News PHOTOS - Cinderella Castle at the Magic Kingdom to receive enhancements this summer

Oh goodness. They are painting all of Fantasyland that blue. Please stop.

The deep blue doesn't look too bad in the picture...At least it is not purple Blue...
The Navy and the pinkish wall color look nice together...

When the new castle color scheme debuted, I kept thinking that the pink color was a darker under coat and that they would be coming in and making lighter/less saturated gradations to the structure to emphasize the architecture. Much like the adjacent Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique or the clone at Tokyo Disneyland. Not just flat color but adding some dimension and lightening up the whole structure. I truly didn’t think it was possible they were leaving it like that haha. Shows what I know!

YES. That’s EXACTLY what’s wrong with the new paint job. It’s shiny and new, but feels flat and one dimensional. Even the pink on the other castles is used to give them greater depth and height.

From the other site. The top roof has been finally given the new royal blue color. And I must say I think it looks stunning. I’ve always loved the chevrons they paint on the roof. Also notice how they maintain the iridescent blue/purple from the previous paint job.

Still can’t help but think in a year from now it will be all faded again once the sun has its way with it.

We have bunting on the right front turret.

I am so glad to see the purple roofs going away...Now they need to address the Golden Girls Mauve color on the castle... Nothing would have been more elegant for the 50th than the castle in it's original colors then accented with gold leaf... The Blue , pale gray and Gold would have looked smart and regal...and would have celebrated the unique (when built) Castle design for this park... Instead of muddying the parks icon up with Disneyland's Paint scheme.

Exactly. Silver is my preference, but I think for the 50th gold would make a nice contrast with the pale gray and blue. I really hope they do away with that mauve ASAP, Cinderella's Castle should be cool colors. Pink is for SB Castle.

Hey Zach, the decorations look great, now just get rid of the sunburn pink on the castle and you have got a beautiful icon for the 50th!

He answers only to “The Zach”.

Must he post about every small achievement? It used to be that these things happened magically overnight. Tomorrow it will be, “Last night, our @WaltDisneyImagineering and @WaltDisneyWorld teams changed out the toilet paper in the Splash Mountain men’s restroom, home to the world-famous boys’ urinal that could flush a body. Can’t wait to share more as we move to the Pirates of the Caribbean restroom in the years ahead!”

The next upgrade will be arrows on the castle pointing to the medical station as piped in smells convince you that yes you CAN eat corn dog nuggets, spring rolls, nacho tots, funnel cake, a turkey leg, and a Mickey Ice Cream Bar while completing the Mountain Challenge.

Looks like they’ve repainted the last patterned roof portion as of this morning as well.

I think it looks gorgeous with those low clouds.

I think it looks gorgeous with those low clouds.

As much as I still dislike it, the blue turrets definitely offset some of the pink and make it more bearable. I just hope it’s temporary...

I find the pink less-offensive in cloudy weather—the Castle has some depth today and the forced perspective is particularly effective.

I think Phase 1 is a success. It looks fun and special without being overly in your face and tacky. I can't wait to see work on phase 2 pick up!
