I believe they were only lit ambiently, I don't think they had any internal lighting. But they did manage to sparkle at night despite that:Nice, did they light up?

They also used cages for Disneyland’s 50th on the castle.

I understand that the blue is supposed to help them blend in with the turrets, but had they gone with the previously used spiral design, it might’ve helped them look better up close.
Wendy has a pole sticking out of her.The thing about this look was that everything sparkled...There were flitter disks wired to all the cage work that sparkled in the sunlight... like the giant sequins on billboards... There were glints of gold everywhere... They could have left off the Magic Mirror and lit the turret cages for something different, but the old look was mush more elegant and fitting than this chunky gaudy decor they are currently installing...

I am assuming the chunky-ness of the ribbons is purposeful to allow projections at night...

Annnnnd....the pink Castle with chunky ribbons is somehow better?Wendy has a pole sticking out of her.
I think we have our rose-colored glasses on. The 50th castle was gaudy af as the kids and The Zach would say. No Mary Blair in sight.
View attachment 546496Ribbon has now been installed on a second turret. Also see that bunting has finally been added to that small turret on the left.
They could lessen it for sure by losing the pink and...Seeing the bunting with the ribbons together, I'm really digging where this is going. They balance each other very well, bringing visual interest up the castle. I hope they don't go too far with embellishments once the ribbons are finished, it'll most likely start getting to be too much.

What's hilarious to me is with the official promo photos of the castle, they always choose to photograph it in the morning light, when it looks the least pink lol. If they weren't too happy with the purple turrets, I can't imagine they're all that ecstatic over the tan-pink walls either.Another day, another shade of pink.
Official photos are usually taken in the morning light because they are generally taken before or after park openingWhat's hilarious to me is with the official promo photos of the castle, they always choose to photograph it in the morning light, when it looks the least pink lol.

Wait....what's going on with the pink in this pic?View attachment 546496Ribbon has now been installed on a second turret. Also see that bunting has finally been added to that small turret on the left.
They will keep going and going and going!!! Eventually, it will look like a giant ball of ribbon.View attachment 546496Ribbon has now been installed on a second turret. Also see that bunting has finally been added to that small turret on the left.
