Why not remove Cinderella's Castle

[King Panda 77]

Can they not just retract it underground , like they do at night , when there aren't fireworks and have a massive dance party stage on top .

They’re just working on how much extra they can charge for that.

That would be the best use of the land, it’s cheaper to tear down the castle than to build on an expansion plot. Plus Cinderella is old and a princess in a castle is problematic.

Am I doing this right?

Probably because I am old, but this sounds EXACTLY like what should be said.

Seriously, help an old dude out, why isn't a princess castle problematic?!?

Level the whole place and give it back to the alligators ---they were the original owners. Besides Disney only portrayed alligators as man eaters in Peter Pan (sarcasm)

 

[The Colonel]

they are much more likely to keep the castle but just give the princesses five o'clock shadows

They would NEVER get rid of the castle............. They may retheme it maybe

Don't forget, all ye naive Disney vacationers, they did do this to the castle:

I was there during that time. Ahh the good ol’ days….

That was 1996/97, and yes I was there in 1997 too. I took pictures of the castle that year because it looked different but it did not look good at all. There is no way the person(s) responsible with that decision are bragging to their grandkids about that one.

Was it??? Take a good look at the castle. Why do we assume Disney knows what it's doing?

 

[Dear Prudence]

With the removal of Tom Sawyer island, Splash Mountain, the Rivers of America, and the (beautiful) Lilly Belle, let's go all out and remove Cinderella's Castle. Think about it, it's taking up precious space where we could bout up a new coaster !!!

DON'T GIVE THEM ANY IDEAS!!!

There is nothing with the castle at all. My parents own castle cake merchandise.

I was at WDW in 1997 and WDW still was celebrating their 25th anniversary at the time I went.

It was unique and Disney only had castle cake for a whole year. The Castle Cake merchandise had was castle cake plates and you buy your own replica of Castle cake. I think there's might've some of other castle merchandise also.

Yeah, Demolish it and build Shanghai's castle.

Am I the only one who isn't a fan of Shanghai's castle? It feels very disjointed from the photos (I haven't seen it in person)

I didn't think anyone liked Shanghai's castle.

That was just awsome, wish disney would be bold enough to make something similar nowadays

"Disneyland will never be completed. It will continue to grow as long as there is imagination left in the world." - Walt Disney

“Walt never intended his parks to be museums” - Bob Chapek

You forgot one
"For every person who wants new original ideas, there's a hundred who want IP" - Robert Iger

I'm pretty sure I read that somewhere.

With Disney looking to reshape the park, they should definitely redo Main Street so it looks like an upscale suburban mall. They just need to follow the “look and feel” design standards they currently use when they build or renovate their on property hotels. Think Marriott design of muted grays and beiges!

They already removed a unique Main Street Bakery for a generic Starbucks. Nice way to remove the magic from Magic Kingdom

I was there and saw the castle In the minority I liked it--wife has a t shirt of the cake castle

Why not get rid of small world every time I have been on it -- it was a walk on ----been there for 50 yrs time for a change.(sarcasm) it's a classic

Freeing some center park land is a great idea, tear it down and replace with one of the tiny castles to appease the castle lovers then run into the speedway to make a mega land that brings the entire "Disney Vault" IPs to life throughout the new land.......
