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

[Touchdown]

Disneyland’s Castle took 5 months. 5 months from now is August.

What happens in August that they would want the castle completed by?

The first MNSSHP.

In between now and then what special event would suffer from cut back pyro?

4th of July

My totally non insider belief based on these is that I expect the painting to take 5 months and end just prior to MNSSHP, but maybe they finish it by the 4th of July.

Looks like they're moving along pretty quickly! I don't see the initial obstruction taking more than a couple weeks as far as painting goes. Doesn't take that long to just paint. But I guess we'll see in the coming weeks. So far it's looking really good and vibrant.

If the castle looks like it is now without scrims, Celebrate America should have no problem, Like HEA right now it sounds like . If the castle has scrims, ladders after July 1st then it might be an interesting July 4th! Off topic but is Epcot having Jul;y 4th pyro with either EF or HUS?

Disneylands also got new roofs installed so it wasn't only paint.

But Cinderella’s castle is much bigger.

Painting is moving along, it seems.

Mis-matched turret colors! Vacation ruined!

The new blue looks nice but I hope they are using a special paint so it doesn’t fade back to how it was.

 

[Giss Neric]

They can finish painting all the turrets royal blue and painting the castle rose pink in less than a month. I don't know how tedious installing those gold enhancements though.

 

[BoarderPhreak]

Lots of surface cracks on the upper castle walls... Anybody else notice that?

 

[Jabbas]

Love the new look of Disneyland’s Castle but I hope they don’t look exactly the same color wise.

To be honest, I did not look that close at the castle (places to go, rides to ride, etc. ) and haven’t viewed my pics on a large screen yet. Maybe tomorrow or the weekend I’ll take a look.

I don't know if you'd call that "Rose Pink" yet. To me it looks like they're re-applying the same paint as before. The overcast weather conditions make it look darker than it is. What's everyone else thinking?

I like the lighter shade blue, thats what i remember from the first time I saw the castle. In 1972 i think it looks best with the light gray. Now is this disney painters or is this subbed out? Any one know??

 

[Magicart87]

Like the royal blue paint. Has an @wdwmagic vibe to it. That and the accent gold too! It's the WDWMAGIC Collection by Sherwin Williams.

 

[wdwgreek]

I wonder if they will continue the painting during the closure?

I would expect them to be able to speed the process up. I mean they're paying them so no reason to not have them finish it up.

Just be glad you got to see the castle at all this month!

Rose gold (and iridescence) is significantly different from a soft pastel rose pink.

Perhaps what was originally whispered was "rose and gold" which got mashed into "rose gold".

When I called the castle "rose gold" last October I literally meant the swatch you see when you search rose gold.

At the time I envisioned us getting #4 with the specularity in it, it seems like we're getting something closer to #1.

Will the lower portions of the castle be painted the darker Grey similar to TDL?

Can't find where I saw it now but pretty sure its just a repaint of the existing colourscheme, with some tweaks to make it all 'pop' a little more.
