Can I see a picture of it? Has it changed for the 50th anniversary or something? That's not for another year. But how does it look different?

I haven’t been lucky enough yet to see the new castle in person, but the more I look at the pictures of it the more I like it. The older version, by contrast, seems a lot colder to me now. I never really thought if it that way, but I kinda do now.

That's what I thought too. When you compare it to the new castle the colors seem very faded.i

I havent seen the castle up close but from videos and pictures it looks fantastic. I want to get there in time to take a selfie with the paint by numbers still on the castle walls. We arrive on the 25th.

To me, the blue looks odd, at least in photos. The blue looks especially off when looking at it against the buildings that surround the castle. The gold is pretty. I'm not sure about the pink. By itself, it would probably be okay, except that it makes WDW look like the Paris Castle.
Did Sleeping Beauty steal Cindy's castle?
Maybe it will all look better when the project is complete?

Pardon my ignorance, but what is still to be done with the remake of the castle?

Saw it personally. It definitely grew on me and I like it now. The way the sun reflects the pink looks way different than the pictures and the gold glistens very very nicely, especially up close.

Doesn't really look all THAT different. Probably would barely notice if there wasn't a thread to be honest. A little more gold, less grey. More pink I guess. Is that permanent or is it just for the 50th? I thought the other way always looked so pretty in the blue backdrop of the sky. Not sure why people are complaining about it all of the sudden. We loved the castle the other way too didn't we?

Hoping the sun mutes the colors a little bit so it's not as vivid, but in general I really like the color scheme way more.

At this rate and budget they could do what they did when SGE opened and call it a day...
I saw it when it was being worked on - the week before closure. While the old turrets did need to be painted. The new color scheme is AWFUL. I think its tacky and not a sophisticated, elegant look. It looks more like they pulled it into a cartoon. I am not a fan. And it's the one of most photographed spots in the world. This is too extreme for that situation.

The brickwork just below the turrets of the castle is being repainted in different shades. some photo's ive seen on twitter are showing each brick numbered so they're not all the same colour/shade. most of it is done now, just a little bit left.

I haven't seen it in person yet, but, I don't mind the pink. This isn't the first time the upper portion was given a pink hue. This was actually done about 10 or 11 years ago as well, just not as saturated.
I think the blue turrets are are too saturated and uniform in color, giving them a plastic-y look. I'm unsure on the gold trim until I see it in person.
