As we (somewhat) patiently wait for the reopening of the Walt Disney World theme parks in mid-July, there is one project that is relatively easy to see progress on from outside of the parks.
Cinderella Castle is being repainted to celebrate the the 70th anniversary of the release of Cinderella, and with the parks closed and construction newly restarted, now is a wonderful time for crews to make progress on the project. As a reminder, here’s the concept art released for the project.
With the afternoon sun on the opposite side of the Castle, it was a little bit tough to color-balance with previous photos taken in direct sunlight or overcast skies, but we can see that the front of Cinderella Castle has received more paint in the past few days. It’s worth noting that painting was halted for a few days due to inclement weather.
A closer crop reveals a couple of different shades of gold trim, specifically in the middle of the photo.
We were able to capture another angle of the repainting, this time in the direct sunlight. This is the Fantasyland, or back side, of Cinderella Castle. This angle provides a good contrast of the colors currently on Cinderella Castle and the previous colors.
