Eventually, it will be time to paint the castle.Sadly I think the pink and gold are here to stay.

I don't remember which thread it was in or which member posted it, but they did a beautiful rendering of the castle with the gold trim, no pink, and dark blue turrets and it was gorgeous. That's definitely my ideal color scheme.
That looks very nice too, but in the one I was referencing, the castle had no pink.That couldn't have been my Photoshop, right?

Desperately hoping they get some sense into them and reevaluate the Coppertone color scheme. Ideally sooner rather than later, but I'd be willing to be a *little* patient if it meant they got it right this time.
the place is a shell of what it use to be. Look at the Gardens of Walt Disney World book if you can ever get your hand on a copy. It will make you ill.
Interesting that they kept the ribbons on the front/center two towers given that they're now goneSome new modified (never before seen) projections debuted for HEA. This version removes the jabot and swag decorations from the projections, but keeps the ribbons on the spires.
No clue why they even did this as the ribbons are currently in the process of going away, but it's better than nothing I guess. Plus the projections look much cleaner on the castle stone walls now (especially the stained glass scene with all the characters).

And just to keep track, here are all the different HEA castle projection versions:
- Regular/original (2017)
- Ribbons + jabot & swag decorations (early July 2021)
- Ribbons + jabot & swag + 50th medallion (late July 2021)
- Ribbons only (May 2023)
The final ribbon has been removed and the castle is now 50th decor-free.

There is definitely some fading of the areas not covered by the cage. It is going to need some attention. Some are worse than others.Here is a zoomed in photo from today of a spire without the 50th ribbon. The blue cages that held the gold ribbon in place has left noticeable marks on the castle itself.

Blatant gas-lighting.According to today's Earning Call, Bob Iger says WDW's 50th Anniversary was very "successful".
