Disney is Giving Cinderella Castle an Iconic New Look
We are so excited about the news that just came out of D23. The beloved icon of the Magic Kingdom in World Disney World, Cinderella Castle, is getting a new look!
Cinderella Castle in the Magic Kingdom
There is nothing like that moment you first catch a glimpse of Cinderella Castle coming into view on Main Street U.S.A. in Walt Disney World. Similarly, there is nothing like that last glance before you head home from the magic, either.
Cinderella Castle has been filling dreamers of all ages with wonder for more than 50 years! Surely it is one of the most photographed icons in the world!
Disney keeps Cinderella Castle looking picture-perfect from any perspective. And part of the magic has to do with the care that goes into paint colors and design details.
The Many Looks of the Castle
Over the years, the castle has gone through several looks. Perhaps one of the most memorable is the Cake Castle for the occasion of celebrating Walt Disney World's 25th anniversary.
Many fans also remember when Stitch pranked park guests by rolling the castle. And, of course, fans will remember when Disney decided to make it pink for the 50th anniversary.
Cinderella Castle is still pink and blue. However, that is about to change. Today, during the "Beyond the Spires: An Insider Look at Disney Castles" panel at D23, Disney Imagineers announced that Cinderella Castle is about to get a new look!
A First Look at the Color Scheme
We are delighted to report that the castle will return to the classic grays, creams, and blues reminiscent of its classic look, complete with touches of gold! This is a change that will bring with it waves of nostalgia for many fans.
Cinderella Castle will be painted gray, cream, and blue once more.
Here, you can take a look at the concept art to see how the project will look when it is complete. We do not have an anticipated completion date just yet, but we are excited to see the transformation! We are also interested to see whether the change brings back the dream lights at Christmastime!
