Hope they repaint it silver and keep the marketing celebration going. Also the castle looks better with decorations on it for this current color scheme.

I sure hope the castle returns to it's original 1971 colors and the marketing machine stops over-hyping everything...
I think the Magic Kingdom needs to just settle back into being The Magic Kingdom...spend that marketing money on plussing and freshening their decor for the normal annual celebrations...

The MK map better have the castle lit up in the red With gold filigree projection to celebrate HEA returning.

My Guess is either HEA or TRON will make the Cover. But I'm 99% sure a picture of HEA will be somewhere on that Guidemap!!!

Thank God WDW is not following DL's Guidemap style which has no Parade Route and not any kind of Entertainment listed!!!!!

When do we get our castle back so we can have dream lights again.

I will be very curious to see if the lights return. I don’t think it’s a forgone conclusion at all though.

Last I heard the castle lights went to the farm to join their old friend Lights of Winter

That's kind of my expectation. Any time Disney can shake off a labor intensive guest expectation, they generally don't bring it back.

I hope the lights got some nice bunnies to chase on the farm.

 

[Touchdown]

The lights are ancient and not painted to match the castle anymore. Then coming back will take the equivalent cost and time as something new, so it’s far less likely. Let’s hope enough people continue to complain so that WDW puts up the cash.

 

[kevlightyear]

Why go through the trouble of replacing the lights when you can just project designs on the castle? Is that the way nowadays?

 

[castlecake2.0]

I always thought the lights looked ugly and wasn’t worth the weeks and weeks of visible crane work

 

[Disney Glimpses]

I think projections are unfortunately the future regarding temporary castle decorations. The lights were awesome but very expensive and guests really hate those cranes.

 

[Disney Glimpses]

I doubt Disney will do much to the castle until it fades to the point where they have to make a choice whether they'll change it back to the old color scheme or keep it the same, either way they will have to buy paint at that point. I hope I'm wrong and they repaint it grey as soon as the decorations come off.

My guess is the spires and rock work are repainted and the pink stays. The former is really unavoidable (there will be tan lines and they cannot be touched up). The pink has no real reason to change other than people don't like it too much. Hopefully whoever is in charge if this project is able to convince whoever that it's would just be easiest to get it all done now.
