Anyone thinks once the complete castle makeover is complete Disney will release merchandise featuring the new color scheme..toys, models etc? We all know how Disney loves synergy!

Also wish they would get rid of the stage. It's disappointing to see that in Shanghai and HKDL they're doubling down on a large stage area directly in front of the castle.

As in many things, DLP handles this best with the placement of the stage off to the side of the castle:

Where would they stage the yearly Christmas televised show then with the irrelevant and inactive artists that they invite to perform?

Irrelevant and inactive? I think you’re confusing this with the America Gardens Theater.
Nope Magic Kingdom. If you look at the lineup of performers and hosts yearly they usually get the artists who are not really relevant or careers that have not been that active. Yes, you see some huge name but rarely. You don't see the cream of the crop of the music industry performing. Maybe in the 50th we could get something on a Beyonce level.

You know Beyoncé has actually already performed at the Christmas taping?

I prefer the 50th Anniversary to be similar to DL's 50th Anniversary or WDW's 25th Anniversary (minus the castle cake).

That was so long ago when she was just starting her solo and post Destiny's Child. You wouldn't be able to book her now with how big she has become. Anyways I was just using her as an example of A-listers.

It was certainly early in her career, but that doesn’t make her inactive or irrelevant.

Compared to the Christmas Parades of the 80s/90s...... that's a good way to put it! Am I the only one one that loves the stage?!? Granted they could go with a temp one like TDL with bigger shows!

Just came across this video of Cinderella Castle for their old Christmas Show "Sparkling Christmas Spectacular" from 1994. The castle without the stage looks more natural.

I mean, they’re still on the stage in this video. This was just before the large platforms were added for CinderellaBration in 2005.

They sure are moving quickly with the castle repainting. Looks like the main tower is almost done!

I sure hope that the current paints will be the undercoats because those are not the shades presented in the concept art...
