They’re not painting again.

Never ever?

Never ever?

Not until the 100th.

I don't think it's a mess. The proper term is it look busy. Maybe taking down the buntings will solve it. The gems and the gold wraparounds are lovely.

The proper term for me is "mess" but to each their own. Like I said before, it looks to me like they just threw a bunch of multicolored stuff on it, which they actually did.

Considering that last time they let the blue roofs fade to virtually grey, I wouldn't put it past them.

Really? This is so disappointing. I remember hearing a while back that TDO were unhappy with the way the pink turned out, had my fingers crossed the color would be painted over at some point after the 50th decorations had been taken down.

Does the Castle have it‘s own background music? If so, has it been changed to go with this redecoration?

Yes. it's this -

They were unhappier with the cost of repainting.

The pink looks much better in these photos. I'm not sure if it's just the light they were taken in or if the paint has faded a little.

I think part of it is that the turrets are no longer that almost purple color. That definitely helps.

Still don't think the castle looks anywhere near as good as it did with the original paint scheme, but it looks a lot better than it did when they first painted it in this scheme.

Yes, changing the blue certainly helped.

I like this colour scheme (or at least the way it looks in the latest photos) for the 50th, but I really hope they go back to something closer to what they had before once the celebrations are over.

Still looks like a plastic castle in woody's toyset but whatever. Let them have their moment

 

[Elizabeth Swann]

They put it on crooked.

agree unfortunately. At least its not hideous or gaudy, its nice I guess. I would have preferred a return to the original castle but thats not synergy enough for chapek and his minions in charge. Everything has to be instagrammable is the mandate and the kingdoms cant have their own identity anymore, they all have to be of the same target like branding.

I think that's just the angle the photo was taken. If you're not dead in the center, its always gonna appear to be a bit off

If they all cater to the same base customer Chappie can pare down the merch sku's and save big bucks on manufacturing bulk quantities. The base all want the same stuff, synergy at it's finest....

That picture is from the center though and there are other pictures you can tell that decor piece is tilted to the left

If so, I’m sure they will fix it.

I am sure they will too I just think it is funny
