News PHOTOS - New look Magic Kingdom auto-plaza shares similar color scheme with Cinderella Castle

[HauntedPirate]

Not really a fan of the gradient paint color scheme on the castle, but the rest looks good.

The little half circles over the WELCOME look odd.. a couple are white... a few blue.. a few gold... hmmmmm

Not really a fan of the gradient paint color scheme on the castle, but the rest looks good.

The castle and W-E-L-C-O-M-E lettering reminds me of when titanium rainbow jewelry was all the rage back in the '90s.

The MK auto toll plaza refresh is now complete!

I’m really digging the blue gradient over each car lane.

The road paint needs work...

The road paint needs work...

Looks like the whole thing could use repaving, actually. Some noticeable cracks and it looks like relatively old asphalt.

Probably should have done it while everything was closed for the pandemic.

Here is Western Way Gateway from today

Glad it's getting a facelift. The old look screamed Downtown Disney, Eisner-era 90's Disney to me.

How I miss it, so.

How I miss it, so.

I do enjoy some parts of that era, and I'm glad part of it is making a comeback in terms of design and style, but I think for the overall entrance to the entire resort it's too much. I know it's just capitalizing on the trend, but some of the merch they sell at Disney Style has that vibe, like PI shirts and dad caps. Plus the return of the "Peace, Love, Mickey" logo.

And MK Auto-Plaza from today

This looks pretty nice! I like it better than the Barbie pink version from a few years ago; at least one of the new paint schemes turned out okay.

Honestly I actually enjoy this refreshed look. The 1990s VHS colors had become dated looking. I love the iconic signage and the new paint gives it a fresh lease on life.

 

[Haymarket2008]

I just really wish they were going back to the original WDW font/logo. But it looks nice.

Niiiiiiiiice! The blue background for Mickey looks goooooood! I didn’t realize how dated the old version looked until they updated it.

Pictures from BlogMickey this morning. Just like the auto plaza, the blue behind the WDW lettering is a gradient, which I really love imo!

Mickey and his final look. Note the background difference between his and Minnie’s, while Donald still has a primer.
