's 70th anniversary when there's a much more relevant anniversary taking place next year? Especially since it incorporates so much gold?

Not sure about this. Reminds me of the DL 50th treatment of which I was not a fan. Sleeping Beauty Castle’s recent refurb was great. Still extremely bold, but sophisticated and done with a great deal of understanding for the structure. The effort was channeled into giving the stonework dimension and pulling way back on the plaster, giving it a classic gleaming monochromatic look. The controversial elements, like the bright blue roofs with glitter and the intense forced perspective painting, may have turned out a bit too extreme but not only can I live with them, I appreciate the thought behind them.
This new Cinderella Castle paint scheme looks to me like someone had fun with a gold gel pen and treated the castle less like its 3-dimensional forms and more like a page in a coloring book.

Been thinking the same thing but I figured they were waiting for something like this for the 50th

Kudos to @MouseBrayden for having the Rose Gold color scheme back in September.

I don't believe its pink. That's just how it looks in the afternoon as the sun sets. That exact photo minus the gold photoshop is in google images.

If there are scrims, I'm pretty sure HEA would be affected. Some of the castle pyro launched directly from/on the castle would need to be turned off. Some examples are the pyro in the opening sequence, Genie sequence, villians, and the last beat of the finale.

Don't mind the gold, but hate the pink...

Totally agree with that assessment... I would think (and hope!) if any part of the show would be effected, the blog post would have mentioned that. With them saying none of those shows would be affected, this is possibly good news in that any work being done will have no scrim or anything around the castle, and instead would have people on cherry pickers overnight?
For reference of what it looks like now in the same lighting, I believe the first photo in the slideshow here https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/attractions/magic-kingdom/cinderella-castle/ is actually the photo they used to show the new concept.

Looks great, so hopefully it resembles the art and stays that way (doesn't fade that much) for a while.
That said, I really hope that we see more than just cosmetic changes for the 50th. (I know, I know... cupcakes) We should get new entertainment at least since it sounds like no other rides are in the pipeline.

At least we know where the money from the AP price increases for the past couple of years have gone.

So Tokyo and Orlando had the same team with the Castle refurb, Oh the finish product at Tokyo is very close to this.

I’m surprised that they aren’t explicitly saying this is for the 50th. Makes me think that we could see another addition for that.
